Impact Czarnik has played just four games this season, and he has yet to post a point. The 28-year-old will continue to add depth at forward but will only occasionally enter the lineup.

Play has slipped of late Pelech has a rating of minus-1 in three straight games for the Islanders.
Impact Pelech has been one of the most consistent defenders for the Islanders all season but seems to be suddenly struggling. Pelech has only had a negative rating in eight games this season, and only once has hit happened in consecutive games before this current streak. This is probably just a blip on the radar for Pelech as the season grinds along. Still, the Islanders will need him to find his defensive game sooner rather than later, especially with Alexander Ovechkin and the Capitals as the next team on the Islanders' schedule.

Supplies only offense in loss Martin scored a power-play goal in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Penguins
Impact The veteran grinder got inserted on the Isles' top power-play unit Saturday as a physical net-front presence, and the move paid off one game later as Martin tipped home a Mathew Barzel pass while camped out on Casey DeSmith's doorstep. It's only the second power-play goal of Martin's career, and on the season the 32-year-old has just six goals and 10 points through 36 games.

Little support in loss Varlamov stopped 20 shots in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Penguins.
Impact Pittsburgh scored twice in the first period, and while Varlamov shut the Pens down the rest of the way, the Isles couldn't find enough offense to rally. Varlamov has lost three of his last four starts, but on the season he still carries an outstanding 2.19 GAA and .922 save percentage.

Back on active roster Wahlstrom was promoted from the taxi squad for Monday's tilt with Pittsburgh, CapFriendly reports.

Inserted into the lineup Johnston is playing versus the Penguins on Monday, Arthur Staple of Newsday reports.
Impact Johnson had been a healthy inactive since Jan. 26 as the Islanders didn't feel like they needed his level of toughness. Unfortunately, Johnston took a penalty on his first shift, and the Penguins scored on the ensuing power play. If that goal ends up costing the Islanders the game, this may be the last game Johnston plays for another two months.

Taking on Penguins Varlamov will guard the road goal in Monday's game versus the Penguins, Josh Getzoff of PensTV reports.
Impact Varlamov entered Saturday's loss to the Penguins in relief of Ilya Sorokin, and he allowed one goal on 11 shots. The 32-year-old Varlamov had a couple of rocky games in March, but ultimately, he's recorded a .918 save percentage and a 5-2-0 record this month. Meanwhile, the Penguins have won three straight games, and they're expected to get Jason Zucker (lower body) back in the fold Monday.

Shuffled to taxi squad Bellows was demoted to the taxi squad Sunday, according to CapFriendly.
Impact Bellows has regularly bounced between the lineup and the press box throughout the season. The 22-year-old has three goals in 13 games and could be recalled for Monday's game in Pittsburgh.

Bounced to taxi squad Wahlstrom was sent to the taxi squad Sunday, CapFriendly reports.

Needs to find consistency Bellows has struggled with consistency this season for the Islanders, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
Impact Coach Barry Trotz stated that Bellows was able to bring energy and do the "grunt work" that helped the team in the first two games that he played but was able to sustain it the last two games. These are curious statements by Trotz as Bellows' name has come up in trade rumors, and those comments certainly won't raise his value. Bellows is likely to get another shot in the lineup Monday in Pittsburgh as Michael Dal Colle is expected to miss another game with a lower-body injury.

Impact Varlamov relieved starter Ilya Sorokin 6:18 into the second period with the Islanders already behind 4-0. He gave up a Bryan Rust goal just over two minutes later but settled in the rest of the way. The 32-year-old boasts a sterling 2.19 GAA and .922 save percentage in 24 games this season.

Overwhelmed by Penguins Sorokin allowed four goals on just nine shots before being pulled in the second period of Saturday's 6-3 loss to Pittsburgh.
Impact Sorokin's eight-game winning streak came to a crashing halt, with Bryan Rust's power-play tally 6:18 into the second period chasing the first-year netminder to the bench. It was the first time Sorokin gave up more than three goals in a game since Jan. 31, which also happened to be the last time he suffered a defeat. The 25-year-old dropped to 8-3-1 on the year with a 2.24 GAA and .911 save percentage.

Provides late tally Eberle scored a goal on five shots in a 6-3 loss to the Penguins on Saturday.
Impact Eberle drew the Islanders to within 5-3 when he sniped a shot from the right circle with 2:27 left in the third period. It was the 11th goal of the season for Eberle, one off the team lead, but just his second in the last 12 contests.

Scores in fourth straight Beauvillier collected a goal on two shots Saturday in a 6-3 loss to the Penguins.
Impact Beauvillier lit the lamp for the fourth consecutive game, cleaning up a Mathew Barzal rebound to pull the Islanders to within 5-2 in the third period. The 23-year-old Beauvillier totaled 57 goals over the previous seasons and appears to finally be heating up, so fantasy owners should take a quick peek at their waiver wire and scoop him up if available.
