Islanders Nab Cup Vet Palat from Devils
The Islanders pull off a slick intra-division heist, landing Stanley Cup hero Ondrej Palat from the Devils along with draft picks in exchange for Maxim Tsyplakov. Mathieu Darche, who knows Palat's game inside out from their Tampa days, bets on the 34-year-old's playoff pedigree to shore up New York's push for the postseason. Palat's two Cups, Calder Cup, and upcoming Olympics stint bring that championship grit Long Island craves as they sit third in the Metro, just two points back.
