Recent acquisitions Tony DeAngelo, signed as a free agent after a stint playing in Russia, Scott Perunovich, acquired from the Blues for a conditional fifth-round pick, and Adam Boqvist, claimed off waivers from the Panthers, could potentially be flipped.

It’s no secret the New York Islanders will be active this week in the lead-up to the trade deadline. The activities in question remain unknown. All season long, rumors have swirled about Brock Nelson and Kyle Palmieri.

The team’s focus was all on Sunday night as the Islanders resumed their season against the Dallas Stars at UBS Arena after a two-week break for the inaugural 4 Nations Face-off Tournament while getting defensemen Ryan Pulock and Scott Mayfield back into the lineup.
