Impact Shabanov will skate on the fourth line and work on the second power-play unit after missing the last 12 games. He has one goal, three points, eight shots on net and five hits through six appearances this season. Shabanov will replace Maxim Tsyplakov in Sunday's lineup versus the Avalanche.

Joining trip out west Shabanov (upper body) is not with the Islanders for Monday's road clash with the Devils but will join the team ahead of a trip to Vegas on Thursday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com report...

Impact Shabanov is far from a lock to play right away in Thursday's tilt and could just be traveling with the team in order to start practicing. Prior to his nine-game absence, the 25-year-old winger was starting to find his groove with points in back-to-back contests.

Not close to return Shabanov (upper body) isn't close to returning to the lineup, according to Andrew Gross of Newsday on Sunday.

Impact Shabanov has resumed skating, but he will miss his sixth straight game against Columbus on Sunday. It's still unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. Shabanov has contributed one goal, two assists, eight shots on net and five hits over six appearances this season.

No traveling with Isles Shabanov (upper body) has yet to resume skating and will miss New York's three-game road trip, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports Monday.

Impact Shabanov has already missed two games due to his upper-body issue and now will be out of action for at least three more. Prior to his absence, the 25-year-old winger was stuck in a five-game goal drought during which he recorded two helpers, seven shots and five hits while averaging 12:06 of ice time. Once cleared to return, Shabanov should be capable of securing a middle-six role the rest of the way.

Won't play Saturday Shabanov (upper body) won't play against Philadelphia on Saturday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Impact Shabanov will miss his second straight game, and it's unclear when he will be ready to return. He has contributed one goal, two assists, eight shots on net and five hits in six appearances this season. Due to Shabanov's absence, Kyle MacLean will play against the Flyers on Saturday.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Thursday Shabanov (upper body) has been ruled out of Thursday's tilt versus Detroit, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Impact Shabanov missed practice Wednesday. He has one goal and two assists in six contests this season. Shabanov came over this season from the KHL where he had 23 goals and 67 points in 65 games with Chelyabinsk in 2024-25. Look for Kyle MacLean to enter the lineup in place of Shabanov on Thursday.

OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time call for Thursday Shabanov (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Thursday's clash against Detroit, per Andrew Gross of Newsday on Wednesday.

Impact Shabanov didn't attend Wednesday's practice, and while his absence was described as being for maintenance, it seems the 25-year-old might still end up missing a game due to whatever kept him off the ice. Shabanov has a goal and three points in six appearances this year. If he can't play Thursday, then Kyle MacLean might draw back into the lineup.

Pots first goal in NHL debut Shabanov scored his first career goal in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Penguins.

Impact Signed by the Islanders out of the KHL in July, the 25-year-old winger saw just 9:45 of ice time in his NHL debut, the lowest mark on the team, but Shabanov made it count by snapping a one-timer past Tristan Jarry inside the final minute of the second period to tie the game at 3-3. Shabanov's small stature could prevent him from making a consistent impact in North America at the top level, but he has clear offensive skills and finished third in the KHL scoring race last season with 67 points (23 goals, 44 assists) in 65 games. The Isles have a crying need in their top six for some skill to support Mathew Barzal and Bo Horvat, and Shabanov could see his grow role once he gets comfortable in his new environment.
