Matthew Highmore - NHL News & Rumors

Returned to AHL Highmore was reassigned to AHL Bridgeport on Friday, according to Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

Impact Highmore was recalled Thursday and was a healthy scratch in the Islanders 7-2 win over Detroit. The 29-year-old has four assists in four AHL games this season.

Up from minors Highmore was promoted from AHL Bridgeport on Thursday.

Impact Highmore has four assists in four outings with Bridgeport this season. Marc Gatcomb, who was a healthy scratch in New York's past four games, was sent to the minors in a corresponding move. Highmore might see use as a member of the Islanders' bottom six, but it's also possible that he'll spend most, or all, of his stint with the Islanders as a healthy scratch.

Lands on waivers Highmore was placed on waivers by the Islanders on Tuesday, per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

Impact Highmore produced two goals and four helpers over 41 regular-season appearances with the Senators last year, and he also notched 10 points in 23 games with AHL Belleville. Highmore will report to AHL Bridgeport if another team does not claim him on the waiver wire.

Signs two-way with Isles Highmore signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Islanders, the team announced Tuesday.

Impact Highmore played 41 games, scoring two goals and four assists, with the Senators last season. However, the 29-year-old has opted to sign a two-way contract with the Islanders for his next deal. It seems like the center will start next season in the minors, but he'll likely be one of the top call-up options for the big club next season.

Provides insurance tally Saturday Highmore scored an empty-net goal and went plus-1 in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Panthers.

Impact This was Highmore's first goal since Jan. 12, a span of 33 games between tallies. He had just four helpers, 29 shots on goal, 41 hits, 18 blocked shots, six PIM and a minus-7 rating during that stretch, so he doesn't provide enough value in non-scoring categories to warrant much consideration in the fantasy realm. The 29-year-old has contributed two goals and six points while averaging 11:10 of ice time over 36 appearances in 2024-25, mainly in a fourth-line role.

Snaps slump with assist Highmore recorded an assist and two hits in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Red Wings.

Impact Highmore set up Michael Amadio's third-period tally, which stood as the game-winner. The assist ended a 17-game dry spell for Highmore, who had just 11 shots on net and a minus-8 rating in that span. The 29-year-old has at least maintained a fourth-line role, but his lack of production makes him too risky to trust in fantasy. For the season, he's at five points, 28 shots on net, 36 hits, 16 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating across 31 appearances.

Struggling to score Highmore's point drought reached 10 games in Monday's 2-1 win over the Red Wings.

Impact In that span, Highmore has eight shots on net, a minus-6 rating and 11 hits. The 29-year-old forward is locked in on the fourth line, but steady playing time is unlikely to lead to much offense given the strength of the Senators' top six. Highmore is at four points, 24 shots on net, 22 hits and a minus-6 rating through 23 contests overall.

Records assist Monday Highmore registered an assist in Monday's 5-2 win over the Predators.

Impact Highmore has three helpers over his last eight contests. The 28-year-old has a chance to stick in the lineup in a bottom-six role since Nick Cousins (knee), Noah Gregor (lower body) and Josh Norris (undisclosed) are all out. Highmore shouldn't be expected to do much with limited minutes, but he's already at four points, 16 shots on net and 11 hits across 13 outings this season.
