Marc Gatcomb - NHL News & Rumors

Links up with Vegas Gatcomb signed a contract with the Golden Knights on Wednesday.

Impact While it's not clear if this is a one-way or two-way deal, Gatcomb should have a chance to compete for a fourth-line job in training camp. The 26-year-old put up seven points, 55 shots on net and 192 hits in 49 regular-season outings with the Islanders in 2025-26, but they didn't give him a qualifying offer Monday. Gatcomb will help replace some of the toughness Vegas lost when Cole Smith departed in free agency and Keegan Kolesar was traded to Detroit.

No qualifying offer forthcoming Gatcomb is not expected to receive a qualifying offer from the Islanders on Monday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Impact Gatcomb featured in 49 regular-season games for the Isles this season, registering three goals, four assists and 192 hits. It's possible the team circles back once free agency opens July 1, especially given his physicality. The 26-year-old center doesn't offer enough offensive upside in most formats to justify taking him in fantasy drafts, even with his help in the hits category.

Finds twine in Saturday's loss Gatcomb scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and logged three hits in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Gatcomb has three points over his last five games. The 26-year-old remains in a fourth-line role, and he's unlikely to move up in the lineup this late in the year. He's earned just seven points with 48 shots on net, 183 hits, 24 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 46 appearances, which is not a fantasy-friendly level of production in most formats.

Two points in Saturday's win Gatcomb produced a goal and an assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Panthers.

Impact The 26-year-old fourth liner snapped a 12 -game point drought and a 36-game goal drought with the performance, as he had a hand in the Islanders' first and last tallies during a five-goal second period. Gatcomb has just two goals and six points in 42 contests on the season, but he has dished 175 hits -- tying him for 25th in the NHL despite the fact that he didn't become a regular part of the Isles' lineup until December.

Posts helper Gatcomb logged an assist and three hits in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Rangers.

Impact Gatcomb looked to be slipping into a part-time role last week, but he's retaken a fourth-line spot over Calum Ritchie in the last two games. The 26-year-old Gatcomb ended an 18-game point drought with his helper Wednesday. He's produced just three points with 30 shots on net, 108 hits and a plus-1 rating over 24 outings, so he doesn't need to be rostered in most fantasy formats.

Slipping out of lineup Gatcomb was scratched for the second straight game in Saturday's 5-0 loss to the Sabres.

Impact Gatcomb's role is shrinking with the return of Bo Horvat (lower body), who played Saturday. The Islanders have plenty of depth forwards, and Gatcomb hasn't stood out -- he's stuck in a 17-game point drought currently. The 26-year-old has put up just two points in 22 outings this season, adding 28 shots on net and 102 hits, but the Islanders may be reluctant to expose him to waivers.

Finds twine in win Gatcomb netted a goal and dished out nine hits in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Gatcomb made his presence felt both on the scoresheet and on the ice, as in addition to his second-period goal, he recorded a season-high nine hits. With his effort Tuesday, the 26-year-old forward is up to two points, six shots on net and 29 hits through five games this season. He's making the most of his stint in the NHL in the absence of Jonathan Drouin (back). Once Drouin returns, Gatcomb has a chance to remain with the Islanders instead of returning to AHL Bridgeport, but he'd likely rotate in and out of the lineup. When he does play, Gatcomb offers a premium value in hits per game, but has limited offensive upside.

Logs first assist of season Gatcomb registered an assist and four hits in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Avalanche.

Impact This was Gatcomb's first helper in his second NHL game of the season. He's also produced 11 hits. The 26-year-old has spent a large part of the campaign with AHL Bridgeport after losing his roster spot in October. He will likely fill a part-time role as long as he remains with the big club.

DECEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to NHL Gatcomb has been recalled by the Islanders, the team announced Sunday.

Impact Gatcomb was on the NHL roster to start the season, but he was placed on waivers in late October and has been in the AHL with Bridgeport since. An injury to Kyle Palmieri (knee) has created an opening at the NHL level, and Gatcomb will fill that roster spot. The 26-year-old Gatcomb has eight points (four goals, four assists) in 15 AHL games. It remains to be seen whether he will draw into the lineup right away or serve as the 13th forward for now.
