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.

Igor Shesterkin - Turns aside 17 shots Shesterkin stopped 17 of 19 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.

Impact Shesterkin was perfect in the first period before the Islanders struck twice in a span of 1:56 early in the second, with Bo Horvat scoring on the power play and Calum Ritchie tying the contest at 2-2. Shesterkin shut the door from there, stopping all seven shots he faced in the third while the Rangers pulled away. He finished with 17 saves to earn his third consecutive win, and the Rangers have won their last four contests since dropping the season opener against Boston on Sept. 29. In his four appearances, Shesterkin has stopped 89 of the 96 shots he's faced, good for a 92.7 save percentage.

GAME HIGHLIGHTS | 2026-27: New York Rangers vs. New York Islanders (10/06/26)

Oliver Bjorkstrand - Scores twice vs. Islanders Bjorkstrand scored two goals on three shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.

Impact Bjorkstrand opened the scoring at 6:40 of the first period before striking again on the power play late in the second. His second tally broke a 2-2 tie after the Islanders had erased a two-goal deficit and ultimately stood as the game-winner. These were Bjorkstrand's first two goals of the season, but as a bottom-six forward who rarely sees more than 13 minutes of ice time, he isn't expected to be a regular fantasy contributor going forward. This two-goal performance is likely to be an outlier rather than a sign of things to come in the future.

Alexis Lafreniere - Scores hat trick, tallies four points Lafreniere scored three goals on three shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.

Impact Lafreniere assisted on Oliver Bjorkstrand's opening goal, then scored 25 seconds into the second period to make it 2-0. The 24-year-old winger saved his last two goals for the final stretch, scoring two empty-netters as the Islanders pushed for an equalizer late in the third period. Lafreniere hadn't scored in his previous four appearances this season, but with eight shots in that span, and three goals in this contest, he figures to remain a valuable fantasy contributor as a top-six forward for the Rangers.
