Calum Ritchie - Facing 4-6 week absence Ritchie (lower body) will be out of action for 4-6 weeks, the team announced Monday.

Impact Ritchie is currently mired in a five-game pointless streak during which he has generated four blocks, two shots and two PIM while averaging 10:38 of ice time. With the 21-year-old forward sidelined long-term, he likely will be placed on injured reserve in the coming days to free up a roster spot. For now, Mitchell Chaffee could get an extended run at the NHL level with both Ritchie and Matias Maccelli (lower body) dealing with injuries.

Matias Maccelli - Out 2-4 weeks Maccelli (lower body) will miss the next 2-4 weeks, the team announced Monday.

Impact Maccelli suffered a lower-body injury in Saturday's 4-1 win over Toronto. He has contributed two goals, six points and 13 shots on net in eight appearances with the Islanders this season.

Matias Maccelli - Set to miss one week Maccelli (lower body) will not be an option for the Islanders' next three contests, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports Monday.

Impact Maccelli was riding a five-game point streak before he was injured in Saturday's clash with the Maple Leafs. Last year, the 26-year-old winger registered 14 goals and 25 helpers in 71 regular-season games, just missing the 40-point mark. Barring an extended stint on the shelf, Maccelli should be capable of challenging for that threshold again in 2026-27.

Calum Ritchie - Won't play this week Head coach Pete DeBoer said Monday that Ritchie (lower body) won't play this week, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Impact Ritchie sustained a lower-body injury during Saturday's matchup against Toronto, and he's facing a multi-game absence. Matias Maccelli (lower body) has also been ruled out this week, so Kyle MacLean and Mitchell Chaffee will likely have opportunities to step up for the Islanders over the next few games.

Alexander Romanov - Shifts to IR Romanov (knee) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

Impact Romanov's placement on injured reserve shouldn't come as a surprise, considering the defenseman is not expected back until mid-April at the earliest. With Matias Maccelli (lower body) and Calum Ritchie (lower body) both dealing with injuries, the Isles used the open roster spot from Romanov's IR placement to bring up Mitchell Chaffee.

Mitchell Chaffee - Elevated from minors Chaffee was recalled from AHL Hamilton on Monday.

Impact Chaffee is off to a strong start in the minors, racking up four goals and two assists through six minor-league games with the Hammers. As such, the 28-year-old winger seems to have earned his promotion to the big club. In a corresponding move, the Isles put Alexander Romanov (knee) on injured reserve.

Malte Gustafsson - Mixed results early in SHL season Gustafsson has four assists and a minus-8 rating over 10 games with HV71 of the SHL to begin the 2026-27 season.

Impact Notably, Gustafsson has already surpassed his point total from 27 regular-season games in 2025-26 (three assists). That shows growth for the 18-year-old defenseman, who is getting tested in a men's league for the second year in a row. His long-term value will be in his shutdown work, not his offense, which could lead to him being a decent option in banger leagues in a few years.

Ilya Sorokin - Cream always rises to top Sorokin made 26 saves in a 4-1 victory over the Maple Leafs on Saturday.

Impact Sorokin was strong when he needed to be, and his defense did an outstanding job in keeping lanes open and the Leafs to the outside. He was especially strong in the third when Toronto outshot New York 13-3. Sorokin is 4-2-0 in six starts this season. His .940 save percentage is fourth-best in the NHL, and his 1.68 GAA is fifth. He's long been the third wheel in the discussion of the best Russian goalie in the NHL. But this could be the season Sorokin rises to the top given Igor Shesterkin's (lower body) injury and Andrei Vasilevskiy's sluggish start.

Anthony Duclair - Smart goal in win Duclair scored a goal in Saturday's 4-1 win over Toronto.

Impact It was a goal scorer's goal. Duclair changed the angle in the slot and caught Sergei Bobrovsky moving his feet as he went back across his body with the shot. Duclair is toiling on the Isles third line, and he has two goals on nine shots in eight games this season. But both Calum Ritchie (lower body) and Matias Maccelli (lower body) left Saturday's game early, and the team may need a guy with Duclair's talent to step up the lineup if either of those forwards is out long.

Simon Holmstrom - Two goals as ice time spikes Holmstrom scored two goals Saturday in a 4-1 victory over the Maple Leafs.

Impact He fired two shots and finished plus-3, and played Mr. Versatility when two Islanders forwards were lost early to injury. Holmstrom's ice time ballooned to 20:01 from a season average of 16:26. And his first goal came while filling a spot alongside Bo Horvat in the top six. His second was an empty netter, as he was once again trusted to be on the ice late to help preserve the lead. Holmstrom may be a wise waiver pickup if both Calum Ritchie (lower body) and Matias Maccelli (lower body) are out for any length of time. He has delivered at least 41 points in two straight seasons, and he has 39 goals in that span.

Bo Horvat - Mr Consistency leads way in win Horvat had a goal and an assist Saturday in a 4-1 victory over Toronto. He also had two hits.

Impact Horvat's rebound goal in the second stood as the winner in a game that saw his ice time spike to 24:21 after two Isles forwards went down with injury. Horvat has been incredibly consistent this season -- he has been held off the scoresheet just once in eight games, and he has delivered five goals, four assists, four power-play points (three PPG), 19 hits and 26 shots overall. Horvat is producing like he did in Vancouver in 2022-23 before he was traded to the Isles.
