Mike Reilly - Won't face Sens Reilly (concussion) will be unavailable against Ottawa on Thursday after missing the game-day skate, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Impact Considering Reilly had yet to register a point in 11 games this season, few fantasy players are likely going to be impacted by his continued absence. Still, the 31-year-old blueliner was a 20-plus point producer last year while dishing out 47 hits and 57 blocks in 59 regular-season contests. Without Reilly in the lineup, Dennis Cholowski and Grant Hutton will make up the third pairing.

Alexander Romanov - Remains out Thursday Romanov (upper body) was not on the ice for Thursday's game-day skate and won't be in the lineup versus Ottawa, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Impact Romanov's absence, along with that of Mike Reilly (concussion) will see Isaiah George continue filling a spot on the blue line -- this time alongside Noah Dobson on the top pairing. For his part, Romanov has played in just one of the Isles' last seven contests due to his upper-body concerns. If he doesn't get back in the lineup soon, Romanov could miss the 20-point threshold for the first time in three years.

Semyon Varlamov - Exits ice first Thursday Varlamov was the first goalie off the ice Thursday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports, indicating he'll be in goal on the road versus Ottawa.

Impact Varlamov has managed just one win in his five appearances this season, posting a 1-3-1 record to go with a 3.21 GAA and .876 save percentage. While the Isles don't have a back-to-back on the schedule until the end of November, the coaching staff seems to want to get Varlamov into the mix along with starter Ilya Sorokin and could still see a handful of opportunities.

Isaiah George - Makes NHL debut Tuesday George saw 15:41 of ice time in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Penguins.

Impact George was brought up from AHL Bridgeport on Monday as a result of New York dealing with various injuries to its blue line. The 20-year-old didn't look out of place in his first career NHL game, and he was entrusted to defend in a tie game with under two minutes to play in the third period. The left-shot blueliner is an extremely smooth skater, and that trait appears to be the foundation of George's game. The 2022 fourth-round selection could get an extended look with New York while Alexander Romanov and Mike Reilly work their way back from upper-body injuries.

Ryan Pulock - Contributes power-play helper Pulock notched a power-play assist, two shots on goal, three hits and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Penguins.

Impact With the left side of the Islanders' defense ravaged by injuries, Pulock moved over to his off side to help cover. He played 29:03 in Tuesday's contest and could continue to see big minutes in all situations until one of Mike Reilly or Alexander Romanov is able to return from their respective upper-body injuries. Through 13 outings, Pulock has four assists, 19 shots on net, 17 hits, 26 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating. He has chipped in 5-6 power-play points in each of the last three seasons but typically won't feature with the man advantage when the Islanders are at full strength.

Jean-Gabriel Pageau - Aids in comeback Pageau scored his third goal of the season in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout victory over the Penguins.

Impact Pageau netted the game-tying goal after being set up by Bo Horvat to tie the score at 3-3 in the final frame. Pageau added five shots, two hits and an even plus-minus rating in 20:45 of ice time. The right-shot forward is currently slotted in on the top line and No. 2 power-play unit, and through 13 games, Pageau has compiled three goals, two assists, 26 shots, 29 hits, seven blocks and a minus-3 rating.

NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Simon Holmstrom - Scores first of season in win Holmstrom scored a power-play goal on his only shot in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Penguins.

Impact Holmstrom initiated the Islanders' comeback effort by roofing a backhand top shelf to cut Pittsburgh's lead to one at 9:41 of the third period. The Swedish forward is riding a three-game point streak consisting of one goal and two assists after registering a meager two assists over his first 10 outings. Overall, Holmstrom is up to five points (one goal), four PIM, nine shots, six hits, eight blocks and a minus-2 rating over 13 appearances.

Bo Horvat - Two apples in win Horvat generated two even-strength assists in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over Pittsburgh.

Impact Horvat assisted on Kyle Palmieri's second-period marker before setting up Jean-Gabriel Pageau's game-tying goal at 12:48 of the final frame. Horvat has picked up his offense lately -- he's logged four points over his last three outings after recording five across the first 10 games of the campaign. The left-shot center is up to four goals, five assists and a minus-1 rating across 13 contests while skating on the top line and No. 1 power-play unit.

Kyle Palmieri - Extends point streak in win Palmieri produced a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Penguins.

Impact Palmieri buried a rebound in the second period before registering the primary helper on Simon Holmstrom's third-period power-play marker. Palmieri added three shots, two PIM, one block, one hit and a plus-1 rating in 20:53 of ice time. The right-shot winger has picked up points in three consecutive outings, and Tuesday marked his third multi-point effort of the season. The 33-year-old leads New York in points with six goals and five assists through 13 games.

NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Ilya Sorokin - Earns victory Tuesday Sorokin turned aside 32 of 35 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Penguins.

Impact Sorokin conceded two goals at even strength and one on the power play. The 29-year-old has allowed at least three goals in four of his last five outings, but he's 3-2-0 during that span. In addition, Sorokin has faced at least 35 shots in three consecutive contests, a result of New York contending with an injury-laden blue line. The Russian netminder is sporting a 4-3-1 record, .921 save percentage and 2.35 GAA through eight appearances.

Impact Reilly is still day-to-day and will miss his second straight game. He hasn't earned a point in 11 games this campaign but has provided 15 shots on goal, four blocked shots and three hits. With Reilly, Alexander Romanov (upper body) and Adam Pelech (jaw) unavailable to play against the Penguins, the Islanders' defense corp will feature Dennis Cholowski, Grant Hutton and Isaiah George, who makes his NHL debut following his recall from AHL Bridgeport on Tuesday.
