The New York Islanders and the Arizona Coyotes take the ice in an out-of-conference matchupOCTOBER 17, 2023•ASSOCIATED PRESS
Logan Cooley - Snags assistCooley recorded a power-play assist in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Rangers.
ImpactCooley is up to three helpers through two contests, though all of his production has come with the man advantage so far. The 19-year-old center has added three shots on goal and two PIM while centering the second line. Cooley will likely continue to be involved on offense if he remains on the first power-play unit, but he'll need to get his even-strength play going to sustain his early pace.

Nick Schmaltz - Offers power-play assistSchmaltz logged a power-play assist in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Rangers.
ImpactSchmaltz set up Clayton Keller's second-period tally. Through two games, Schmaltz has picked up right where he left off last season, collecting three points, including two on the power play. He's added two shots on goal and a minus-1 rating. Playing on Keller's line and the first power-play unit should continue to give Schmaltz a path to solid fantasy value in formats that reward offense.

Chris Kreider - Bags fourth goal of seasonKreider scored a goal in Monday's 2-1 win against the Coyotes.
ImpactThe veteran opened the scoring at 14:11 of the first period, his fourth marker of the season, with helpers to Mika Zibanejad and Kaapo Kaako. Kreider ended up with a plus-1 and three shots on goal, while winning just one of his four faceoff opportunities. He has scored a goal in all three games to date, totaling four markers and five points, including two power-play goals. He'll look to extend his scoring streak Thursday against the Predators.

Vincent Trocheck - Posts game-winning goalTrocheck was credited with the game-winning goal in Monday's 2-1 win against the Coyotes.
ImpactTrocheck and the Rangers took advantage of a Matt Dumba cross-checking call, notching a power-play goal at 8:26 of the third period. That's all Igor Shesterkin needed, as the Blueshirts held on for the one-goal win. He finished with three shots on goal, a minor penalty and a hit in his 17:09 of ice time.

Jacob Trouba - Records plenty of PIMTrouba didn't score in Monday's 2-1 win against the Coyotes, but he logged 12 PIM.
ImpactThe veteran defenseman and irritant was good for a plus-1 rating, three shots on goal and three blocked shots. Trouba was also involved in a late-game fracas, picking up a roughing penalty and a game misconduct. For the 11th consecutive NHL season, Trouba is out of the running for the Lady Byng Trophy, though he should continue to be an effective source of hits, blocks and PIM in fantasy.

Igor Shesterkin - Shuts down visiting CoyotesShesterkin allowed just one goal on 27 shots in a 2-1 home win against the Coyotes.
ImpactShesterkin allowed a power-play goal in the second period to Clayton Keller, but he rebounded big-time in the third. Barclay Goodrow was called for holding Jason Zucker on a breakaway, and the referees awarded a penalty shot. Shesterkin shut that down, and didn't allow anything more than the Keller marker. Shesterkin and the Blueshirts are back in action Thursday against the visiting Predators.
