PITTSBURGH — Adam Pelech was back in the lineup for the Islanders, but Tuesday was not the long-awaited day they could play their six opening-night defenseman for the first time since Oct. 25.

Adam Boqvist was also sick, though it’s unclear whether the Swede would have been ready to play either way after missing the past two games with an upper-body injury.
