Islanders' Matias Maccelli: Garners assist in return
Rotowire
Maccelli posted an assist in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Kings.
Maccelli had missed nine games due to a lower-body injury. He returned to a fourth-line role, logging 13:46 of ice time in an 11-forward lineup. The 26-year-old is up to two goals, five helpers, 14 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over nine appearances this season. Maccelli could move up in the lineup as he gets back up to speed, though fantasy managers can afford to wait and see how his usage develops.

Maccelli has two goals, six points and 13 shots on net in eight appearances this season.

Rotowire
Maccelli (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Monday.
After suffering a lower-body injury against Toronto on Oct. 17, Maccelli has sat out the last three games. He was expected to miss 2-4 weeks, so his move to the IR list won't impact his timeline. Maccelli has earned two goals, six points and 13 shots on net in eight appearances this season.

Islanders' Matias Maccelli: Set to miss one week
Rotowire
Maccelli (lower body) will not be an option for the Islanders' next three contests, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports Monday.
Maccelli was riding a five-game point streak before he was injured in Saturday's clash with the Maple Leafs. Last season, the 26-year-old winger registered 14 goals and 25 helpers in 71 regular-season games, just missing the 40-point mark. Barring an extended stint on the shelf, Maccelli should be capable of challenging that threshold again in 2026-27.

Rotowire
Maccelli (lower body) won't return to Saturday's game versus the Maple Leafs.
Maccelli appeared to hurt his left leg late in the first period after getting tripped. It's a terrible time for the injury, as Maccelli has worked his way onto the top line and first power-play unit. He has six points over eight outings this season. More information should be available ahead of Tuesday's game versus the Ducks.

Islanders' Matias Maccelli: Tallies in shootout loss
Rotowire
Maccelli scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Senators.
Maccelli stretched his point streak to five games with the goal. That stretch accounts for all of his offense (two goals, four assists) on the season. The 26-year-old has added 13 shots on net and a plus-3 rating. Maccelli was on the top line and first power-play unit Thursday. With more of a focus on shooting the puck in the early going this year, he could get back into the form that saw him rack up 57 points in 82 games for the Coyotes in 2023-24.

Islanders' Matias Maccelli: One of each in narrow win
Rotowire
Maccelli scored a goal, registered an assist, posted a plus-2 rating and launched six shots on net in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Canucks.
Maccelli played a large part in Tuesday's win, as he tallied the Islanders' second goal of the opening period before helping them reclaim the lead early in the third with the primary helper on Kyle Palmieri's go-ahead score. With Tuesday's performance in the books, the 25-year-old Maccelli has a goal, five points, a plus-2 rating and 12 shots on net across six outings. He's been grinding on the team's fourth line to keep his role as a depth winger over Kyle MacLean. Maccelli's current four-game point streak is one of the best of his six-year NHL career, and it's helping him trend towards fantasy relevance as a streaming option in deep leagues.
Maccelli delivered an assist Saturday in a 5-3 loss to the Lightning.
Maccelli has quietly put up an assist in each of his last three games. He is coming off a 39-point campaign in Toronto last season and has the playmaking to get back to the mid-50 range if the stars align over Long Island. Maccelli is motivated to make that happen. He's on a one-year contract and out to prove an extension is worth a team's time and cash.
Maccelli signed a one-year, $2.25 million contract with the Islanders on Wednesday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
Maccelli became an unrestricted free agent after Toronto declined to present him with a qualifying offer before Monday's deadline. He had 14 goals and 39 points in 71 appearances with the Maple Leafs in 2025-26. Maccelli hasn't managed to recapture the success he enjoyed in the 2023-24 regular season when he finished with 57 points, but he's still just 25 years old, so there's still a fair chance he bounces back. Maccelli is likely to begin 2026-27 in a middle-six role.

Matias Maccelli: Won't receive qualifying offer
Rotowire
Maccelli will be allowed to reach the open market after Toronto opted against giving him a qualifying offer, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports Monday.
Maccelli may not have reached the heights of his 2023-24 campaign (57 points in 82 games), but he still notched 14 goals and 25 helpers, including eight power-play points, in 71 regular-season games with Toronto. As such, there should be plenty of interest in the 25-year-old winger on the open market, and a middle-six role with the right team could help bolster his offensive production.

Maple Leafs' Matias Maccelli: Provides pair of assists
Rotowire
Maccelli notched two assists in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.
Maccelli hasn't scored in seven games, but he has five assists in that span. The winger is filling a middle-six role and remains on the second power-play unit, but his offense tends to be a bit sporadic, and he offers no upside in non-scoring areas. He's earned 37 points (14 goals, 23 assists) with 84 shots on net and a minus-15 rating over 62 outings this season.

Rotowire
Maccelli scored a goal in a 6-2 loss to the Rangers on Thursday.
Maccelli is on a four-game, four-point scoring streak (two goals, two assists). The winger has been in and out of head coach Craig Berube's dog house for the entire season, but play like this will keep him on the ice. Maccelli's ice time shot up to 19:32 against the Rangers.

Maple Leafs' Matias Maccelli: Tallies twice in win
Rotowire
Maccelli scored two goals on four shots and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Oilers.
Maccelli opened the scoring at 7:12 of the second period, and he added a power-play marker in the third. The 25-year-old has opened February with three goals over two games after scoring just twice with six assists over 16 contests in January. The playmaking winger is up to 10 goals, 24 points, 58 shots on net and a minus-12 rating over 46 appearances. He won't come near the 57-point output he had in 2023-24 with the Coyotes, but he could challenge the 17-goal total he had that year.

Maple Leafs' Matias Maccelli: Pots goal vs. Calgary
Rotowire
Maccelli scored a goal in Monday's 4-2 win over the Flames.
Maccelli scored a goal for the first time since Jan. 10, when he found the twine in a 5-0 victory over the Canucks. Maccelli has 22 points (eight goals, 14 assists) in 45 contests this season, so he's not expected to be a massive fantasy contributor any time soon -- even if he finds a way to crack the scoresheet from time to time.
