Islanders' Kyle Palmieri: Not expected to play Tuesday

Palmieri isn't expected to play against the Sabres on Tuesday.

Palmieri is healthy and available, but this will be the third straight game that he's a healthy scratch. Palmieri has been a disappointment this season, as he only has one goal in 29 games. This isn't what the Islanders thought they were getting when they signed him to a four-year, $20 million contract during the offseason.
