| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | John Tavares  ActiveJohn Tavares wasn't upset over being snubbed for the All-Star MVP. Tavares had four goals, but the award and car that came with it instead went to hometown favorite Ryan Johansen, as per a fan vote. "I had my parents, two sisters and girlfriend here, and they all said they wanted a new car," Tavares said. "So it's almost good that I didn't win." He's the sixth player in history to get four goals in a NHL All-Star Game. Jan 26 |
| 2 | Mikhail Grabovski  SidelinedMikhail Grabovski (lower body) took part in Sunday's practice. Grabovski has missed four consecutive contests due to the ailment. He has six goals and 14 points in 38 games this season. Jan 19 |
| 3 | Frans Nielsen ActiveFrans Nielsen scored a goal in the Islanders' 3-0 win over the Rangers on Tuesday. Nielsen snapped a five-game point drought. He has nine goals and 22 points in 43 contests this season. Jan 14 |
| 4 | Ryan Strome ActiveRyan Strome had his first career four-point game Wednesday night against the Jets. Strome opened the scoring with a fluky goal that popped up and over goalie Ondrej Pavelec, he'd also collect sweet assists on each of the Islanders next three goals. Through 37 games, Strome has seven goals and 20 assists. What's more, he's shooting at only 8.5%. This kid just may be the real deal. Dec 31 |
| 5 | Casey Cizikas ActiveCasey Cizikas had an assist in his return from an upper-body injury on Monday. Cizikas missed three straight games because of the ailment. He has four goals and nine points in 27 contests in 2014-15. Dec 16 |
| 6 | Anders Lee ActiveAnders Lee scored once on Saturday and now has a four game points streak. Lee has three goals and an assist in the four games that gives him 12 goals and 17 points in 39 games with a plus-six rating. Lee scored nine times in 22 games last season so if you are looking for goals, then Lee is not a bad pickup. Jan 18 |
| LW | 1 | Michael Grabner ActiveMichael Grabner scored his third goal of the season on Friday. It was an empty-netter. It was Grabner's 10th game of the season as he has missed most of the season after undergoing sports hernia surgery just before the start of the season. Jan 17 |
| 2 | Matt Martin ActiveMatt Martin scored a goal in a 3-2 loss to Vancouver Tuesday night. It was Martin's first point since Dec. 15. He has five goals and two assists in 40 games in 2014-15. Jan 7 |
| 3 | Eric Boulton ActiveEric Boulton (lower body) was activated from injured reserve on Thursday. He had been sidelined since Nov. 8. Boulton has suited up in just four games this season. Dec 12 |
| 4 | Brock Nelson ActiveBrock Nelson scored and added an assist in the Islander's 2-1 win over Detroit on Friday. Nelson made a diving play to earn his 14th of year in his breakout year. The second year standout for the Isles now has 14 goals and 12 assists for 26 points in 32 games. Anders Lee also added a goal and an assist in the win. Dec 20 |
| RW | 1 | Kyle Okposo SidelinedUpdating an earlier item, Kyle Okposo is projected to miss six-to-eight weeks with an upper-body injury. That's a tough blow for the Islanders, as Okposo is the second on the team with 44 points in 46 games. He's formed an excellent tandem with John Tavares this season. Ryan Strome could be a candidate to replace Okposo on the top line. Jan 26 |
| 2 | Nikolay Kulemin ActiveNikolay Kulemin had two goals and an assist in a 7-4 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers. Kulemin now has 11 goals and 20 points in 46 games this season. Michael Grabner, John Tavares, and Nick Leddy each had a goal and an assist. Josh Bailey and Anders Lee also found the back of the net for the Islanders. Johnny Boychuk assisted on two of New York's seven markers. Jan 19 |
| 3 | Josh Bailey ActiveJosh Bailey had three assists and was a plus-three on Friday. Bailey has enjoyed his time on the top line this week as he has four assists in three games with Kyle Okposo and John Tavares. Bailey, a former ninth overall pick in 2008 has never had more than 38 points in a season, a feat he accomplished last season, but now has seven goals and 18 points in 32 games with a plus-eight rating. Should he remain on the top unit, get him and put him in your lineup. Jan 17 |
| 4 | Cal Clutterbuck ActiveCal Clutterbuck will return to the Islanders lineup on Saturday after missing Friday's action with an upper body injury. Clutterbuck has eight points in 38 games along with 36 penalty minutes. He should not be in your lineup in traditional pools. Jan 10 |
| D | 1 | Lubomir Visnovsky  I.L.Lubomir Visnovsky (UBI) is expected to return to the Islanders lineup Tuesday night against the Rangers. Visnovsky has been out of the Isles lineup since January 4th but is set to return Tuesday night to face their cross-town rival, Rangers. The veteran defenseman has three goals and eight assists in 29 games played this season. Kyle Okposo will be placed on injured reserve with Visnovsky coming off IR. Jan 26 |
| 2 | Johnny Boychuk ActiveJohnny Boychuk had an assist in a 3-0 win against the New York Rangers. Boychuk has recorded at least a point in three of his last five games. He has four goals and 20 points in 33 contests in 2014-15. At this rate, it won't be long before he bests his career-high of 23 points. Jan 14 |
| 3 | Nick Leddy ActiveNick Leddy had a goal and an assist in a 7-4 victory over Philadelphia on Monday. Leddy has seven goals and 21 points in 46 contests. His transition from the Blackhawks to Islanders has been seamless. It has certainly helped that both teams have excelled offensively during his time with them. Look for him to roughly maintain his point-per-game pace after the All-Star break. Jan 20 |
| 4 | Calvin De Haan ActiveCalvin de Haan leads the New York Islanders in blocked shots with 63. The first round selection in 2009 and 12th overall, de Haan has only six assists in 30 games this season. The blueliner does not have a lot of fantasy value, even in deeper leagues. Dec 27 |
| 5 | Travis Hamonic ActiveTravis Hamonic has been averaging 22:08 minutes per game in January. Even still, that's a light workload compared to how much the Islanders leaned on Hamonic last season. He was averaging 25:00 minutes per contest in 2013-14, but his playing time has come down to more reasonable levels thanks to the Islanders' defensive upgrades. Hamonic isn't a force offensively, but he does have 60 penalty minutes, 122 hits and 74 blocked shots in 36 contests in 2014-15. Jan 23 |
| 6 | Thomas Hickey ActiveThomas Hickey is on pace to narrowly top his 2013-14 rookie point total. Hickey has two goals and 11 points in 33 games in 2014-15 after recording 22 points in his rookie campaign. He doesn't have much untapped offensive upside, so if you're hoping that he'll emerge as a great fantasy option in standard leagues, you're setting yourself up for disappointment. Dec 26 |
| 7 | Matt Carkner I.L.Matt Carkner is likely gone for the season after undergoing back surgery last week. The defenseman needed the surgery to repair a herniated disk. He is in his last season of a three-year deal and is looking at unrestricted free agency in the summer. Nov 2 |
| 8 | Brian Strait ActiveBrian Strait scored his first of the season on Saturday and chipped in with an assist. Before you go and rush to pick him up off waivers, he doubled his point total to four with Saturday's outburst. He is also a minus-seven with 18 penalty minutes in 21 games for the Islanders. Jan 11 |
| 9 | Matt Donovan ActiveMatt Donovan, Brian Strait, and Eric Boulton will all continue to be healthy scratches Sunday night against the Oilers. Coach Capuano has no intentions on messing around with his succeeding lineup, especially one that's nearly back 100% health. Even if any of the three do play, none have any fantasy value. Jan 4 |
| G | 1 | Jaroslav Halak ActiveJaroslav Halak stopped six of 10 shots for Team Toews in the third period of Sunday's All-Star game. Team Toews won the battle, 17-12. Of note, Halak helped prevent Ryan Johansen, Patrick Kane, and Steven Stamkos from each recording a hat trick. So there's that. Halak's Islanders meanwhile lead the Metropolitan division with 63 points, and trail eastern conference leading Tampa Bay by just one point. Much due to Halak's career season, he's 25-9-0 with 82 goals against through 34 games. Jan 25 |
| 2 | Chad Johnson ActiveChad Johnson made 16 saves in the Islanders’ 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets on Saturday night. Johnson was giving Jaroslav Halak a night off. He gave up a goal in the first and one in the third period. Johnson was a solid backup last season in Boston, but he hasn’t excelled in limited time this year with just a 3.40 goals-against average and .869 save percentage. Jan 10 |
