NEW YORK ISLANDERS NEWS

Ilya Sorokin - Slated starter for Saturday Sorokin is expected to start on the road against Seattle on Saturday, per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

Impact 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 in 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.

Oliver Wahlstrom - Hands out helper Wahlstrom recorded a power-play assist, three shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

Impact Wahlstrom has earned two points over his last four outings, accounting for all of his offense this season. It's been enough to keep him in the lineup for seven straight games as he fends off a playing-time challenge from Hudson Fasching. Wahlstrom has added 13 shots on net, seven PIM and a minus-5 rating over 13 appearances this season. Fantasy managers can look elsewhere for depth scoring since he is averaging just 9:45 of ice time per game.

Simon Holmstrom - Delivers helper in win Holmstrom notched an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

Impact Holmstrom set up Pierre Engvall's goal in the second period, which stood as the game-winner. November has treated Holmstrom well, especially compared to his quiet October. He has two goals and four assists over seven outings this month, putting the winger at a total of eight points, 16 shots on net and a minus-2 rating through 17 contests this season.

Kyle Palmieri - Slides helper in win Palmieri recorded an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

Impact Palmieri continued his excellent November with a modest contribution, a secondary helper on Noah Dobson's first goal of the year. Through seven games this month, Palmieri has three goals and five helpers. The winger is up to 15 points, 44 shots on net, 12 hits and a plus-4 rating over 17 appearances. The 33-year-old is playing a key role on offense and should be considered in most fantasy formats for his scoring alone.

Grant Hutton - Earns first two assists Hutton notched two assists and went plus-3 in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

Impact Hutton helped out on goals by Pierre Engvall and Noah Dobson. The 29-year-old Hutton hadn't earned an assist at the NHL level prior to Thursday -- his first NHL point was a goal in the 2021-22 campaign. The defenseman continues to fill in on a short-staffed Islanders blue line, which is missing three regulars and likely won't be at full strength until mid-to-late December at the earliest. In addition to his two assists, Hutton has six shots on net, seven hits and nine blocked shots over six appearances in a third-pairing role.

Bo Horvat - Collects pair of helpers Horvat notched two assists and two shots on goal in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

Impact Horvat continues to be a boom-or-bust player in November -- this was his fourth multi-point effort of the month to go with three scoreless outings. He set up tallies by Scott Mayfield and Anders Lee in this contest. Horvat is up to five goals, nine helpers, 51 shots on net, 19 hits and a plus-1 rating through 17 appearances. He continues to be a focal point on offense as the top-line center, and he's producing enough to be in fantasy lineups most of the time.

Scott Mayfield - Pots goal in win Mayfield scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

Impact Mayfield gave the Islanders their first lead of the game just 14 ticks into the second period. The 32-year-old defenseman has taken on a massive role in November with the Islanders missing three of their regulars on the blue line, though it's mostly a defensive assignment. He's up to three points, 13 shots on net, 30 hits, 26 blocked shots, 15 PIM and a plus-7 rating through 17 contests and should see top-four minutes at least until Alexander Romanov (upper body) returns.

Pierre Engvall - Nets goal Thursday Engvall scored a goal on a team-high five shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

Impact Engvall played well in a third-line role, and his tally at 2:10 of the second period was the game-winner. That was the first goal of the season for the 28-year-old winger. He has three points, 20 shots on net, six PIM and four hits over nine outings. Engvall is holding onto a bottom-six spot in the lineup, though he's unlikely to score enough to draw much fantasy interest.

Noah Dobson - Puts away empty-netter Dobson scored an empty-net goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

Impact Dobson ended a seven-game slump with the empty-netter, which was his first goal of the season. The 24-year-old defenseman has at least 10 goals in each of the last three campaigns, but it's been a disappointing start to 2024-25 for him. He's at seven points, 53 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 17 appearances, well short of the pace that saw him rack up 70 points in 79 regular-season contests last year.

Jean-Gabriel Pageau - Tallies on power play Pageau scored a power-play goal on two shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

Impact Pageau is up to four goals and two assists over seven contests in November. The 32-year-old tied the game at 1-1 with his tally Thursday. He's earned nine points (two on the power play) with 33 shots on net, 37 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 17 outings this season, though Pageau continue to find success in a top-line role while covering for Mathew Barzal (upper body).

6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Anders Lee - Earns two more points in win Lee scored a goal on three shots and added a power-play assist in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

Impact This was Lee's third multi-point effort in the last four games. All four of his multi-point efforts this season have come away from UBS Arena. The 34-year-old winger is up to seven goals, six assists, 58 shots on net, 23 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 17 contests. As long as Lee's on the top line, he's a worthy player for fantasy consideration in most formats.

Semyon Varlamov - Wins again Thursday Varlamov allowed two goals on 26 shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

Impact The Islanders played an excellent defensive game over the first two periods, and they built up enough of a lead for Varlamov to protect in the third. He's now won two straight games, and he's allowed just five goals on 81 shots over his last three outings. Varlamov is 3-3-1 with a 2.86 GAA and an .892 save percentage over seven appearances this season. Ilya Sorokin will likely be back between the pipes for Saturday's matinee game in Seattle.

Semyon Varlamov - Slated to start Thursday Varlamov is expected to start on the road against Vancouver on Thursday, per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

Impact Varlamov stopped 28 of 30 shots en route to a 4-2 victory over Ottawa in his most recent start last Thursday. He has a 2-3-1 record, 3.01 GAA and .887 save percentage in six appearances with the Islanders in 2024-25. Vancouver is a challenging adversary with an 8-3-3 record. The Canucks are also tied for 13th offensively with 3.21 goals per game.

Alexander Romanov - Not cleared for contact Romanov (upper body) is traveling with the Islanders but remains in a non-contact sweater, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports Thursday.

Impact Romanov will have three more opportunities to return during the team's road trip, starting with Saturday's clash with Seattle. The 24-year-old defenseman has logged just one game in the team's last nine contests, registering two hits, two blocks and a plus-1 rating in 23:52 of ice time. Grant Hutton figures to continue featuring on the blue line with Romanov on the shelf.

Travis Mitchell - Up with big club Mitchell was recalled from AHL Bridgeport on Wednesday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Impact Mitchell has three points over eight games with Bridgeport this season. He'll likely serve as a spare defenseman until the Islanders get one of their injured blueliners back.

NOVEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Mike Reilly - Shifts to IR Reilly (upper body) was designated for injured reserve Wednesday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Impact The news shouldn't come as a surprise after Reilly was ruled out indefinitely Saturday due to his upper-body injury. Despite averaging 1:59 of ice time with the man advantage this season, the 31-year-old blueliner has yet to register a point this season in 11 appearances. At this point, Reilly's offensive upside doesn't warrant stashing him in season-long formats even if you have an available IR spot.
