Islanders' Scott Mayfield: Pots goal in win
Rotowire
Mayfield scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
Mayfield gave the Islanders their first lead of the game just 14 ticks into the second period. The 32-year-old defenseman has taken on a massive role in November with the Islanders missing three of their regulars on the blue line, though it's mostly a defensive assignment. He's up to three points, 13 shots on net, 30 hits, 26 blocked shots, 15 PIM and a plus-7 rating through 17 contests and should see top-four minutes at least until Alexander Romanov (upper body) returns.

Islanders' Scott Mayfield: Productive in win
Rotowire
Mayfield logged an assist, three blocked shots, two shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Monday's 6-2 win over the Avalanche.
Mayfield picked up his first point of the campaign when he earned a secondary helper on Anders Lee's first-period tally. Through three games, Mayfield has added five shots on net, five blocks and a plus-4 rating. He's a reliable third-pairing defenseman, but the 32-year-old is purely a shutdown option, so he's unlikely to score enough for fantasy purposes.

Islanders' Scott Mayfield: Expects to be ready for 2024-25
Rotowire
Mayfield, who suffered a fractured ankle in the 2023-24 season opener, should be ready for the 2024-25 campaign, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports Friday.

Islanders' Scott Mayfield: Season officially over
Rotowire
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.

Islanders' Scott Mayfield: Expected to miss 4-6 weeks
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.
