Pelech resumed skating in a non-contact sweater last Thursday, but he was wearing a regular jersey during Thursday's morning skate. While he'll remain sidelined for Thursday's home game against the Blackhawks, he's been trending in the right direction recently and appears to be closing in on a return to game action.

Islanders' Adam Pelech: Skating in non-contact jersey
Pelech (jaw) took the ice for the first time Thursday while wearing a non-contact sweater, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
Pelech looks to be making strides in his recovery but won't be available to return to the lineup until he is cleared for contact. At that point, fantasy players can probably start considering him day-to-day. In the meantime, Isaiah George should continue to see big minutes for the Islanders while playing alongside Noah Dobson.

Islanders' Adam Pelech: Lands on IR
Pelech (jaw) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.
After taking a puck to the face Friday against Buffalo, Pelech will be sidelined for 4-6 weeks, per Andrew Gross of Newsday, due to a jaw injury. The 30-year-old Pelech has four assists and a minus-3 rating through 11 contests this season. Dennis Cholowski figures to rejoin the lineup in Pelech's absence.

Islanders' Adam Pelech: Takes puck to face
Pelech didn't return to Friday's game against the Sabres after taking a puck to the face in the second period, Ethan Sears of the New York Post reports.
There was no update on Pelech's status after the contest, leaving him questionable for Sunday's game against the Rangers. With Mike Reilly (upper body) also exiting Friday's contest, the Islanders may need to call up a defenseman if neither injured blueliner is able to suit up.

Islanders' Adam Pelech: Produces assist
Pelech logged an assist, three shots on goal and three hits in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Devils.
Pelech is up to four helpers through seven contests, a surprisingly fruitful start to the year for the shutdown blueliner. He's added 11 shots on net, 14 hits, seven blocked shots and a minus-1 rating. Pelech typically plays in a second-pairing role, but he doesn't have a clear path to power-play time, so it's unlikely he's able to continue producing a point roughly every other game.

Islanders' Adam Pelech: Generates helper in win
Pelech notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Monday's 6-2 win over the Avalanche.
Pelech's first point of the year was a secondary helper on Brock Nelson's game-winning goal in the second period. Through three games, Pelech has added five shots on net, five hits and two blocked shots. The 30-year-old defenseman is seeing top-four minutes for the Islanders, but he has minimal power-play time. He's topped the 20-point mark in two of the previous three campaigns and can chip in 100-plus blocks, giving him some fantasy value in deep formats.

Islanders' Adam Pelech: Grabs two assists
Pelech notched a pair of assists in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over Montreal.
Pelelch set up Pierre Engvall in the second period before adding a second helper on Casey Cizikas' game-tying marker in the third. The 29-year-old Pelech had gone six games without a point prior to Thursday, logging just two assists in his last 16 contests. The blueliner is up to 16 points (one goal, 15 assists) through 55 games this season.

Pelech notched an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Sharks.
Pelech has four helpers and a plus-6 rating over his last four games. The defenseman stayed warm by helping out on a Kyle MacLean tally in the second period. Pelech is up to 12 points, 44 shots on net, 67 blocked shots, 39 hits and a plus-1 rating through 38 outings this season. He should continue to see top-four minutes as a steady defensive presence with modest offensive upside.

Islanders' Adam Pelech: Tallies two assists
Pelech recorded two assists and one hit in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Blues.
With 23:43 of ice time, Pelech played the second most minutes for the Islanders and provided two assists to help the team win its fourth consecutive game. In his past eight games, the 29-year old first-pairing defenseman has one goal, five assists, 16 blocked shots, 10 shots on goal and 10 hits. Pelech is limited in his point production -- he only has 11 points in 37 games played -- but he's a solid option for leagues that value blocked shots.

Islanders' Adam Pelech: Two points including OT winner
Pelech scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime victory over the Penguins.
The veteran blueliner delivered only the second game-winning goal of his career, cruising into the Pittsburgh end and ripping a shot blocker side past Alex Nedeljkovic. It was Pelech's first goal of 2023-24 and his second multi-point performance of the season, with the other coming Nov. 22 against the Flyers. He has just eight points in 31 games, but five of those points have come in his last eight contests.

Islanders' Adam Pelech: Nabs helper
Pelech notched an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Lightning.
Pelech helped out on Bo Horvat's insurance marker in the second period. All five of Pelech's points this season are assists, and two of them have come over his last four outings. The 29-year-old defenseman has added 29 shots on net, 24 hits, 46 blocked shots, 17 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 27 outings. His lack of offense likely keeps him off the radar in most fantasy formats.

Pelech (upper body) is expected to suit up Monday against Toronto, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Islanders' Adam Pelech: Game-time call Monday
Pelech (upper body) will be a game-time decision against the Leafs on Monday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
Pelech looks poised to return versus Toronto after practicing with the team but coach Patrick Roy wouldn't go so far as to confirm the blueliner was ready to suit up. Injuries have limited the 29-year-old Pelech to 25 outings this season in which he recorded four points (all assists), 19 hits and 42 blocked shots. At this point, Pelech will be hard-pressed to reach the 20-point threshold, a mark he hit in each of the previous two seasons.

Islanders' Adam Pelech: Not close to returning
Pelech (upper body) will be eligible to be activated from long-term injured reserve Tuesday, but according to coach Lane Lambert, "it's still going to be a while" until the defenseman will be ready to play, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
Pelech had only collected three helpers through 16 games before suffering the upper-body injury, so fantasy managers shouldn't feel compelled to track his status. Once activated, the 29-year-old blueliner will likely slot into a top-four role for the Islanders.
