Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: First goalie off Thursday
Sorokin was the first goalie off during Thursday's morning skate, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against the Avalanche.
Sorokin was in the starter's crease during morning skate, so it isn't very particularly surprising to see him draw the start against Colorado. He put an end to a three-game losing streak Tuesday against the Lightning, turning aside 30 of 31 shots (.968 save percentage) in a 2-1 victory. He started on the road against Colorado on Nov. 16, and he allowed three goals on 27 shots (.889 save percentage) en route to a 4-1 loss.

Islanders' Adam Pelech: Steady defense, no offense
Pelech's point drought reached 16 games in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Lightning.
During that slump, Pelech has a plus-4 rating and 27 blocked shots. The 31-year-old has been entrusted with top-four minutes this season, but he's leaning even more into a shutdown role than in previous years. He's at two assists, 40 shots on net, 42 blocked shots, 14 hits and a plus-7 rating across 27 appearances this season.

Islanders' Anthony Duclair: Snaps 14-game goal drought
Duclair scored a goal Tuesday in a 2-1 win over Tampa Bay.
It stood as the game-winning marker. Early in the third, Duclair poked the puck away from Pontus Holmberg to teammate Calum Ritchie, who quickly whipped it back to the winger. Duclair one-timed it from the edge of the left circle and beat Andrei Vasilevskiy blocker side. It was Duclair's first goal since Nov. 4 (14 games; four assists). The 30-year-old Duclair has just four goals and five assists in 27 games this season, and he needs to be left on the wire. His opportunity to step into a scoring role on the Island simply hasn't worked.

Islanders' Bo Horvat: Among NHL's top snipers right now
Horvat scored a goal in a 2-1 win over the Lightning on Tuesday.
Horvat opened the scoring just 55 seconds into the second frame when he followed his own shot and stuffed in the rebound. It was his 16th goal of the season, which moved him into a tie for fifth in the NHL. Horvat now has a goal in each of his last two games (seven shots). He's flirting with a 50-goal pace, which would obliterate his career mark of 38 that he set in the 2022-23 regular season between Vancouver and Long Island.

Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Spectacular in win over Tampa
Sorokin made 27 saves in a 2-1 win over the Lightning on Tuesday.
Sorokin carried a shutout to the 16:26 mark of the third period when Dominic James curled out from below the goal line and banked a wrist shot off his glove. Sorokin was spectacular at times, including a filthy left pad save on an Anthony Cirelli backhand in the second period after the Bolts pivot got behind the Isles D. The 30-year-old Sorokin ended Tampa's seven-game winning streak and snapped his own three-game losing streak in the process.

Islanders' Tony DeAngelo: Poised to play
DeAngelo (illness) is expected to play against Tampa Bay on Tuesday, according to Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.
DeAngelo won't miss any playing time after being called a game-time decision. He has one goal, eight assists, 45 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and 12 hits in 26 appearances this season.

Islanders' Cole Eiserman: Gets weekly award
Eiserman was named one of Hockey East's Co-Players of the Week on Tuesday.
Eiserman got the honor for his game-winning goal and assist for Boston University in a 2-1 win over Cornell University on Saturday. Through 11 games this season, Eiserman has seven goals and three assists, as well as a minus-4 rating. The 19-year-old winger is producing at roughly the same pace as last year, which is mildly discouraging considering his goal-scoring talent and added experience. Nonetheless, he's still a key part of the Terriers' offense this season.

Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Leaves ice first
Sorokin was the first goalie to exit the ice Tuesday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports, indicating that he'll tend the twine at home versus Tampa.
Sorokin is mired in a three-game losing streak despite posting a 2.47 GAA and an .868 save percentage along the way. While the netminder is sporting a GAA better than his last two campaigns, he has struggled to pick up wins, recording just seven victories in 17 outings.

Islanders' Tony DeAngelo: Game-time call Tuesday
DeAngelo is dealing with an illness and will be a game-time decision versus the Lightning on Tuesday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
DeAngelo has managed just one point in his last seven contests while also being stuck in a 19-game goal drought. Despite averaging 1:52 of ice time with the man advantage, the veteran defenseman has yet to register a power-play point this year. If DeAngelo misses out, Adam Boqvist figures to slot into the lineup against the Lightning.

Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Allows two goals Sunday
Sorokin stopped 14 of 16 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Capitals. The last two goals were empty-netters.
Sorokin was beaten twice by Tom Wilson, once in the first period and again in the second. The Islanders pulled one back in the third, but Washington took advantage after Sorokin left for an extra attacker, scoring two late goals. Sorokin has lost in his last three starts, giving up seven goals on 52 shots in that stretch.

Islanders' Bo Horvat: Nets PP goal Sunday
Horvat scored a power-play goal in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Capitals.
Horvat found the back of the net with a snap shot at the 13:43 mark of the third period, but Washington scored two empty-net goals in the final 80 seconds to put the game out of reach. Horvat snapped a four-game point drought with that goal. He posted 14 points (eight goals, six assists) in 15 games in November.

Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Sunday starter
Sorokin will start Sunday's matinee contest with the Capitals, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
Sorokin has lost back-to-back starts but didn't get much goal support in either contest, as the Islanders scored only one goal both times. The 30-year-old has allowed three goals or fewer in each of his last nine starts. He'll take a 7-7-2 record, 2.70 GAA and .901 save percentage into a battle with a Capitals team that he held to just one goal on 23 shots on Halloween.

Islanders' Kyle Palmieri: Moves to IR
Palmieri (knee) was placed on injured reserve Sunday.
The Islanders announced Saturday that Palmieri would undergo season-ending knee surgery. The 34-year-old forward is looking at a 6-8 month recovery after getting injured in Friday's 4-3 shootout loss to Philadelphia. The Islanders called up Marc Gatcomb from AHL Bridgeport on Sunday in a corresponding move.

Islanders' Marc Gatcomb: Returns to NHL
Gatcomb has been recalled by the Islanders, the team announced Sunday.
Gatcomb was on the NHL roster to start the season, but he was placed on waivers in late October and has been in the AHL with Bridgeport since. An injury to Kyle Palmieri (knee) has created an opening at the NHL level, and Gatcomb will fill that roster spot. The 26-year-old Gatcomb has eight points (four goals, four assists) in 15 AHL games. It remains to be seen whether he will draw into the lineup right away or serve as the 13th forward for now.

Islanders' Emil Heineman: Matches last year's goal total
Heineman scored a goal on four shots and added three hits in Friday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Flyers.
Heineman snapped a three-game slide with the tally, which set the Islanders on the comeback trail. Prior to that short slump, the winger had gotten on the scoresheet in eight of the previous nine contests. With his 10th goal of the season, the 24-year-old has matched his total from 2024-25. He's at 16 points -- two shy of his output from 62 regular-season outings last year -- while adding 50 shots on net, 89 hits and a plus-4 rating over 25 appearances.
