Islanders' Jesse Nurmi: Racks up three more points
Nurmi scored twice and added an assist in OHL London's 5-4 overtime win over Niagara on Friday.
Nurmi has four multi-point efforts over his last six games. He needed a little time to adjust back to the OHL after some ECHL time earlier in the season, but he's already picked up 11 goals and eight helpers over 14 appearances. Nurmi should continue to play a significant role for London for the remainder of the campaign.

Islanders' Casey Cizikas: Pots goal Thursday
Cizikas scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Devils.
Cizikas opened the scoring at 6:30 of the second period. This was his first point in four games since he missed one due to an illness. For the season, he has seven goals, 15 points, 49 shots on net, 109 hits, 41 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 57 outings in a fourth-line role. He's two points away from matching his 82-game total last year and is on pace to reach the 20-point mark for the third time in four years.

Islanders' Mathew Barzal: Deposits empty-netter
Barzal scored an empty-net goal and added two hits in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Devils.
Barzal has scored in six of the last seven games, totaling six goals and four assists in that span. The 28-year-old is up to 17 goals, 34 helpers, 124 shots on net, 43 PIM, 36 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating over 57 appearances. He's reached the 50-point mark in seven of his nine NHL seasons, and he continues to be a steady top-line scorer for the Islanders.

Islanders' Bo Horvat: Two points including winner
Horvat scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Thursday's 3-1 victory over the Devils.
The veteran center broke a 1-1 tie late in the third period when he won a faceoff in the New Jersey zone, emerged from the scrum with the puck and slipped a backhand past Jake Allen. Horvat will take some momentum with him to Milan as he joins Team Canada for the Olympics, having racked up three goals and seven points over the last six games.

Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Sharp in win No. 20
Sorokin made 23 saves in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Devils.
A Nico Hischier tally late in the second period spoiled Sorokin's shutout bid, but the veteran netminder still heads into the Olympic break having put himself on the fringes of the Vezina conversation. Sorokin sits in the top 10 in wins (20, tied for 10th), GAA (2.44, eighth), and save percentage (.916, tied for third), and he leads the NHL with six shutouts.

Islanders' Victor Eklund: Reaches 15-point mark in SHL
Eklund scored a goal in Djurgardens' 2-1 win over Farjestad on Thursday in the SHL.
Eklund is up to three goals and 15 points over 33 outings in his first SHL season. The Islanders prospect also had eight points in seven games for Sweden at the World Junior Championship. The winger's lack of goals shouldn't be a concern considering the strength and defensive reputation of the SHL, though it'll be interesting to see if he can grow his offense in the latter part of the season.

Islanders' Calum Ritchie: Cleared to play Thursday
Ritchie (lower body) will return to the lineup Thursday in New Jersey, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
It was thought that the Islanders would sit Ritchie one more game in order to give him the extra time off during the Olympic break, but Ritchie is expected to see second-line time between Emil Heineman and Jonathan Drouin, as well as first-unit power-play time. Ritchie had seven goals and 15 points in 40 games prior to missing six games with his injury.

Pelech logged an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Penguins.
Pelech has earned three assists and a plus-5 rating over his last six games. The 31-year-old doesn't add much on offense, but he's providing steady defensive play in a top-four role as a shutdown blueliner. For the season, he's at 10 points, 81 shots on net, 100 blocked shots, 37 hits, 30 PIM and a plus-8 rating across 57 outings.

Islanders' Ryan Pulock: Nets tying goal
Pulock scored a goal on two shots, added three hits and blocked four shots in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Penguins.
Pulock has two goals and four assists over his last 13 games. The steady defenseman continues to fill a top-pairing role alongside Matthew Schaefer, which makes for an excellent two-way duo on the blue line. Pulock is up to three goals, 23 points, 68 shots on net, 103 blocks, 38 hits and a plus-11 rating over 55 appearances. He has matched his point total from 74 outings in 2024-25, and he has a chance to get over the 30-point mark for the first time since 2019-20.

Islanders' Matthew Schaefer: One of each in overtime win
Schaefer scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Penguins.
Schaefer has three goals and two assists over the last five contests. He tallied late in the first period and helped out on a Bo Horvat goal in overtime in this effort, which was Schaefer's first multi-point outing since Jan. 19 versus the Canucks. The 18-year-old blueliner is up to 16 goals and 39 points through 57 appearances, with both of those scoring marks ranking third among all rookies. He's added 137 shots on net, 76 blocks, 28 PIM, 26 hits and a plus-7 rating. At this pace, he could take a run at Brian Leetch's record for goals by a rookie defenseman (23 in 1988-89).

Islanders' Mathew Barzal: Puts up three points Tuesday
Barzal scored a goal on four shots, dished two assists and went plus-4 in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Penguins.
Barzal was a big part of the offense late in the game. His goal tied it at 3-3, and he set up Ryan Pulock for another equalizer before feeding Bo Horvat on a breakaway for the game-winner in overtime. Barzal has earned four multi-point efforts and a total of five goals and seven assists over his last nine outings. For the season, the 28-year-old forward is up to 16 goals, 50 points, 123 shots on net, 36 blocked shots, 43 PIM and a plus-11 rating over 56 appearances in a top-six role. Barzal's career high in goals is 23, and that's a mark he's poised to challenge over the remainder of the campaign.

Islanders' Bo Horvat: Three points in overtime win
Horvat scored twice on three shots, added an assist, logged two hits, blocked two shots and went plus-5 in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Penguins.
The Islanders kept Horvat and Mathew Barzal together for a second game, and it paid off big. This was Horvat's first multi-point effort since Dec. 9 versus Vegas, which was prior to a pair of lower-body injuries that cost him a total of 14 contests. The center has five points over seven outings since returning from the second injury, and he's at a total of 23 goals (four game-winners), 38 points, 138 shots on net, 33 hits, 23 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a plus-7 rating over 43 appearances this season.

Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Claims overtime win
Sorokin stopped 31 of 35 shots in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers.
Sorokin has four wins over his last six games, but he's allowed at least three goals in four of those outings. While he hasn't had the sharpest performances, he's still getting results. The 30-year-old netminder is up to 19-13-2 with a 2.48 GAA and a .915 save percentage over 34 starts this season. The Islanders head into the Olympic break after their next game, which is Thursday versus the Devils.
