Isaiah George - NHL News & Rumors

Sent down Monday George was loaned to AHL Bridgeport on Monday.

Impact George got his first taste of NHL action last year by making 33 regular-season appearances for the Islanders. He recorded a goal, four assists, 34 blocked shots, 14 hits and six PIM while averaging 15:39 of ice time, but he'll be left off the team's Opening Night roster ahead of the 2025-26 campaign. However, he'll likely be one of the first defensemen in the mix for a call-up if the team deals with injuries at some point.

Sent down Friday George was demoted to AHL Bridgeport on Friday.

Impact George is pointless in his last 12 games with the Islanders, registering 13 shots, eight hits and six blocks while averaging just 12:43 of ice time. With the team picking Adam Boqvist off waivers Friday, in addition to the additions of Scott Perunovich and Tony DeAngelo, the 20-year-old George became expendable -- though he figures to be in the mix for a full-time NHL role next season.

Set to play Tuesday George (upper body) is slated to return versus the Senators on Tuesday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Impact George will be back in the lineup following a three-game stint on the shelf due to his upper-body injury. Prior to getting hurt, the youngster was stuck in a four-game pointless streak. The offense hasn't exactly been flowing from the Ontario native this season, as he has managed just five points in 25 outings. As such, fantasy players probably don't need him on their radar, especially in re-draft leagues.

Status uncertain for Tuesday George (upper body) returned to practice Monday, but head coach Patrick Roy doesn't know whether the defenseman will be available for Tuesday's game against the Senators, Stefen Ro...

Impact George has missed the last three games due to his upper-body injury, but it was encouraging to see him back in practice Monday. Roy said that George looked good during Monday's practice session, but the team's medical staff apparently wants to see how he feels afterward before determining his status for Tuesday's matchup. Grant Hutton was sent down Monday, so it wouldn't be surprising to see either George or Alexander Romanov (upper body), who remains day-to-day, back in action against Ottawa.

Still contending with injury George (upper body) will not travel with the team for its upcoming game in Las Vegas on Thursday, Ethan Sears of the New York Post reports.

Impact George is still dealing with the lingering effects of a hit from Max Domi in Thursday's 2-1 loss to Toronto. The 20-year-old George has provided one goal and four helpers through 25 appearances this season. Dennis Cholowski will continue to fill in on the third pairing while George is sidelined. It's not yet known if George will travel to Utah for the team's game Saturday.

Day-to-day Per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com, George (upper body) is day-to-day, coach Patrick Roy said Saturday.

Impact George was in concussion protocol after receiving an elbow to his head, courtesy of Max Domi on Thursday. George will be replaced by Dennis Cholowski on Sunday when the Islanders face Boston. George has one goal, four assists and 30 blocked shots in 25 games.

Going through concussion protocol George is in the concussion protocol after taking an elbow to the head in the second period of Thursday's game versus the Maple Leafs, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Impact No further update was made available on George's status. He was hit by Max Domi in the second and didn't not return to the game. If George can't play Sunday in Boston, Dennis Cholowski will likely enter the lineup.

First NHL goal in hometown George scored a goal Saturday in a 6-3 win over the Maple Leafs in Toronto.

Impact What a way to get your first NHL goal. First, George is from Oakville, which is a Toronto suburb west down the QEW from Scotiabank Arena. And then it stood as the game winner. George took a pass from Anthony Duclair and wired it glove-side of Joseph Woll from the top of the left circle. Chalk it up to a great memory for George and his family, but little more. He has just four points and 27 blocks in 20 games.

Gathers helper in overtime loss George produced an assist in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Capitals.

Impact George has turned things around after a slow start on offense at the NHL level. The 20-year-old defenseman has a helper in three straight contests, and he's maintained top-four minutes in that span. Overall, he's at three assists, eight shots on net, 13 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 12 appearances.

Registers first NHL point George recorded an assist in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings.

Impact George's first point came in his 10th career game, as he earned the secondary helper on a Kyle Palmieri tally in the second period. The 20-year-old George has quickly become a valued part of the Islanders' defense, averaging 19:29 of ice time per game. He's added eight shots on net, 12 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating, though his offense could be limited since the team has scored just 2.45 goals per game, the fourth-worst mark in the league.

Makes NHL debut Tuesday George saw 15:41 of ice time in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Penguins.

Impact George was brought up from AHL Bridgeport on Monday as a result of New York dealing with various injuries to its blue line. The 20-year-old didn't look out of place in his first career NHL game, and he was entrusted to defend in a tie game with under two minutes to play in the third period. The left-shot blueliner is an extremely smooth skater, and that trait appears to be the foundation of George's game. The 2022 fourth-round selection could get an extended look with New York while Alexander Romanov and Mike Reilly work their way back from upper-body injuries.
