Expects to be ready for 2024-25 Mayfield, who suffered a fractured ankle in the season opener, should be ready for the 2024-25 campaign, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports Friday.

Impact Mayfield told reporters that his ankle injury never fully healed, which forced him to undergo surgery in February. Despite his ankle problem, the veteran blueliner still appeared in 41 games this year, recording five assists, 70 hits and 36 shots in 41 contests.

Season officially over Mayfield (lower body) underwent season-ending surgery, the team announced Tuesday.

Impact The Isles didn't provide any clarification on the specific nature of Mayfield's lower-body injury but did say it wouldn't impact his offseason training program. The blueliner is in the first season of a seven-year deal he signed with the Isles in July of 2023. Even when healthy, Mayfield won't offer much in the way of fantasy value considering he has reached the 20-point threshold just once in his NHL career.

Day-to-day with leg injury Mayfield is considered day-to-day with a leg injury after blocking a shot against Buffalo on Saturday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Impact Mayfield played just 16:47 of ice time Saturday, which would have been his sixth-lowest minutes total compared to last season. The 31-year-old blueliner is coming off a career year in which he set personal bests in goals (six) and assists (18), marks that he may be hard-pressed to get back to this season. If Mayfield can't play versus Arizona on Tuesday, Samuel Bolduc figures to slot into the third-pairing in Mayfield's stead.

Two points in Game 3 win Mayfield picked up a goal and an assist Friday in a 5-1 win over the Hurricanes during Game 3 of the Islanders' first-round series.

Impact Both points came in the third period as the Isles broke open a 1-1 tie and set a record for the fastest four goals in playoff history. Mayfield isn't known for his offensive prowess -- he was held off the scoresheet in the first two games of the postseason, and he hasn't had a multi-point performance since Nov. 12 -- but his physical presence in his own end could be key to the Isles getting back into the series as he's racked up 10 hits and six blocked shots heading into Game 4 on Sunday.
