The Skinny: Blackhawks 5, Islanders 3 | New York IslandersIslanders statistician Eric Hornick breaks down the Islanders 5-3 loss to the Blackhawks

Bo Horvat - Remains day-to-dayHorvat (lower body) continues to be considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's matchup with Carolina, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
ImpactThe fact that Horvat is traveling with the Islanders is certainly good news, though he was also held out of Sunday's clash with Chicago while being considered day-to-day ahead of that contest. With New York notoriously stingy on player injury updates, fantasy players may have to wait until puck drop to see if Horvat is actually suiting up versus Carolina on Tuesday.

Grant Hutton - Playing time trending downHutton has been scratched for nine of the last 14 games after he sat out Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Blackhawks.
ImpactThe Islanders have gotten Alexander Romanov and Adam Pelech back from injuries over the last few weeks, creating a crowded blue line. Hutton is currently filling a reserve role, and the team wants to get Isaiah George more of a look as well. Barring further injuries on the blue line, don't expect Hutton to play regularly moving forward. He has two helpers, 10 shots on net, 12 hits and 11 blocked shots through 12 appearances.

Kyle MacLean - Nabs assist SundayMacLean notched an assist and four shots on goal in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Blackhawks.
ImpactMacLean has two points over his last four games, but offense will be tough to come by since he remains in a fourth-line role. The 25-year-old center is at five points, 22 shots on net, 40 hits and a minus-5 rating over 32 appearances. He had nine points in 32 regular-season outings last year. MacLean may be scratched or moved to the wing once Bo Horvat (lower body) returns to action.

Pierre Engvall - Puts up assist SundayEngvall notched an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Blackhawks.
ImpactEngvall was waived Friday, but he remains in the NHL for now, though he's on shaky ground for sticking around. If he plays in every game moving forward, he would exhaust his current waivers exemption Jan. 9. Engvall may lose his place in the lineup or on the roster earlier than that, as Anthony Duclair (lower body) and Bo Horvat (lower body) could be close to returns. Engvall has seven points, 27 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 21 appearances.
