Palmieri (ankle) skated for the second straight day Monday, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports.

Analysis:

Palmieri is expected to miss the remainder of the preseason while he recovers from the ankle injury, but the team isn't yet ruling him out for the Oct. 9 regular season opener. He'll attempt to increase his activity over the next few days, after which the Ducks should offer more clarity on a possible return date.
