Islanders' Ryan Pulock: Set to miss 2-4 weeks
Pulock (upper body) will miss 2-4 weeks, the Islanders announced Sunday.
Pulock didn't play in Saturday's 4-0 loss to Edmonton after getting injured in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over Minnesota. He has earned one assist, eight shots on net, 23 blocked shots and 11 hits in 13 appearances this season.

Islanders' Isaiah George: Reassigned to minors
George was sent back to AHL Hamilton on Sunday.
George was a healthy scratch for Saturday's 4-0 loss to Edmonton. He hasn't earned a point in four AHL appearances this season, but he has nine shots on net and a plus-2 rating.

Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Yields three goals in loss
Sorokin turned away 20 of 23 shots on goal in Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Oilers.
While Sorokin didn't bring his best stuff in Saturday's clash, he was also left on an island by his offense, which was kept off the scoreboard for the first time this season. Outside a rough second period, the 31-year-old Sorokin kept the Isles' net tidy. Overall, he now holds a 6-4-0 record, a 2.41 GAA, one shutout and a .911 save percentage across 10 appearances this season. Despite alternating results over his past four contests, Sorokin remains a clear No. 1 fantasy option between the pipes due to his expected workload and proven success over numerous full seasons. His next opportunity to bounce back is Thursday against the reigning Stanley Cup champs.

Islanders' Ryan Pulock: Shelved for Saturday's game
Pulock (upper body) will not play in Saturday's home clash against the Oilers, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.
Unfortunately for Pulock and the Islanders, his Halloween costume will be street clothes, as he's slated to miss his first game of the campaign after suffering an upper-body injury in Thursday's clash against the Wild. Prior to going down, the 32-year-old blueliner posted an assist, a plus-2 rating, eight shots on net, 11 hits and 23 blocked shots across 13 appearances. In his absence, Matt Kessel is expected to rejoin the lineup. Pulock will have some time to try and recover ahead of Thursday's home game against the Hurricanes.

Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Facing Oilers
Sorokin will protect the home net against Edmonton on Saturday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
Sorokin is coming off a 22-save effort in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Islanders. He has a 6-3-1 record, a 2.34 GAA and a .915 save percentage through nine appearances in the 2026-27 campaign. Edmonton (9-2-2) leads the league with 4.23 goals per game this season.

Islanders' Isaiah George: Summoned from AHL
George was recalled from AHL Hamilton on Saturday.
George hasn't earned a point in four AHL outings this season. He had one assist, two shots on goal, three blocked shots and one hit in four regular-season NHL outings with the Islanders in 2025-26. George could play against Edmonton on Saturday if Ryan Pulock (upper body) is unavailable.

Islanders' Adam Pelech: Finds twine in overtime win
Pelech scored a goal on three shots, blocked three shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Wild.
This was Pelech's first goal of the season. The 32-year-old defenseman has added two assists, 17 shots on net, 13 hits, 24 blocked shots, 19 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 13 appearances. Pelech could be in line for increased defensive duties if Ryan Pulock (upper body) is forced to miss time with the injury he sustained Thursday. While Pelech has topped the 20-point mark four times in his career, his heavy playing style often leads to missed time, making him unreliable in most fantasy formats.

Islanders' Bo Horvat: Nets power-play marker
Horvat scored a power-play goal on three shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Wild.
Horvat continues to chip in offense at a steady rate with seven points over his last six games. He's earned two of his points in that span on the power play. The 31-year-old center is up to seven goals, seven assists, 41 shots on net, 24 hits and a plus-2 rating across 13 appearances this season.

Islanders' Matthew Schaefer: Monster performance Thursday
Schaefer scored two even-strength goals on six shots and added a power-play assist in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Wild.
Schaefer led the Islanders with six shots and recorded his first three-point outing of the season -- and his first multi-point effort since Oct. 13. The star blueliner has failed to crack the scoresheet just three times all season long and is currently riding a six-game point streak, notching eight points (four goals, four assists), 24 shots on goal and three hits over that span while averaging a robust 28:06 TOI/G.

Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Makes 22 saves in overtime win
Sorokin stopped 22 of 25 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Wild.
Sorokin allowed one goal in each period of regulation before keeping Minnesota off the scoreboard in the extra frame. His established starting role continues to provide considerable fantasy value, although inconsistent save efficiency can occasionally offset his strong win potential. Even though he's won four of his last five appearances (4-1-0), Sorokin also has a slightly subpar .896 save percentage on 135 shots faced in that span.

Islanders' Quinn Finley: Trio of assists Thursday
Finley logged three assists in AHL Hamilton's 5-4 overtime win over Hartford on Thursday.
Finley has adjusted quickly to the AHL, earning five points over his first six games since he recovered from shoulder surgery. The winger is a third-round pick from 2022, so he may need a year or two of AHL time before challenging for a regular role in the NHL. Finley does his best work with the puck, but he will need to develop some defensive skills in the AHL.

Islanders' Ryan Pulock: Gets injured early Thursday
Pulock (upper body) won't finish Thursday's game versus the Wild.
Pulock was injured early in the first period. The 32-year-old defenseman can be considered day-to-day for now until the Islanders provide more information. If Pulock misses time, Matt Kessel will likely draw back into the lineup.

Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Starting against Minnesota
Sorokin will start Thursday's road game against Minnesota, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
Sorokin's three-game winning streak came to an end Sunday against Dallas when he allowed six goals on 38 shots during a 6-3 defeat on the road. However, he'll return to the crease Thursday after getting a night off Tuesday in Nashville. Across his first eight appearances of the 2026-27 campaign, Sorokin has gone 5-3-0 with a 2.26 GAA and .919 save percentage.

Islanders' Anthony Duclair: Tallies opening goal
Duclair scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Predators.
Duclair has firmed up his place in the lineup with two goals and two assists over his last five outings. He's playing on the third line and second power-play unit. For the season, the veteran winger has five points, 14 shots, eight PIM and a minus-3 rating over 12 appearances.

Islanders' Semyon Varlamov: Earns win Tuesday
Varlamov stopped 20 of 23 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Predators. He also denied both Nashville shootout attempts.
Varlamov earned the win and posted a solid performance overall, coming up big throughout overtime and the shootout after the Predators erased a three-goal deficit in regulation. With Ilya Sorokin ahead of him in the Islanders' goaltending rotation, Varlamov remains a situational fantasy option, although this performance could help him earn additional starts.

Islanders' Brayden Schenn: Reaches 300 career goals
Schenn scored a goal on one shot in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Predators.
Schenn reached the 300-goal milestone with a first-period tally that gave New York a 2-0 lead. The veteran center has four goals this season and continues to provide secondary scoring for the Islanders. His experience and ability to contribute in multiple situations offer some value in deeper fantasy formats, although his offensive ceiling remains more limited than that of New York's primary scoring options.
