Islanders' Tomas Poletin: Racks up three helpers Tuesday
Poletin notched three assists in WHL Kelowna's 8-5 win over Moose Jaw on Tuesday.
Poletin has earned three goals and four assists over four contests in November. He's up to eight goals and eight helpers through 15 outings overall, but the Islanders prospect has turned things up a notch recently. Staying above a point-per-game pace will count as a successful season for the 19-year-old.

Islanders' Kamil Bednarik: Three points in tough loss
Bednarik scored a goal and added two assists in Boston University's 6-5 overtime loss to Harvard University on Tuesday.
Bednarik is in his junior campaign for BU, and he's off to a strong start. He's racked up four goals, five assists and 41 PIM through 10 appearances. He had a total of 35 points across 75 outings in his first two years of college, so the uptick in offense is a great sign for his development.

Islanders' Ben Hutton: Opens scoring Monday
Hutton scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Monday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Sharks.
Hutton signed with the Islanders on Thursday and has now made two appearances with his new team. The goal was his first point, and he's added a plus-2 rating, two hits and a blocked shot. Expect the 33-year-old defenseman to settle into a part-time role, battling with Scott Mayfield and Matt Kessel for playing time. Hutton had 15 points over 55 regular-season outings with the Golden Knights last year.

Islanders' Victor Eklund: Scores power-play goal in SO loss
Eklund scored a power-play goal on two shots in Monday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Sharks.
Eklund gave New York a 2-1 advantage early in the second period, converting a feed from Brayden Schenn with Matthew Schaefer collecting the secondary assist. The young winger has scored in three consecutive games, demonstrating encouraging finishing ability. His involvement on the man advantage adds to his fantasy appeal, although his overall production remains subject to the volatility typically associated with developing players. He's trending in the right direction, however, as he's skating as a top-six forward while scoring in five of his last nine games, tallying six points over that stretch.

Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Makes 37 saves in shootout loss
Sorokin stopped 37 of 39 shots through overtime in Monday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Sharks.
Sorokin faced a heavy workload, turning aside 37 shots while allowing even-strength goals to Ivar Stenberg and Tyler Toffoli. The veteran finished regulation and overtime with a .949 save percentage, delivering another impressive performance after making 45 saves against New Jersey in his previous appearance. His consistently heavy workload continues to support his fantasy value, particularly in save-based formats, but he's now on a three-game losing skid, going 0-1-2 in that span despite allowing three or fewer goals twice.

Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Defending road crease Monday
Sorokin will start Monday's road game against the Sharks, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
Sorokin has been somewhat inconsistent recently, as he's gone 1-1-1 with a 3.64 GAA and .890 save percentage across his last three appearances. He'll draw a second consecutive start Monday and will have a favorable matchup against the Sharks, who have logged 2.47 goals per game to begin the year, which is the third-worst mark in the NHL.

Islanders' Matias Maccelli: Considered day-to-day
Maccelli (lower body) is day-to-day, according to Andrew Gross of Newsday on Monday.
Maccelli wore a red no-contact jersey during the morning skate, and he will miss his ninth straight game against San Jose on Monday. It's still unclear when he will return to the lineup, but he will need to be activated from injured reserve once he receives the green light to play. Maccelli has two goals, six points and 13 shots on net in eight appearances this season.

Islanders' Mathew Barzal: Deemed day-to-day
Barzal (knee) won't be in the lineup against the Sharks on Monday but has been upgraded to day-to-day, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
The fact that Barzal is traveling with the team was good news to begin with, but it seems the veteran will be back sooner rather than later. In 81 regular-season games last year, the British Columbia native game up just one tally shy of the 20-goal mark, tallying 19 goals and 53 helpers, including 20 power-play points. With his lengthy absence, Barzal is unlikely to repeat that level of production in 2026-27.

Islanders' Bo Horvat: Plucks pair of apples Saturday
Horvat recorded two assists and put two shots on net in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to New Jersey.
Horvat distributed the primary helper on Matthew Schaefer's goal late in the first period before late registering a secondary assist in the middle stanza. Overall, the 31-year-old Horvat is up to seven goals, 16 points, 49 shots on net and 28 hits across 16 outings this season. The Isles' captain is one of the more steady two-way forwards across the NHL, making him a viable fantasy option in all formats moving forward.

Islanders' Victor Eklund: Back-to-back games with goal
Eklund scored a goal, put two shots on net and dished out five hits in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to New Jersey.
Eklund gave the Islanders a 4-2 lead with his tally midway through the second period. The 20-year-old winger has been heating up, as he's posted a goal in each of his last two games, which is something he's accomplished twice this season. He's up to five goals, eight points, 24 shots on net and 47 hits across 16 games this season. Eklund is one of the more exciting young players to have rostered in keeper and dynasty-based fantasy leagues that value banger stats.

Islanders' Simon Holmstrom: Adds one of each in OT loss
Holmstrom tallied a goal, recorded an assist, put two shots on net and served two PIM in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to New Jersey.
Holmstrom recorded his third multi-point game of the season Saturday and his second against New Jersey this season. He picked up the primary helper on Anthony Duclair's opening goal of the contest before he later scored himself early in the second to give the Isles and 3-2 lead. The 25-year-old Holmstrom is up to five goals, nine points, 28 shots on net and seven blocked shots across 16 appearances this season. The young winger is making the most of his role on the team's third line and top power-play unit, as he's recorded seven points over his last nine games. Holmstrom should be a viable streaming option periodically in the 2026-27 campaign.

Islanders' Matthew Schaefer: Strikes goal in OT loss
Schaefer recorded a goal, fired three shots on net, had two blocked shots, served two PIM and dished out two hits in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to New Jersey.
Schaefer's strong sophomore campaign continued Saturday, as he struck the back of the nate late in the first period to give the Islanders a 2-0 lead. The 19-year-old phenom has five goals, 16 points, 57 shots on net, 12 hits and 14 blocked shots over 16 outings this season. After a slow start in the goal-scoring department to begin the season, he has all five of his goals over his last seven outings, making him one of the top blueliners in fantasy for the time being. Expect Schaefer to contend for 60-plus points this season.

Islanders' Anthony Duclair: Opens scoring Saturday
Duclair tallied a goal and served 10 PIM in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to New Jersey.
Duclair put the Islanders on the board late in Saturday's first period off an assist from Simon Holmstrom. Overall, the 31-year-old Duclair is up to four goals, six points and 20 shots on net over 16 outings this season. Due to his lack of category coverage and role in the Isles' bottom six, he remains off the fantasy radar for the time being.

Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Faces barrage of shots in loss
Sorokin turned aside 45 of 50 shots on goal in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to New Jersey.
Sorokin faced the half-century mark in shots on goal Saturday, and if it wasn't for the 31-year-old netminder, the Isles likely would have lost in regulation. His save total of 45 Saturday tied the third-highest number of saves he's made in a regular-season game across his seven-year NHL career. Sorokin holds a 6-4-1 record, a 2.64 GAA, one shutout and a .910 save percentage over 11 outings this season. Despite his recently inflated GAA, Sorokin remains a clear No. 1 fantasy option given his big-game potential and overall track record.

Islanders' Danny Nelson: Two-goal effort in win
Nelson scored two goals in the University of Notre Dame's 4-2 win over Penn State on Saturday.
Nelson is up to five goals and five assists over 10 outings this season. He's grown his offense steadily in each season of college, and as a senior, he's a second-year captain for the Fighting Irish. The Islanders prospect may be ready to turn professional after the 2026-27 campaign.

Islanders' Pierre Engvall: Adds three points for Hamilton
Engvall scored a goal and dished two assists in AHL Hamilton's 6-3 win over Lehigh Valley on Saturday.
Engvall has four goals and seven assists over 15 games this season. The forward is in the fourth campaign of his seven-year contract, but it's unclear if he'll receive many more chances in the NHL. That said, he can fill in if injuries pile up for the Islanders.

Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Slated for historic start
Sorokin is expected to guard the home net in Saturday's clash against New Jersey, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.
With Saturday's start, Sorokin will take sole possession of second place for most goalie appearances in Islanders history, trailing only Billy Smith. Across 10 appearances in the 2026-27 campaign, the 31-year-old Sorokin has posted a 6-4-0 record, a 2.41 GAA, a shutout and a .911 save percentage. He'll face a relatively tough matchup Saturday against New Jersey, but fantasy managers should start Sorokin with confidence given his track record as a consistent top-10 goalie in the NHL.
