Islanders' Liam Foudy: Nets pair for Bridgeport
Foudy scored twice in AHL Bridgeport's 4-3 shootout loss to Providence on Saturday.
Foudy is surging with seven goals and two assists during a seven-game point streak. That puts him at 13 goals and 21 points in 28 appearances this season. Eight of those goals have come in January, but it's unclear if his recent success will lead to a call-up.

Islanders' David Rittich: No help from his teammates
Rittich made 16 saves Saturday in a 5-0 loss to the Sabres. He allowed four goals.
Rittich kept the game close through two periods -- the score was just 2-0 heading into the third period, but he was hung out to dry by his teammates on the second goal at 19:47 of the middle frame. Rittich is back to his role as backup to Ilya Sorokin, which means he's playing every third or fourth game. He's lost his past three games, and he's allowed four goals in each of his last two games.

Islanders' Danny Nelson: Goal, assist in Notre Dame win
Nelson scored a goal and added an assist in the University of Notre Dame's 6-1 win over Ohio State University on Saturday.
Nelson is up to eight goals and eight assists over 23 outings this season. The junior forward is 10 points back of matching his total from 36 contests a year ago. Notre Dame has been awful in 2025-26 -- this was the team's fifth win of the year -- so it's no surprise Nelson has struggled to grow his scoring numbers.

Islanders' David Rittich: Facing Sabres
Rittich will defend the home cage versus Buffalo on Saturday, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.
Due to a healthy Ilya Sorokin, Rittich has made only one appearance in the last six games. Rittich is 11-6-3 with a pair of shutouts, a 2.49 GAA and a .905 save percentage over 20 outings this season. Buffalo ranks 10th in the NHL during the 2025-26 campaign with 3.28 goals per game.

Islanders' Ryan Pulock: Unavailable Saturday
Pulock (upper body) has been ruled out of Saturday's tilt versus Buffalo, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
Pulock left Wednesday's game versus the Kraken in the third period and did not return. He has two goals, 21 points and 93 blocked shots in 50 appearances this season. The Islanders recalled Isaiah George from AHL Bridgeport on Saturday, and he will take Pulock's place in the lineup.

Islanders' Isaiah George: Recalled from Bridgeport
George was summoned from AHL Bridgeport on Saturday.
George had two goals and 10 points in 24 AHL games before his recall. George has spent the entire season with Bridgeport after playing 33 regular-season games with the Islanders in 2024-25, scoring once and adding four assists with the big club. The Islanders sent Cole McWard to the minors in a corresponding move Saturday. George could suit up Saturday in Buffalo, as the Islanders are down to five healthy defensemen, with Ryan Pulock day-to-day with an upper-body injury.

Islanders' Cole McWard: Returned to AHL
McWard was reassigned to AHL Bridgeport on Saturday.
McWard played three games for the Islanders and was unable to hit the scoresheet. McWard was a healthy scratch in the Islanders' last six games. The Islanders recalled Isaiah George in a corresponding move.

Islanders' Cole Eiserman: Two goals in loss
Eiserman scored twice in Boston University's 4-3 loss to Providence College on Friday.
Eiserman put in a good effort despite the loss. He's up to 10 goals and 15 points over 20 outings this season, a pace lower than last year when he had 36 points in 39 contests. Eiserman also produced two goals and an assist in five games for Team USA at the World Junior Championship.

Islanders' Bo Horvat: Expected back Saturday
Horvat (lower body) is slated to play in Saturday's clash with Buffalo, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
Horvat looks poised to return to his first-line center role in addition to linking up with the No. 1 power-play unit. Injuries have derailed Horvat's season, as he has featured in just four of the Isles' last 18 contests. When healthy, the veteran has produced at a fantastic rate, generating 21 goals and 12 assists in 36 contests, including 12 power-play points.

Islanders' Ryan Pulock: Day-to-day
Pulock (upper body) is day-to-day and questionable for Saturday's clash versus Buffalo, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
Pulock left Wednesday's game versus Seattle with 4:39 left in the third period and did not return. The blueliner has two goals, 19 assists, 93 blocked shots, 34 hits and 62 shots on goal in 50 games this season.

Islanders' Anthony Duclair: Tallies on power play in loss
Duclair scored a power-play goal, added two PIM and went minus-3 in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Kraken.
Duclair's barrage of goals continues -- he has five of them over the last five games, accounting for nearly half of the Islanders' 12 goals in that span. The 30-year-old got the scoring started 2:38 into the game, but it was all Kraken after that. Duclair is up to 12 goals, 23 points, 62 shots on net, 29 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 47 appearances. He's worth rostering in fantasy as long as his offense is hot.

Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Takes loss in Seattle
Sorokin stopped 21 of 24 shots in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Kraken. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
The Islanders scored first, but they only scored once, giving Sorokin insufficient support. The 30-year-old netminder has won four of his last six outings, but he's given up at least three goals in four of those games. He's now at a 16-12-2 record with a 2.51 GAA and a .914 save percentage over 30 starts. He still has a heavy workload, which fantasy managers could be satisfied with, but the results have been inconsistent lately. The Islanders' next game is at home Saturday versus the Sabres.

Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Exits ice first
Sorokin was the first goalie to leave the ice Wednesday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports, indicating he'll be between the pipes on the road versus Seattle.
Sorokin has appeared in five of the Isles' last seven contests, going 4-1-0 with a 2.22 GAA and one shutout. With 16 wins in his 29 outings this year, the 30-year-old netminder should be a lock to reach the 20-win mark and could push for 30 for the third time in the last four years.

Islanders' Mathew Barzal: Provides two assists in win
Barzal logged two assists, including one on the power play, in Monday's 4-3 win over the Canucks.
Barzal has gone six games without a goal but has still put up five assists in that span. The 28-year-old hasn't had a multi-game point drought since late December, providing steady offense in a top-line role. He's up to 11 goals, 29 helpers, 11 power-play points, 106 shots on net, 41 PIM, 31 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating over 48 contests.

Islanders' Ryan Pulock: Scores in Monday's win
Pulock scored a goal on two shots, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Monday's 4-3 win over the Canucks.
Pulock tallied at 15:58 of the second period to give the Islanders their first lead of the game. The defenseman has a goal and four points through nine outings in January while continuing to play in a top-four role. Overall, he's at two goals, 21 points, 61 shots on net, 92 blocked shots, 34 hits and a plus-9 rating through 49 appearances. Pulock is on track to reach the 30-point mark for the first time since 2019-20.

Islanders' Tony DeAngelo: Scores, assists Monday
DeAngelo recorded a goal, an assist, three shots, two hits and two blocked shots in Monday's 4-3 win over the Canucks.
DeAngelo continues to produce despite being a blueliner, and this was the third time he's recorded a multi-point performance over his last seven contests. The 30-year-old defenseman has picked things up of late after a slow start to the campaign and is up to 21 points (three goals, 18 assists) in 49 games this season. He could be within reach of the 40-point plateau if he's able to sustain this production in the coming weeks.
