Mathew Barzal - Stays hot with power-play markerBarzal scored a goal on four shots in Wednesday's 4-3 victory over the Ducks.

ImpactBarzal's power-play goal tied the game 3-3 in the third period en route to a one-goal Islanders victory. Barzal's been on a tear lately, tallying points in four straight games and 15 (six goals, nine assists) in his last nine contests. Overall, he's up to 10 goals and 30 points through 27 games this season.

Casey Cizikas - Finds scoresheet in winCizikas tallied a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 4-3 win over Anaheim.

ImpactCizikas extended the Islanders' lead to 2-0 in the second period, corralling a cross-ice feed from Cal Clutterbuck before burying a wrist shot. The 32-year-old Cizikas now has goals in back-to-back games and three points in his last four contests. While his recent scoring production has been a nice boost, the veteran center is expected to provide much offense on the fourth line. Cizikas is up to five goals and 10 points through 28 games this season. He's also added 44 hits and 29 blocked shots.

Brett Leason - Adds apple in lossLeason notched an assist and two hits in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Islanders.

ImpactLeason helped out on Adam Henrique's second-period marker. The 24-year-old Leason has been trusted with more ice time lately, playing no less than 12:43 in any of his last six outings. He's at seven points, 32 shots on net, 29 hits, 13 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through 24 outings overall. With no clear path to a power-play role, Leason's still not doing enough to be considered in most fantasy formats.

Urho Vaakanainen - Manages helper WednesdayVaakanainen recorded an assist and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Islanders.

ImpactVaakanainen set up an Adam Henrique tally in the second period. Playing time has once again become erratic for Vaakanainen, who has played in just three of the Ducks' last six games, and he's only seeing third-pairing usage when in the lineup. He's produced five assists, 22 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 21 appearances this season. The 24-year-old will compete with Robert Hagg in the short term and could be negatively impacted when Jamie Drysdale (lower body) returns.

Pavel Mintyukov - Records helper with man advantageMintyukov notched a power-play assist and went minus-2 in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Islanders.

ImpactMintyukov's scoring pace has slowed recently -- he has four assists over his last 10 contests. The 20-year-old is still seeing regular ice time in a top-four role as well as on the first power-play unit. Mintyukov has a goal, 13 helpers, five power-play points, 46 shots on net, 39 hits, 29 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating through 28 appearances. He may have some ups and downs as a rookie, but he's still producing enough to be worth rostering in deeper formats.
