Mayfield (lower body) underwent season-ending surgery, the team announced Tuesday.
The Isles didn't provide any clarification on the specific nature of Mayfield's lower-body injury but did say it wouldn't impact his offseason training program. The blueliner is in the first season of a seven-year deal he signed with the Isles in July of 2023. Even when healthy, Mayfield won't offer much in the way of fantasy value considering he has reached the 20-point threshold just once in his NHL career.

Rotowire
Mayfield is expected to miss 4-6 weeks with a lower-body injury. The 31-year-old defender was placed on long-term injured reserve Tuesday, per Arthur Staple of The Athletic.
Mayfield's extended absence will test the Islanders' depth at defense, but it shouldn't impact many fantasy lineups, as he's collected just five helpers through 41 contests this campaign. Mike Reilly could be a regular in the lineup while Mayfield is on the shelf.

Islanders' Scott Mayfield: Day-to-day with leg injury
Rotowire
Mayfield is considered day-to-day with a leg injury after blocking a shot against Buffalo on Saturday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
Mayfield played just 16:47 of ice time Saturday, which would have been his sixth-lowest minutes total compared to last season. The 31-year-old blueliner is coming off a career year in which he set personal bests in goals (six) and assists (18), marks that he may be hard-pressed to get back to this season. If Mayfield can't play versus Arizona on Tuesday, Samuel Bolduc figures to slot into the third pairing in Mayfield's stead.
