Isaiah McKenzie: Everything you need to know

Palmieri scored a goal Thursday in a 2-1 win over Boston. His goal stood as the winner. Palmieri scored early in the second period on a rebound play -- he drove the net as Brock Nelson took a sharp-angle shot from the left boards and hammered the puck past Jeremy Swayman. Palmieri has five points, including four goals, in his last five games, and he's on pace for a 55-point season. His shot volume is down this season from last -- he's projected for 157 after racking up 218 last season. And he's put up just six power-play points after tallying 20 last year. But there's still some fantasy value in Palmieri's game, especially if he can elevate his scoring over the final stretch.

The Giants and McKenzie (lower body) reached an injury settlement Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reported. McKenzie was set to spend the 2024 season on injured reserve with the Giants after suffering a lower body injury in the preseason, but he'll now have a chance to return to the field with a new team. The wide receiver appeared in 13 contests with the Colts in 2023, racking up 11 catches for 82 yards while also compiling 356 total yards on kick and punt returns.

The Giants placed McKenzie (lower body) on injured reserve Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. New York opted not to designate McKenzie for return, meaning his placement on injured reserve is season-ending, barring an injury settlement. The veteran wideout reportedly suffered a knee laceration and a right foot injury during the Giants' final preseason game. His absence for the 2024 season will open up opportunities in the return game for other players on New York's roster, especially if Gunner Olszewski (groin) doesn't return to full health in quick fashion.
