The New York Islanders are on the verge of regaining full strength after a long series of injuries that have plagued the team for much of the season. On Sunday, December 15, 2024, Adam Pelech, who has been sidelined for the last six weeks due to a jaw injury sustained on November 1, is confirmed to return in the upcoming game against the Chicago Blackhawks. Alongside him, Mat Barzal, also out for six weeks with an upper-body injury, joins the lineup as a game-time decision. While Anthony Duclair is not returning just yet, he is traveling with the team, suggesting he could play soon against the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday.
