Islanders' Simon Holmstrom: Scores lone goal in loss
Holmstrom scored a goal and blocked two shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Red Wings.
Holmstrom's been good in November, though he had been held off the scoresheet in the previous two contests. He was able to redirect a Scott Mayfield attempt in at 5:51 of the first period for the opening goal. Holmstrom has nine points over 20 outings this season, with seven of those points coming across 10 games in November. He's added 19 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating while filling a third-line role in 2024-25.

Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Win slips away late
Sorokin turned aside 29 shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Red Wings.
The 29-year-old goalie seemed headed for his first shutout of the season as the Islanders clung to a 1-0 lead with five minutes left in the third period. The offense's inability to provide some insurance for Sorokin proved costly, however, as Jonatan Berggren tied it up on an odd-man rush before Lucas Raymond snapped home the winner with only 52 seconds left. Sorokin is 0-2-2 over his last four starts with a 3.22 GAA and .902 save percentage, but he's also received just nine goals of support over that stretch. In fact, he's 4-0-0 this season when the Isles score at least four goals for him, and 0-5-3 when they don't.

Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Facing Red Wings
Sorokin will patrol the visiting crease in Detroit on Thursday, according to Andrew Gross of Newsday.
Sorokin got off to a great start this season, going 2-2-1 with a 1.80 GAA and a .932 save percentage over his first five appearances. He has faltered since then, as he is 2-2-2 with a 3.43 GAA and a .900 save percentage across his last six contests. Sorokin will face the Red Wings, who are tied for 29th overall in scoring with 46 goals in 18 games (2.56 goals per game).

Islanders' Travis Mitchell: Heading back to AHL
Mitchell was returned to AHL Bridgeport on Wednesday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
Mitchell was recalled by the Islanders last Wednesday but didn't make his NHL debut during his week with the big club. He'll head back to the minors, where he's tallied a goal and three points over eight appearances with Bridgeport to begin the year.

Islanders' Dennis Cholowski: Picks up helper
Cholowski provided an assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Flames.
This was Cholowski's second game in a row with an assist. He's earned three points over his last five outings and has a total of two goals and two helpers through 11 appearances. The 26-year-old has added seven shots on net, 10 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating while seeing limited usage on the third pairing. It looks like Cholowski has gained the edge over Grant Hutton and Travis Mitchell for playing time even with Alexander Romanov back in the lineup.

Islanders' Scott Mayfield: Contributes helper Tuesday
Mayfield logged an assist, two hits, two blocked shots and two PIM in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Flames.
Mayfield has collected three points and a plus-7 rating over his last six games. The defenseman is up to one goal, three assists, a plus-8 rating, 16 shots on net, 17 PIM, 29 blocked shots and 33 hits through 19 outings overall. Mayfield saw just 17:02 of ice time Tuesday since Alexander Romanov returned to the lineup in a top-four role -- this was Mayfield's first game under the 20-minute mark since the start of November.

Islanders' Pierre Engvall: Goals in three straight games
Engvall scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Flames.
Engvall opened the scoring at 1:32 of the second period. The winger has scored in three straight games, a span that accounts for all of his goals this season. He's added two assists, 25 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through 11 appearances. Engvall is gaining confidence as he continues to hold onto a third-line assignment.

Islanders' Semyon Varlamov: Strong in shootout loss
Varlamov surrendered one goal on 31 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Flames.
Varlamov couldn't win a third straight start, but he has given up no more than two goals in his last four outings. The 36-year-old was bested by Rasmus Andersson on a power-play tally in the third period, and the Flames also converted two of their three shootout attempts. Varlamov is down to a 3-3-2 record with a 2.60 GAA and a .903 save percentage over eight starts. He continues to back up Ilya Sorokin, but Varlamov has gotten a start roughly once a week -- that's enough action to be worth a look in fantasy. The Islanders' five-game road trip ends Thursday in a matchup with the Red Wings.

Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Ready to return
Romanov (upper body) will play against Calgary on Tuesday, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.
Romanov has made only one appearance in the Islanders' last 11 games and missed seven straight outings. However, he will return to the top pairing versus the Flames. Romanov has two assists, 10 shots on goal, 21 blocked shots and 16 hits in eight games this season. He will replace Grant Hutton in Tuesday's lineup.

Islanders' Semyon Varlamov: Confirmed starter on the road
Varlamov will guard the road crease versus the Flames on Tuesday, Andrew Gross of Newsday relays.
Varlamov will attempt to pick up his third straight win against a Calgary club that's scoring 2.67 goals per game through 18 outings. The 36-year-old made 24 saves on 26 shots in a 5-2 win over Vancouver in his last start Nov. 14. The Russian netminder has posted a 3-3-1 record, .892 save percentage and 2.86 GAA through seven appearances.

Islanders' Mike Reilly: Set to undergo heart procedure
Reilly will undergo a procedure on his heart Tuesday and will be sidelined indefinitely.
Reilly had been dealing with a concussion recently, and even though he's been cleared from that issue, he'll miss time due to his heart condition. The condition was discovered when he underwent routine testing as part of his concussion recovery. General manager Lou Lamoriello said Monday that Reilly's recovery process from his procedure could take several months, but the defenseman is expected to be able to play again at some point.

Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Game-time call Tuesday
Romanov (upper body) will be a game-time decision versus the Flames on Tuesday.
Romanov hasn't played since Nov. 1 versus Buffalo, a stretch of seven games on the shelf due to his upper-body injury. With Mike Reilly (chest) out indefinitely and Adam Pelech (jaw) yet to resume skating, the Islanders would certainly benefit from getting the 24-year-old Romanov back into the lineup.

Islanders' Pierre Engvall: Scores again Saturday
Engvall scored a goal in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Kraken.
Engvall has tallied in back-to-back games and looks to be strengthening his spot in the Islanders' lineup. The winger saw just 12:37 of ice time Saturday, but it was his eighth game in a row in the lineup. Overall, he has four points, 22 shots on net, six PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 10 appearances.

Islanders' Brock Nelson: Tallies shorthanded in loss
Nelson scored a shorthanded goal on four shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Kraken.
Nelson gave the Islanders a 2-1 lead in the third period, but it lasted just 37 seconds. The veteran center has three goals and an assist over his last seven contests. For the season, he's produced seven tallies, three helpers, 56 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over 18 appearances. Nelson has some value as a depth scorer in fantasy while seeing consistent second-line minutes.
