Pos | Role | Name |
C | 1 | John Tavares  ActiveJohn Tavares scored the overtime winning goal in a 4-3 win over the Detroit Red Wings. Tavares capped off what could be his last game as an Islander with an unbelievable dangle and snipe for the OT winner. If he hits the open market, he'll be arguably the most sought out after free-agent in recent memory and he showed why tonight. The 27-year-old center will finish off the season with 37 goals and 84 points in 82 games. Andrew Ladd, Anders Lee and Ryan Pulock also scored in the win. Apr 7 |
| 2 | Mathew Barzal  ActiveMathew Barzal had a pair of assists Saturday to tie the rookie assist record for the Islanders. Barzal ended the season with 63 helpers as he tied Hall-of-Famer Bryan Trottier for the most assists as an Islander rookie. The prohibitive favorite for the Calder Trophy, Barzal chipped in with 22 goals to give him 85 points, currently tied for 12th best in the NHL. It was quite the season for Barzal who will become the number one center for New York if John Tavares leaves as a UFA in July. Apr 8 |
| 3 | Brock Nelson  ActiveBrock Nelson scored a goal and an assist in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Montreal Canadiens. Nelson picked up the primary assist on Tanner Fritz's game-tying goal (1-1) in the first period before adding a power play goal with four seconds left in the second frame to tie the game at three. Unfortunately for the Isles, they allowed Montreal to score three straight goals in the third period. They've now lost each of their last five games, which is less than ideal for a team with playoff aspirations. Nelson has 15 goals and 27 points in 65 games this season. This was his first goal in nine contests. Mar 2 |
| 4 | Casey Cizikas  SidelinedCasey Cizikas (upper body) will miss Friday and Saturday's games. Cizikas has already missed two games due to the ailment. He has seven goals and 17 points in 64 contests this season. Mar 29 |
| 5 | Chris Wagner  ActiveChris Wagner will be a healthy scratch in Saturday's game against the Chicago Blackhawks. Wagner has six goals, nine assists and 35 penalty minutes in 72 games this season. It's the fourth time in seven games that he'll be made a healthy scratch. Dennis Seidenberg will also watch the game from the press box. Mar 24 |
LW | 1 | Anders Lee  ActiveAnders Lee scored his 40th of the season Saturday. Lee became one of eight players to hit the 40 goal mark this season, joining Alex Ovechkin, Patrik Laine, William Karlsson, Eric Staal, Evgeni Malkin, Connor McDavid and Tyler Seguin. Lee had the least amount of assists among the octet with only 22 but it was still quite the season for the winger. He may not have as good a season next year for the Islanders if his center John Tavares bolts as he is eligible to become a UFA on July 1. Apr 8 |
| 2 | Andrew Ladd  ActiveAndrew Ladd scored a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Ottawa Senators. Ladd helped set up Brock Nelson's tally late in the second period to give the Isles a 3-2 lead at the time. The veteran winger then added the game-winning goal (4-3) with just over three minutes remaining in regulation. Ladd finished the night with a plus-2 rating and four shots on goal in 14:00 of ice time. The 32-year-old has racked up 11 goals and 26 points in 68 games this season. This was his first goal in seven games. Anders Lee and Anthony Beauvillier also found the back of the net for the Islanders. Mar 27 |
| 3 | Alan Quine  I.L.Alan Quine (lower body) will miss Friday's game. Quine last played on Feb. 5. He still hasn't been ruled out of Saturday's contest though, so consider him day-to-day. Mar 29 |
| 4 | Shane Prince  ActiveShane Prince (upper body) has been taken off the injured reserve list. Prince was absent for 33 consecutive games due to the injury. The Islanders only have two games left, but at least he can get a bit of work in so that he's entering the offseason on a more positive note. Apr 5 |
| 5 | Nikolay Kulemin  I.L.Nikolay Kulemin (shoulder) believes he was close to a return to the lineup. Kulemin, who was out of action since Nov. 7, thinks he could have played in the playoffs had the Islanders qualified. He was limited to 13 games in 2017-18 and is eligible for unrestricted free agency in the summer. Apr 9 |
| 6 | Ross Johnston  ActiveRoss Johnston will be a healthy scratch in Thursday's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning. It's the second time in three games that Johnston will serve as a healthy scratch. The 24-year-old has three goals, three assists and 58 penalty minutes in 17 games this season. Mar 22 |
RW | 1 | Josh Bailey  ActiveJosh Bailey will play for Canada at the upcoming IIHF World Championship. Bailey will join fellow Islanders Mathew Barzal, Anthony Beauvillier and Jordan Eberle on the roster. He broke out offensively in 2017-18 with 71 points (18 goals, 53 assists) in 76 games. Apr 16 |
| 2 | Jordan Eberle  ActiveJordan Eberle recorded two assists in the Islanders' 5-4 overtime win against Philadelphia on Tuesday. Eberle has 25 goals and 59 points in 79 contests in 2017-18. If he gets one more point then he'll reach the 60-point milestone for the first time since 2014-2015 and the fourth time in his career. Apr 4 |
| 3 | Anthony Beauvillier  ActiveAnthony Beauvillier scored a goal in Thursday's 2-1 win over the New York Rangers. The Islanders found themselves down 1-0 heading into the middle frame, but they got goals from Thomas Hickey and Beauvillier in the second period. The Islanders forward finished the night with a plus-1 rating, one shot on goal and two hits in 15:45 of ice time. Beauvillier now has 21 goals and 36 points in 70 games this season. He's now scored in five consecutive games. He's also accumulated eight points during a five-game point streak. Apr 5 |
| 4 | Cal Clutterbuck  ActiveCal Clutterbuck (undisclosed) will return to the lineup on Tuesday night. Clutterbuck was forced to leave Saturday's game early due to an undisclosed ailment and he didn't practice Monday, but he is ready to play against Philadelphia. He has 17 points and 223 hits in 73 games this year. Apr 3 |
D | 1 | Nick Leddy  ActiveNick Leddy will be a healthy scratch in Saturday's game against the Red Wings. Neither team has anything to play for outside of improving their lottery odds, so it's not surprising to see the Islanders rest a key piece. Fellow blue liner Johnny Boychuk will also watch the game from the press box. Apr 7 |
| 2 | Johnny Boychuk  ActiveJohnny Boychuk will undergo surgery on Monday. Boychuk would not disclose what is bothering him, but he expects to be 100 percent by June. It has apparently been a nagging issue that has hindered him all season. Apr 8 |
| 3 | Calvin de Haan  I.L.Calvin de Haan (shoulder) said he finally feels "human" again. De Haan underwent surgery on Jan. 18 to repair a dislocated left shoulder. He expects to be ready for training camp and hasn't ruled out a return to the Islanders. De Haan can become an unrestricted free agent this summer. Apr 9 |
| 4 | Thomas Hickey  ActiveThomas Hickey scored a goal in a 2-1 shootout loss to the Edmonton Oilers. Brock Nelson made a nice move around an Edmonton Oilers before dumping it off to Hickey who beat Cam Talbot for his fourth goal of the year. Hickey is a former fourth overall pick back in 2007, but his game never quite developed as some had hoped. Despite turning into a solid puck-mover at the back, he does not own any fantasy upside. Mar 9 |
| 5 | Dennis Seidenberg  ActiveDennis Seidenberg will be a healthy scratch in Saturday's game against the New Jersey Devils. Seidenberg played in each of New York's last two games, but Scott Mayfield will take his spot in the lineup tonight. The veteran has no goals and five assists in 26 games this season. The Islanders will play with 11 forwards and seven defensemen tonight. Mar 31 |
| 6 | Brandon Davidson  ActiveBrandon Davidson will be a healthy scratch in Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia Flyers. Davidson has four goals and three assists in 49 games this season. Dennis Seidenberg will also watch the game from the press box. Apr 3 |
| 7 | Scott Mayfield  ActiveScott Mayfield will be a healthy scratch in Friday's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Islanders are going with 11 forwards and seven defensemen tonight, but Mayfield still won't get into the lineup. He has two goals and 12 points in 44 games this season. Mar 30 |
| 8 | Adam Pelech  ActiveAdam Pelech (undisclosed) returned to action on Saturday November 11. Pelech was sidelined for four straight games as a result of the injury. He had an assist in 20:15 minutes of ice time in his return. Nov 12 |
| 9 | Ryan Pulock  ActiveRyan Pulock scored twice on the power play Thursday. The rookie defenseman has been outstanding of late offensively and is up to nine goals and 29 points as he is on a five game points streak. Pulock has three goals and eight points during the streak and has four goals and 10 points with the man-advantage. He is worth looking at next season in drafts. Mar 24 |
G | 1 | Jaroslav Halak  ActiveJaroslav Halak allowed one goal on 35 shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the New York Rangers. Halak allowed a power-play goal to Kevin Hayes in the first period, but he managed to keep the Rangers off the board the rest of the way. The Islanders netminder has now won back-to-back games since losing 10 in a row. The 32-year-old has a 20-26-6 record with a 3.19 goals-against-average and a .908 save percentage this season. The Islanders will need to upgrade between the pipes this off-season. Apr 5 |
| 2 | Thomas Greiss  ActiveThomas Greiss stopped 36 of 39 shots in a 4-3 overtime win over the Detroit Red Wings. Greiss will finish the season with back-to-back wins, the first time he has done that since he had five-straight in November. The German netminder had another inconsistent season playing behind an invisible defensive unit. He'll finish the season with a 13-8-2 record, a 3.82 goals-against-average and a .892 save percentage. The Islanders have him locked up for another two years at a $3.33 million cap hit. Apr 7 |
