Islanders' Jonathan Drouin: Won't play versus Ducks
Drouin (back) will not be in the lineup against Anaheim on Thursday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
Drouin has been out of action for the Isles' last four contests and will now be on the shelf for a fifth. Prior to suffering his back injury, the 30-year-old center was mired in a nine-game goal drought during which he registered one assist, 17 shots and six blocks while averaging 18:52 of ice time. With Drouin on the shelf, the Isles have shifted Jean-Gabriel Pageau to the wing on the second line for Mathew Barzal.

Islanders' Maxim Tsyplakov: In part-time role
Tsyplakov was scratched for Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Golden Knights.
This scratch came after five straight games in the lineup for Tsyplakov, who got bumped out by the return of Jean-Gabriel Pageau (upper body). Tsyplakov has done nothing to help his case for playing time -- he's gone without a point in his last 14 games while getting scratched eight times in that span. The 27-year-old has a meager one goal, 15 shots on net, 37 hits and a minus-6 rating over 20 appearances after putting up 10 goals and 35 points in 77 outings a year ago.

Islanders' Emil Heineman: Nets winning tally in shootout
Heineman scored the winning tally in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over Vegas.
Despite recording just one shot on goal and two hits in regulation and overtime, Heineman became the hero in Tuesday's shootout win. He converted the team's fourth attempt for the only score. While he didn't find the scoresheet, the shootout tally could be a confidence boost for the 24-year-old winger. He already has 16 points through 31 games this season, which is just two tallies away from matching his career high through 62 regular-season games a year ago. He also offers a premium in hits with 109 on the season, which ranks third among all skaters. He hasn't earned a point in his last six games, but Heineman remains a solid option in nearly all banger league formats while seeing top-line minutes.

Islanders' Simon Holmstrom: Ends goal drought in win
Holmstrom tallied a goal in Tuesday's 5-4 shoutout win over Vegas.
Holmstrom found the back of the net just beyond the midway point in the second period to give New York a 3-2 lead. With the twine finder, Holmstrom tallied his first goal since Nov. 2, snapping a 17-game slump. After a solid start that included eight points through his first 12 games this season, he has just two points across his last 18 appearances.

Islanders' Matthew Schaefer: Chips in with helper
Schaefer distributed an assist and fired four shots on net in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Golden Knights.
Schaefer logged an assist on Bo Horvat's tally near the end of the first period to get the Islanders on the board. With the helper, Schaefer is up to 14 assists, 22 points, 87 shots on goal and 40 blocks through 31 games this season. The budding superstar and frontrunner for the Calder Trophy has racked up a goal and six assists through the last eight contests. His heavy shot volume ranks fourth among defensemen and makes him a must-roster defenseman in nearly all fantasy formats.

Islanders' Marc Gatcomb: Finds twine in win
Gatcomb netted a goal and dished out nine hits in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Golden Knights.
Gatcomb made his presence felt in the contest with a second-period goal and a season-high nine hits. With his effort Tuesday, the 26-year-old forward is up to two points, six shots on net and 29 hits through five games this season. He's making the most of his stint in the NHL in the absence of Jonathan Drouin (back). Once Drouin returns, Gatcomb has a chance to remain with the Islanders instead of returning to AHL Bridgeport, but he'd likely rotate in and out of the lineup. When he does play, Gatcomb offers a premium value in hits per game, but has limited offensive upside.

Islanders' Bo Horvat: Pots pair of goals Tuesday
Horvat scored two goals, including one on the power play, placed five shots on net and served two PIM in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over Vegas.
Horvat tallied the first goal for New York near the end of the opening period before he gave the Isles a 4-3 lead midway through the third with a power-play strike. After Tuesday's pair of scores, he is up to 19 goals, 31 points and 109 shots on goal through 31 games this season. The 30-year-old center is having one of his best starts to a season of his 12-year career. With 19 twine finders, Horvast is tied for third in the league and trails Colorado's Nathan MacKinnon by five goals for the top spot. If Horvat can maintain his current goal-scoring pace, he not only will be in the conversation for the Rocket Richard Trophy but also should be comfortably on track to set a new career high in points.

Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Holds on for shootout win
Sorokin turned aside 33 of 37 shots on net in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Golden Knights.
Despite allowing two goals in each of the first and third periods of Tuesday's contest, Sorokin hung on to win in the shootout, which included him making a save against Jack Eichel. With the win, Sorokin is up to an 11-8-2 record with a 2.53 GAA and a .910 save percentage through 21 appearances. The 30-year-old netminder has helped lead the Isles to a win in each of his last four starts. In that span, he's made 30 saves or more in each game, which moved him up to sixth in saves across the NHL. Sorokin is back to playing at an elite level, making him a top goaltending option in most fantasy formats that track saves. His next chance to take the ice is Thursday against the Ducks.

Islanders' Jonathan Drouin: Remains unavailable
Drouin (back) isn't expected to play against Vegas on Tuesday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
Drouin is poised to miss his fourth straight game, but he did skate on his own with skills coach Troy Stevens on Tuesday. The 30-year-old Drouin has three goals, 15 points and 38 shots on net across 26 appearances this season.

Islanders' Jean-Gabriel Pageau: Set to return from UBI
Pageau (upper body) will be in the lineup at home Tuesday versus the Golden Knights, according to Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.
Pageau will suit up for the first time since Nov. 22, as he missed the last eight games due to his upper-body injury. The right-shot forward took line rushes with Mathew Barzal and Anders Lee during Tuesday's morning skate, so Pageau may not be eased into action after some time off. Maxim Tsyplakov might be a healthy scratch due to Pageau's return.

Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Exits ice first Tuesday
Sorokin was the first goalie off the ice ahead of Tuesday's home clash with Vegas, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports, indicating he'll be in goal.
Sorokin recorded his third shutout of the season, his last time out, extending his winning streak to three games. The veteran netminder sits behind Jesper Wallstedt for the league lead (four) in shutouts this year. Fantasy managers can likely expect Sorokin to sit near the top of the list of games played this year, which makes him a high-end fantasy option.

Islanders' David Rittich: Gives up three goals
Rittich stopped 26 of 29 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Panthers. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Rittich was beaten once in each period, and since the Islanders didn't produce a lot of offense, he was deservedly tagged with the loss. Rittich has dropped his last two starts while allowing at least three goals each time. However, he still owns a decent 4-2-1 record dating back to the start of November, posting a 2.37 GAA and .900 save percentage in that stretch.

Islanders' Mathew Barzal: Pots goal Sunday
Barzal scored a goal in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Panthers.
Barzal found the back of the net at the 9:03 mark of the second period with a backhander. That was his lone shot of the game, and it was also all the offense the Islanders would muster. Barzal has scored in two of his last three games and has four points over that span, suggesting he is leaving his November slump behind. He posted nine points in 15 games that month.

Islanders' Jean-Gabriel Pageau: Remains day-to-day
Pageau (upper body) won't play against Florida on Sunday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
Pageau is still day-to-day and will miss his eighth straight game. He has collected six goals, 12 points, 22 shots on net, 23 blocked shots and 33 hits across 22 appearances this season. Once healthy, Pageau will probably return to a third-line role.

Islanders' David Rittich: Sunday starter
Rittich will start Sunday's game against the Panthers, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
After four straight starts by Ilya Sorokin, the net will be Rittich's on Sunday as the Islanders finish up a back-to-back. The 33-year-old Rittich has had a good season so far, holding a 6-2-1 record with a 2.61 GAA and a .901 save percentage. Rittich faces a Panthers team coming off a seven-goal performance against the Blue Jackets in its last game.
