New York Islanders forward Kyle Palmieri, who picked up an assist as he limped off the ice during Friday's game against the Philadelphia Flyers, made that play on a torn ACL, the team said.

Kyle Palmieri will get surgery to repair an ACL tear in his left knee and will be out 6-8 months

Palmieri was quietly in the middle of a strong season after signing a two-year, $9.5 million extension during the offseason, with six goals and 12 assists over 25 games.
