Playing career

As a youth, Palmieri played in the 2002 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a minor ice hockey team from Syracuse, New York.[2]

Palmieri played his first National Hockey League game with the New Jersey Devils on January 20, 2010, against the Florida Panthers,[3] during which he scored his first NHL point, an assist on a Travis Zajac goal.[4] His first NHL goal was an empty-net goal scored on January 9, 2011, against the Tampa Bay Lightning. His first game-winning goal was scored against the Dallas Stars.

On February 24, 2012, Palmieri was involved in a multiplayer trade by the Devils along with Stephane Veilleux and Kurtis Foster and additional draft picks to the Minnesota Wild in exchange for Marek Zidlicky.[5]

On February 4, 2013, Palmieri was traded by the Wild, along with forward Darroll Powe, to the New York Rangers in exchange for veteran forward Mike Rupp.[6] In August 2013, Palmieri signed with EHC München of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga.[7]

After two seasons in Germany, Palmieri left the Schwenninger Wild Wings as a free agent, signing a one-year deal in the Neighboring Austrian EBEL on a one-year deal with Italian outfit, HCB South Tyrol on October 16, 2015.[8] In the 2015–16 season, Palmieri made an immediate impression in Italy, contributing with 10 goals and 25 points in 43 games. On May 19, 2016, Palmieri opted to extend his tenure with the foxes in agreeing to a further one-year deal.[9]

gollark: Well, that seems overly centralized.
gollark: I don't think that's relevant. AES requires both ends to have the same key, so I don't see how that works.
