Islanders' Anders Lee: Assists on game-winner
Lee recorded an assist and put five shots on goal in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
With an apple on Simon Holmstrom's game-winning goal, Lee ended a three-game point drought to help send the Islanders home with their second consecutive win. Overall, the 35-year-old winger is up to seven assists, nine points, and 37 shots through 12 appearances this year. Lee has struggled to score goals this season with just one multi-goal game this year. However, his playmaking presence has been apparent as he leads the Islanders in assists. Once the shots he fires start to end up in the back of the net, Lee should have a case to be rostered in most fantasy leagues that value points. For now, he is a solid option that can consistently provide shots on goal.

Islanders' Bo Horvat: Helps out on power play
Horvat picked up a power-play assist and put two shots on net in Sunday's 3-2 win over Columbus.
Horvat played a hand in the career day for Matthew Schaefer as he assisted the young defenseman's first tally on a power play in the opening period. Overall, the 30-year-old Horvat has six assists, 13 points and 40 shots on net in 12 games this season. The Islanders' top-line center has at least one point in all but four of his appearances this year, putting him on the right track for a career-best season. Horvat has only reached the 70-point mark once, but with a plethora of solid goal-scoring options to join him on the top line at any point this season, he could reach that mark again.

Islanders' Simon Holmstrom: Steals win with late goal
Holmstrom scored a goal, put two shots on net and recorded a block in Sunday's 3-2 win over Columbus.
Holmstrom scored the game-winning goal with 38 seconds to go in regulation to break the 2-2 tie. With his late score, the 24-year-old winger has four goals, eight points and 13 shots on net in 12 games this season. Seven of Holmstrom's points have come in his last seven appearances as he continues to be an efficient source of offense for the Islanders. He's shooting 30.8 percent so far, making Holmstrom is worth streaming in fantasy formats that place an emphasis on points until that number eventually comes down.

Islanders' Matthew Schaefer: Lights lamp twice Sunday
Schaefer scored two goals, including one on a power play, in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
The No. 1 overall pick from the 2025 NHL Entry Draft continues to shine in his first season with the Islanders, as he scored with a man advantage in the first period before tying the game with just over a minute to go in regulation. With the pair of tallies, Schaefer is up to five goals, 10 points and 36 shots on net across 12 games this season. After experiencing a three-game point drought, Schaefer has three goals in as many games and is soaring up the point leaderboard for the Islanders. He remains firmly in the running to win this season's Calder Trophy alongside Montreal's Ivan Demidov and Jakub Dobes. Schaefer's offensive capabilities from the blue line give him a case to be rostered in nearly all fantasy formats.

Islanders' David Rittich: Third win in four tries
Rittich stopped 20 of 22 shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Rittich allowed just one goal inside the first 50 minutes of regulation before the Blue Jackets took a brief lead, which was then taken back by New York with two goals in the final two minutes. With the win, the 33-year-old goaltender has a 3-1-0 record with a 3.01 GAA and a .902 save percentage across four appearances. Sunday's start was his second appearance in three games, which is a stretch of action he hasn't seen yet this season. With starting goaltender Ilya Sorokin facing struggles in the early stages of this season, Rittich might get a few extra opportunities in the backup role to keep Sorokin fresh. With three wins to start the season, Rittich is a solid spot start in fantasy for the time being.

Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Will start Tuesday
Sorokin will get the start for Tuesday's game against the Bruins, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
Sorokin is backing up David Rittich against the Blue Jackets on Sunday, but Islanders head coach Patrick Roy volunteered that Sorokin would be the one between the pipes against the Bruins on Tuesday. The 30-year-old has not been his usual self so far this season, posting just a 3-4-1 record, a 3.40 GAA and an .877 save percentage. The Bruins have been off since Saturday's 2-1 win over the Hurricanes.

Islanders' David Rittich: Making third home start
Rittich will get the start in net for Sunday's game against the Blue Jackets, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
The Islanders have only had one back-to-back so far this season, so the team has had to be creative in finding ways to get Rittich work. He'll be starting for the fourth time this season Sunday. The 33-year-old will look to rebound from his worst start of the year, in which Rittich surrendered six goals on 34 shots against the Hurricanes. The Blue Jackets come in on a four-game winning streak.

Islanders' Maxim Shabanov: Not close to return
Shabanov (upper body) isn't close to returning to the lineup, according to Andrew Gross of Newsday on Sunday.
Shabanov has resumed skating, but he will miss his sixth straight game against Columbus on Sunday. It's still unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. Shabanov has contributed one goal, two assists, eight shots on net and five hits over six appearances this season.

Islanders' Quinn Finley: Nets two more goals
Finley scored twice on six shots in the University of Wisconsin's 4-0 win over the University of Minnesota on Saturday.
Finley is off to a great start this season with five goals and four assists through eight contests. He continues to use his shot as his best tool, which should bode well for him when he eventually turns pro. For now, Finley should continue to pile up points for the Badgers, who have started the year 6-0-2.

Islanders' Kashawn Aitcheson: Scores twice in OHL win
Aitcheson scored two goals on six shots in OHL Barrie's 4-2 win over Erie on Saturday.
Aitcheson has five goals and one assist during a four-game point streak. The 19-year-old defenseman is showing some serious scoring chops with 11 goals and 17 points through 16 appearances this season. He had 26 goals and 59 points over 64 regular-season outings in 2024-25, but he appears to have taken another step, which is exactly what the Islanders want to see out of one of their top prospects.

Islanders' Cole McWard: Puts up two points
McWard scored a goal and added an assist in AHL Bridgeport's 3-2 loss to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Friday.
McWard is up to four points through eight outings for Bridgeport this season. He has no obvious path to the NHL barring multiple injuries for the big club, where the Islanders are carrying seven blueliners. In addition to the 24-year-old McWard, the Islanders could call on Isaiah George or Marshall Warren, the latter of whom just had a week-long stint in the NHL before returning to the minors Friday.

Islanders' Jean-Gabriel Pageau: Nets shortie in win
Pageau scored a shorthanded goal in Friday's 3-1 win over the Capitals.
Pageau has two goals and a helper over his last five games. His tally Friday tied the game at 1-1. It was his third shorthanded point of the campaign, though he hasn't been able to find the scoresheet with the man advantage. Pageau is up to three goals, three assists, 11 shots on net, 19 hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 11 appearances in a third-line role.

Islanders' Mathew Barzal: Deposits empty-netter
Barzal scored an empty-net goal on two shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Capitals.
Barzal was scratched for missing the bus to the morning skate Thursday in Carolina, but he was back in his usual top-six spot for Friday's contest. He supplied an insurance tally near the end of the game to help secure the Islanders' first win in four games. Barzal is up to three goals, six assists, 19 shots on net, nine blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-5 rating over 10 appearances this season.

Islanders' Bo Horvat: Nets go-ahead goal Friday
Horvat scored a goal on three shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Capitals.
Horvat put the Islanders ahead 2-1 with his tally at 4:29 of the third period. The 30-year-old center has had a productive first month of the campaign, racking up seven goals and five assists over 11 games. He's earned three points during the Islanders' recent four-game road trip, and he'll look to keep the offense rolling at home against the Blue Jackets on Sunday.

Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Sharp in win
Sorokin stopped 22 of 23 shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Capitals.
Sorokin had allowed seven goals on 47 shots over his previous two outings. He bounced back with a strong performance Friday, which saw him give up nothing more than a Tom Wilson goal off a rebound. Sorokin improved to 3-4-1 with a 3.40 GAA and an .877 save percentage over eight starts. He's still got some work to do to repair the early damage to his numbers, but Sorokin is expected to receive plenty of playing time. The Islanders' next game is Sunday at home versus the Blue Jackets.

Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Facing Capitals
Sorokin will defend the visiting goal in Washington on Friday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
It has been a tough go for Sorokin this season, as he has allowed three goals on two occasions and four tallies in each of his other five games. Overall, Sorokin is 2-4-1 with a 3.75 GAA and an .868 save percentage over seven starts. The Capitals are 25th in NHL scoring, generating 2.70 goals per game.
