Top Islanders News

  • Islanders' Cole Eiserman: Excelling as rookie

    Eiserman has scored 15 goals while adding eight helpers in 25 contests with Boston University.

    Eiserman's 15 goals places him second on the Terriers behind Quinn Hutson despite the 18-year-old Hutson playing in his first collegiate season. A product of the US National Development Team Program, Eiserman is likely still a couple of years from making the jump to the NHL level but certainly seems to be rewarding the Islanders for having taken him 20th overall in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft.

  • Islanders' Scott Perunovich: Dishes assist Saturday

    Perunovich accounted for an assist, two PIM, one shot on goal, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in 24:39 of ice time in Saturday's 6-3 loss to Minnesota.

    Perunovich utilized his offensive ability when he single-handedly set up Anders Lee's 23rd goal of the season at 7:17 of the middle frame. Perunovich has earned three helpers over seven outings with the Islanders since being acquired in a trade from the Blues on Jan. 27. The left-shot blueliner's mobility has been a welcome addition for a club that is riddled with injuries on the back end. Perunovich's 24:39 of ice time Saturday was a season high, and considering his power-play role on the second unit, the 26-year-old makes for a speculative add in formats that prioritize scoring -- he doesn't provide many hits, blocked shots or PIM.

  • Islanders' Maxim Tsyplakov: Nabs two apples in defeat

    Tsyplakov banked two even-strength assists Saturday in a 6-3 loss to the Wild.

    Tsyplakov has registered at least one assist in five of his last six games, but he hasn't scored since Dec. 21. The Russian winger has contributed seven goals, 18 helpers and a plus-9 rating through 51 appearances in his first season on North American ice. The 26-year-old has bounced around the lineup at times this season, but he's developed some chemistry on the second line with Brock Nelson and Kyle Palmieri of late. Tsyplakov will look to end his goal drought when the Islanders are back in action Feb. 23 against Dallas.

  • Islanders' Anders Lee: Pots goal Saturday

    Lee netted an even-strength goal on six shots Saturday in a 6-3 loss to the Wild.

    Lee converted a back door tap-in after being set up by Scott Perunovich at 7:17 of the second period. Lee has earned a point in back-to-back outings after a four-game dry spell. The only other time Lee was held without a point in at least four consecutive games came between Nov. 16-23, so he's been consistent for the most part in a top-six role at even strength, though he's registered just six points with the man advantage. The Islanders' captain is up to 23 goals, 41 points and a plus-15 rating through 55 appearances in 2024-25. Lee and the Islanders will host the Stars on Feb. 23 when the NHL resumes play after the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament.

  • Islanders' Brock Nelson: Goal, assist in home state

    Nelson produced a goal on a team-high eight shots, an assist, one hit, one blocked shot and a minus-1 rating in Saturday's 6-3 loss to Minnesota.

    Nelson logged the primary assist on Kyle Palmieri's 16th goal of 2024-25 before he gave New York a 2-1 lead in the opening 28 seconds of the middle frame. Nelson has been subject to trade speculation due to his pending unrestricted free agent status, but New York has crept into the playoff race recently, so General Manager Lou Lamoriello may have to be blown away with an offer in order to concede a top-six center. Nelson is at 17 goals and 35 points through 55 appearances this season. The 33-year-old won't have any time off during the break -- he'll don the Team USA sweater at the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off tournament.

  • Islanders' Kyle Palmieri: Two points in defeat

    Palmieri scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Wild.

    Palmieri has goals in back-to-back games and four of his last six. It's been a productive stretch for the right-shot winger, who has found the scoresheet in eight of his last 12 games. Given that he'll be an unrestricted free agent after this season, Palmieri could be a trade candidate for a contender looking to add some scoring, but New York's play out of the break and before the trade deadline will likely dictate how the club navigates its future. The 34-year-old has provided 16 goals and 37 points through 55 appearances in 2024-25.

  • Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Yields five goals Saturday

    Sorokin surrendered five goals on 32 shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Wild. The sixth marker was an empty-netter.

    After winning seven consecutive games, Sorokin has lost back-to-back contests while allowing at least four goals in each defeat. The Russian netminder had a 3-1 lead before Minnesota struck for three quick goals late in the second period, and the Islanders ultimately couldn't recover. On the season, Sorokin holds a 20-16-4 record, .907 save percentage and 2.69 GAA through 40 appearances. The 29-year-old should benefit from a break in the schedule due to the 4 Nations Face-Off -- the Islanders won't be back in action until Feb. 23 against the Stars.

  • Islanders' Mathew Barzal: Expected to miss about six weeks

    Barzal had a minor procedure done on his kneecap Thursday and could be out for about six weeks, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports Saturday.

    Barzal has six goals and 20 points in 30 appearances during the 2024-25 campaign. According to the Islanders, the 27-year-old forward is on injured reserve and out indefinitely. Anthony Duclair has been playing on the top line and the first power-play unit due to Barzal's absence.

  • Islanders' Anders Lee: Back on scoresheet Friday

    Lee registered an assist, four shots on net, two hits and a minus-1 rating in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Jets.

    Lee notched the primary helper on Kyle Palmieri's even-strength marker at 11:07 of the final frame to cut the lead to 4-3. Lee was held off the scoresheet in four consecutive games prior to Friday. While the 34-year-old had struggled to live up to his seven-year, $49 million contract in previous years, he's taken his game to another level and has been one of New York's most consistent players in 2024-25. The left-shot winger is on pace for around 61 points, which would be one shy of his career-high set in 2017-18. Lee is at 22 goals, 40 points and a plus-17 rating through 54 outings this season.

  • Islanders' Marc Gatcomb: Nets goal in defeat

    Gatcomb found the back of the net on his only shot in 8:19 of ice time Friday in a 4-3 loss to Winnipeg.

    Gatcomb gave the Isles a 2-1 lead in the opening frame, but Winnipeg would storm back in the second period. The right-shot forward has scored three goals over his last five games and has added some physicality to New York's bottom six. While he's been able to chip in a few goals, he hasn't produced an assist over his first 11 NHL games. The 25-year-old could earn his first career helper Saturday against the Wild.

  • Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Continues to produce in 2025

    Romanov logged an even-strength assist, three shots on goal, five blocked shots and one takeaway in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Jets.

    Romanov has earned a helper in back-to-back games. He helped out on Kyle Palmieri's 15th goal of the season in the third period. Romanov has two goals and nine points over 13 games since the calendar flipped to 2025 -- he had just six assists through the first three months of the campaign. The left-shot blueliner makes for an interesting add in most formats, especially now that he's paired with the offensively-minded Tony DeAngelo. Romanov will look to extend his point streak to three games Saturday in Minnesota.

  • Islanders' Matt Martin: Slips out of lineup again

    Martin was scratched for the 10th consecutive contest in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Jets.

    Martin played in four straight games from Jan. 9-16, but his role has once again been reduced. The 35-year-old has just one assist to go with 68 hits, 12 shots on net and 10 PIM across 24 appearances this season. On the rare occasions he plays, he's been in a fourth-line role, so his fantasy value is minimal.

  • Islanders' Simon Holmstrom: Scores in Friday's loss

    Holmstrom scored a goal in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Jets.

    Holmstrom has done well to maintain a middle-six role lately, earning five goals and three assists over 10 contests since he returned from an upper-body injury. The winger doesn't see much power-play time, which is likely to limit his ability to sustain his recent scoring pace. He's now at 30 points, 54 shots on net and a plus-7 rating over 47 outings this season.

  • Islanders' Kyle Palmieri: Deposits goal Friday

    Palmieri scored a goal on three shots in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Jets.

    Palmieri has three goals over his last five games. Prior to that stretch, he had gone 14 contests without a goal, picking up seven assists in that span. The 34-year-old winger hasn't put it altogether recently, but he's maintaining a top-six role. He's at 15 goals, 20 helpers, 97 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 54 appearances this season.

  • Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Slated to start in Minnesota

    Sorokin is expected to start Saturday's road game against the Wild, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

    Sorokin's seven-game winning streak came to an end in Winnipeg on Friday, as he allowed four goals on 27 shots (.852 save percentage). However, he'll have a chance to bounce back in the second half of the back-to-back set since Saturday's matchup is the Islanders' final game before the 4 Nations Face-Off. He'll have a more favorable opponent Saturday, as the Wild rank 21st in the NHL with 2.82 goals per game.
