Brayden Schenn - Helps out on both goals in loss Schenn logged a pair of assists, including one on the power play, and fired two shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Schenn is rolling early in the season with a goal, three assists, seven shots on net and eight hits over three contests. The 35-year-old is playing on the second line, working primarily as a winger while sharing faceoff duties with Calum Ritchie. Schenn brings a good mix of offense and grit to the table, making him a quality option for the lower half of a fantasy roster, especially in formats where he carries multi-position eligibility.

Calum Ritchie - Scores first goal of season Ritchie scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Ritchie tallied in the second period, giving the Islanders a 2-1 lead at the time. He has earned a goal, an assist, five shots on net, two hits and a plus-2 rating across three contests this season. Ritchie is centering the second line, though he has been sharing faceoff duties with Brayden Schenn. The 21-year-old Ritchie held his own with 30 points over 65 regular-season outings last year, and there's potential for him to get above the 40-point mark if he's a consistent part of the top six this season.

Vladislav Gavrikov - Supplies two assists Gavrikov notched two assists, three shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.

Impact Gavrikov has logged consecutive multi-point efforts after going scoreless in the first three games of the year. The defenseman is playing alongside Adam Fox on the top pairing, so Gavrikov should continue to see plenty of ice time, at least at even strength and on the penalty kill. Over five contests, Gavrikov has earned a goal, three assists, seven shots on net, five hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating.

Mika Zibanejad - Logs two helpers in win Zibanejad notched two assists, three shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.

Impact Zibanejad has been pretty good to start the season, earning a goal and four assists over five games. He's added nine shots on net, six hits, five blocked shots and a plus-4 rating while filling a top-six role and a spot on the power play. Zibanejad should continue to be a fairly steady source of offense considering he's earned at least 50 points in eight straight years, including the shortened 2020-21 campaign.
