• Islanders' Matt Martin: Hands out helper in win

  15D ago • By RotoWire

  Martin notched an assist in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Senators. Martin has not been a regularly in the lineup since officially re-signing with the Islanders on Oct. 26. He's played in just three of seven games since his signing, with his helper Thursday being his first point. He's added two shots on net, six hits, three blocked shots and a minus-1 rating. Martin is mostly a physical presence on the ice and a leader in the locker room, but he'll have to compete with Hudson Fasching, Pierre Engvall and Oliver Wahlstrom for the last forward spots in the lineup.

• Matt Martin: Remains unsigned

  10/21/2024 • By RotoWire

  Martin -- who continues to skate with the Islanders on a PTO -- will not be signed by the team even after Anthony Duclair (leg) suffered a long-term injury, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports Monday. At this point, Martin will probably end up skating with the team all the way up to the trade deadline, which is the last point when a player can sign with a team and still be eligible for the postseason. Until he puts pen to paper on a full NHL contract, Martin will just be an extra body at practice and ineligible to play in a game.

• Islanders' Matt Martin: Set for MRI

  05/03/2024 • By RotoWire

  Martin (lower body) is expected to undergo an MRI in the coming days, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports Friday. Martin was sidelined for the final two postseason contests due to his lower-body issue. Unless the MRI results come back with something more serious, the team may not provide much of an update heading into the offseason. Even if there is a long-term concern that carries into the 2024-25 campaign, Martin's lack of offensive upside means a potential absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy players.
