Top Islanders News

  • Islanders' Travis Mitchell: Heading back to AHL

    Mitchell was returned to AHL Bridgeport on Wednesday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

    Mitchell was recalled by the Islanders last Wednesday but didn't make his NHL debut during his week with the big club. He'll head back to the minors, where he's tallied a goal and three points over eight appearances with Bridgeport to begin the year.

  • Islanders' Dennis Cholowski: Picks up helper

    Cholowski provided an assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Flames.

    This was Cholowski's second game in a row with an assist. He's earned three points over his last five outings and has a total of two goals and two helpers through 11 appearances. The 26-year-old has added seven shots on net, 10 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating while seeing limited usage on the third pairing. It looks like Cholowski has gained the edge over Grant Hutton and Travis Mitchell for playing time even with Alexander Romanov back in the lineup.

  • Islanders' Scott Mayfield: Contributes helper Tuesday

    Mayfield logged an assist, two hits, two blocked shots and two PIM in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Flames.

    Mayfield has collected three points and a plus-7 rating over his last six games. The defenseman is up to one goal, three assists, a plus-8 rating, 16 shots on net, 17 PIM, 29 blocked shots and 33 hits through 19 outings overall. Mayfield saw just 17:02 of ice time Tuesday since Alexander Romanov returned to the lineup in a top-four role -- this was Mayfield's first game under the 20-minute mark since the start of November.

  • Islanders' Pierre Engvall: Goals in three straight games

    Engvall scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Flames.

    Engvall opened the scoring at 1:32 of the second period. The winger has scored in three straight games, a span that accounts for all of his goals this season. He's added two assists, 25 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through 11 appearances. Engvall is gaining confidence as he continues to hold onto a third-line assignment.

  • Islanders' Semyon Varlamov: Strong in shootout loss

    Varlamov surrendered one goal on 31 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Flames.

    Varlamov couldn't win a third straight start, but he has given up no more than two goals in his last four outings. The 36-year-old was bested by Rasmus Andersson on a power-play tally in the third period, and the Flames also converted two of their three shootout attempts. Varlamov is down to a 3-3-2 record with a 2.60 GAA and a .903 save percentage over eight starts. He continues to back up Ilya Sorokin, but Varlamov has gotten a start roughly once a week -- that's enough action to be worth a look in fantasy. The Islanders' five-game road trip ends Thursday in a matchup with the Red Wings.

  • Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Ready to return

    Romanov (upper body) will play against Calgary on Tuesday, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.

    Romanov has made only one appearance in the Islanders' last 11 games and missed seven straight outings. However, he will return to the top pairing versus the Flames. Romanov has two assists, 10 shots on goal, 21 blocked shots and 16 hits in eight games this season. He will replace Grant Hutton in Tuesday's lineup.

  • Islanders' Semyon Varlamov: Confirmed starter on the road

    Varlamov will guard the road crease versus the Flames on Tuesday, Andrew Gross of Newsday relays.

    Varlamov will attempt to pick up his third straight win against a Calgary club that's scoring 2.67 goals per game through 18 outings. The 36-year-old made 24 saves on 26 shots in a 5-2 win over Vancouver in his last start Nov. 14. The Russian netminder has posted a 3-3-1 record, .892 save percentage and 2.86 GAA through seven appearances.

  • Islanders' Mike Reilly: Set to undergo heart procedure

    Reilly will undergo a procedure on his heart Tuesday and will be sidelined indefinitely.

    Reilly had been dealing with a concussion recently, and even though he's been cleared from that issue, he'll miss time due to his heart condition. The condition was discovered when he underwent routine testing as part of his concussion recovery. General manager Lou Lamoriello said Monday that Reilly's recovery process from his procedure could take several months, but the defenseman is expected to be able to play again at some point.

  • Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Game-time call Tuesday

    Romanov (upper body) will be a game-time decision versus the Flames on Tuesday.

    Romanov hasn't played since Nov. 1 versus Buffalo, a stretch of seven games on the shelf due to his upper-body injury. With Mike Reilly (chest) out indefinitely and Adam Pelech (jaw) yet to resume skating, the Islanders would certainly benefit from getting the 24-year-old Romanov back into the lineup.

  • Islanders' Pierre Engvall: Scores again Saturday

    Engvall scored a goal in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Kraken.

    Engvall has tallied in back-to-back games and looks to be strengthening his spot in the Islanders' lineup. The winger saw just 12:37 of ice time Saturday, but it was his eighth game in a row in the lineup. Overall, he has four points, 22 shots on net, six PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 10 appearances.

  • Islanders' Brock Nelson: Tallies shorthanded in loss

    Nelson scored a shorthanded goal on four shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Kraken.

    Nelson gave the Islanders a 2-1 lead in the third period, but it lasted just 37 seconds. The veteran center has three goals and an assist over his last seven contests. For the season, he's produced seven tallies, three helpers, 56 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over 18 appearances. Nelson has some value as a depth scorer in fantasy while seeing consistent second-line minutes.

  • Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Win slips away Saturday

    Sorokin made 24 saves in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Kraken.

    The Isles held the lead early in the third period but Sorokin couldn't make it stick, giving up two goals in the final frame. The 29-year-old netminder has allowed at least three goals in six straight starts to begin the month of November, going 2-2-2 with a 3.43 GAA and .900 save percentage.

  • Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Not available Saturday

    Romanov (upper body) will not be in the lineup in Seattle on Saturday, according to Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

    Romanov will sit out his seventh consecutive game. The defenseman has yet to practice with full contact since he last played Nov. 1. Romanov has two assists, 16 hits and 21 blocked shots in eight games in 2024-25.

  • Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Slated starter for Saturday

    Sorokin is expected to start on the road against Seattle on Saturday, per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

    Sorokin will attempt to rebound after allowing at least three goals in each of his past five starts. He's 4-3-3 with a 2.66 GAA and a .915 save percentage over 10 appearances in 2024-25. The Kraken have been a middling squad in 2024-25, posting an 8-8-1 record while being tied for 17th offensively with 3.00 goals per game.
