Palmieri practiced on the second PP unit and is likely to play tomorrow because of it. He has a goal and two points through six games.

Palmieri continues to score at the AHL level and looks like a perfect fit on the top line. Keep him in the back of your mind and grab him in deeper leagues.

Palmieri has 17 goals in 18 games and is clearly ready for the NHL. Expect him to get a look on a scoring line.

Palmieri moves to the top line after toiling on checking lines for a few games. The Utica, New York native scored a goal and four points over his first 13 games.

Palmieri moves off the top line after scoring a goal and three points over his first eight games this season. Expect him to drop a bit in production while playing a checking line role.

Palmieri failed to show up despite having a chance to earn playing time during training camp. The former 26th overall pick still led the Syracuse Crunch in goals last season and should be considered a top prospect. Look for him to get called up if any significant offensive player gets hurt.

No immediate fantasy hockey value while playing in the AHL.

Palmieri holds a decent chance of making the team after leading the Syracuse Crunch of the AHL in scoring last season. His breakout speed and nose for the net are only two NHL-ready qualities, the big question is playing time.

Palmieri dominated the AHL last season to the tune of 29 goals and 51 points in 62 games. If he earns a scoring role, he could potentially make an impact in mixed leagues.
