Islanders' Kashawn Aitcheson: Puts up three more points for Colts
Aitcheson scored a goal and added two assists in OHL Barrie's 6-2 win over Sudbury on Thursday.
Aitcheson logged his second multi-point effort in a row and has extended his point streak to five games. The defenseman is providing elite offense in the OHL with 12 goals and eight assists through 17 contests this season. Those 12 goals are five more than the next closest blueliner, Kings prospect and OHL London defenseman Henry Brzustewicz. Aitcheson's offense might be better than initially expected, though time will tell if that gives him top-pairing potential at the NHL level.

Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Set to start Saturday
Sorokin is slated to start Saturday's road game against the Rangers, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
Sorokin has had some early-season struggles, going 3-4-2 with a 3.33 GAA and .879 save percentage over his first nine appearances of the season, but he's still started the majority of the games in the crease for the Islanders. He'll tend the twine in the second half of a back-to-back set Saturday and will have a favorable matchup against the Rangers, who are averaging a league-worst 2.21 goals this season.

Islanders' David Rittich: In goal Friday
Rittich will get the starting nod for Friday's home game against the Wild, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
Rittich will take the first game of the Isles' back-to-back before Ilya Sorokin tends the twine on the road versus the Rangers on Saturday. It will be the fifth appearance of the season for the 33-year-old Rittich, having gone 3-1-0 with a 3.01 GAA in his previous four outings. If Rittich can keep racking up wins, he could force head coach Patrick Roy to give him some more opportunities down the stretch.

Islanders' Kyle MacLean: Produces assist in shootout loss
MacLean logged an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Bruins.
The helper was MacLean's first point in nine appearances this season. He began the year as a healthy scratch but has worked his way into steady fourth-line minutes while Max Shabanov(upper body) has been out. MacLean has added seven shots on net, 14 hits, 19 PIM and a minus-4 rating this season. He's unlikely to get enough ice time to make a positive impact in fantasy.

Islanders' Anthony Duclair: Rare goal in shootout loss
Duclair scored a goal Tuesday in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Bruins.
Duclair put the Isles up 1-0 early in the second period with a quick turnaround shot that beat Jeremy Swayman blocker side through a screen. At some point, we all need to give up on the idea that Duclair will ever be the winger he was in Florida in 2021-22 -- he put up 31 goals and 58 points in 74 regular-season games during that campaign. Duclair hasn't reached the 75-game mark in a regular season since 2015-16, and he's on his eighth franchise. He delivers in small spurts; throw him and his four points (three goals) in 13 games back on the wire.

Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Shootout loss but signs of life
Sorokin made 24 saves in a 4-3 shootout loss to Boston on Tuesday.
He allowed just one goal in the shootout. Sorokin and the Isles continue to scuffle this season. He's 3-4-2 with a 3.33 GAA and an .879 save percentage in nine starts. That save percentage is 38th in the NHL. His GAA is 55th. Those simply don't compute with Sorokin's career averages of 2.60 GAA and .915 save percentage. There may be some signs of life, though. Sorokin has played four games (1-1-2) with new goalie coach Sergei Naumovs, who successfully coached the netminder in the KHL from 2018-2020. In the four games, Sorokin allowed four goals just once compared to four of his first five games with former goalie coach Piero Greco. You may be able to buy low now before Sorokin really starts to stabilize his game.

Islanders' Bo Horvat: Now top-10 NHL goal scorer
Horvat scored two goals in a 4-3 shootout loss to Boston on Tuesday.
Horvat's nine goals this season put him on the NHL's top-10 snipers list. Yes, the top 10. Horvat has three 30-plus goal seasons, including a career-high 38 in 2022-23. His career mark in points (70) also came that regular season. Horvat has 15 points and 45 shots in 13 games this season -- that puts him on a career pace for goals (57), assists (95) and shots (283). Can he sustain it? Probably not, but he could still break his career mark, and there's plenty of value in that.

Islanders' Anders Lee: Assists on game-winner
Lee recorded an assist and put five shots on goal in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
With an apple on Simon Holmstrom's game-winning goal, Lee ended a three-game point drought to help send the Islanders home with their second consecutive win. Overall, the 35-year-old winger is up to seven assists, nine points, and 37 shots through 12 appearances this year. Lee has struggled to score goals this season with just one multi-goal game this year. However, his playmaking presence has been apparent as he leads the Islanders in assists. Once the shots he fires start to end up in the back of the net, Lee should have a case to be rostered in most fantasy leagues that value points. For now, he is a solid option that can consistently provide shots on goal.

Islanders' Bo Horvat: Helps out on power play
Horvat picked up a power-play assist and put two shots on net in Sunday's 3-2 win over Columbus.
Horvat played a hand in the career day for Matthew Schaefer as he assisted the young defenseman's first tally on a power play in the opening period. Overall, the 30-year-old Horvat has six assists, 13 points and 40 shots on net in 12 games this season. The Islanders' top-line center has at least one point in all but four of his appearances this year, putting him on the right track for a career-best season. Horvat has only reached the 70-point mark once, but with a plethora of solid goal-scoring options to join him on the top line at any point this season, he could reach that mark again.

Islanders' Simon Holmstrom: Steals win with late goal
Holmstrom scored a goal, put two shots on net and recorded a block in Sunday's 3-2 win over Columbus.
Holmstrom scored the game-winning goal with 38 seconds to go in regulation to break the 2-2 tie. With his late score, the 24-year-old winger has four goals, eight points and 13 shots on net in 12 games this season. Seven of Holmstrom's points have come in his last seven appearances as he continues to be an efficient source of offense for the Islanders. He's shooting 30.8 percent so far, making Holmstrom is worth streaming in fantasy formats that place an emphasis on points until that number eventually comes down.

Islanders' Matthew Schaefer: Lights lamp twice Sunday
Schaefer scored two goals, including one on a power play, in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
The No. 1 overall pick from the 2025 NHL Entry Draft continues to shine in his first season with the Islanders, as he scored with a man advantage in the first period before tying the game with just over a minute to go in regulation. With the pair of tallies, Schaefer is up to five goals, 10 points and 36 shots on net across 12 games this season. After experiencing a three-game point drought, Schaefer has three goals in as many games and is soaring up the point leaderboard for the Islanders. He remains firmly in the running to win this season's Calder Trophy alongside Montreal's Ivan Demidov and Jakub Dobes. Schaefer's offensive capabilities from the blue line give him a case to be rostered in nearly all fantasy formats.

Islanders' David Rittich: Third win in four tries
Rittich stopped 20 of 22 shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Rittich allowed just one goal inside the first 50 minutes of regulation before the Blue Jackets took a brief lead, which was then taken back by New York with two goals in the final two minutes. With the win, the 33-year-old goaltender has a 3-1-0 record with a 3.01 GAA and a .902 save percentage across four appearances. Sunday's start was his second appearance in three games, which is a stretch of action he hasn't seen yet this season. With starting goaltender Ilya Sorokin facing struggles in the early stages of this season, Rittich might get a few extra opportunities in the backup role to keep Sorokin fresh. With three wins to start the season, Rittich is a solid spot start in fantasy for the time being.

Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Will start Tuesday
Sorokin will get the start for Tuesday's game against the Bruins, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
Sorokin is backing up David Rittich against the Blue Jackets on Sunday, but Islanders head coach Patrick Roy volunteered that Sorokin would be the one between the pipes against the Bruins on Tuesday. The 30-year-old has not been his usual self so far this season, posting just a 3-4-1 record, a 3.40 GAA and an .877 save percentage. The Bruins have been off since Saturday's 2-1 win over the Hurricanes.

Islanders' David Rittich: Making third home start
Rittich will get the start in net for Sunday's game against the Blue Jackets, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
The Islanders have only had one back-to-back so far this season, so the team has had to be creative in finding ways to get Rittich work. He'll be starting for the fourth time this season Sunday. The 33-year-old will look to rebound from his worst start of the year, in which Rittich surrendered six goals on 34 shots against the Hurricanes. The Blue Jackets come in on a four-game winning streak.

Islanders' Maxim Shabanov: Not close to return
Shabanov (upper body) isn't close to returning to the lineup, according to Andrew Gross of Newsday on Sunday.
Shabanov has resumed skating, but he will miss his sixth straight game against Columbus on Sunday. It's still unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. Shabanov has contributed one goal, two assists, eight shots on net and five hits over six appearances this season.
