  • 115-89-26 6th Place
    • Nets first of the playoffs
      Nelson scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-2 Game 3 loss to the Hurricanes.

      Advice: Nelson cut the Islanders' deficit to 3-2 with 2:21 remaining in the second period, burying a rebound past Frederik Andersen, though New York would ultimately come up a goal short in the Game 3 loss. It's the first goal and second point for Nelson in the postseason. The 32-year-old center tallied 34 goals and 69 points in 82 games during the regular season. Rotowire.com Thursday, 8:04 pm
       
    • Pulled in the second
      Sorokin allowed three goals on 14 shots before he was replaced by Semyon Varlamov in the second period of Thursday's 3-2 Game 3 loss to Carolina. Sorokin was credited with the loss.

      Advice: Looking to climb out of a 2-0 hole in the series, the Islanders elected to switch things up and turn to Sorokin in net for Game 3. The 28-year-old netminder allowed two goals on the first six shots he faced in the first period and a third tally to Sebastian Aho 7:14 into the second before he was pulled in favor of Varlamov. Sorokin seemed to be the Islanders' unquestioned starter after signing an eight-year extension prior to the season. However, he was outplayed down the stretch by Varlamov, who took over the top goaltending job heading into the playoffs. Sorokin went 25-19-12 during the regular season with a career-low .908 save percentage and 3.01 GAA. Rotowire.com Thursday, 7:24 pm
       
    • Picks up power-play assist
      McDavid recorded a power-play assist, three hits and two PIM in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings in Game 2.

      Advice: McDavid didn't have much of an encore after a five-assist performance in Game 1. He was limited to a secondary helper on Zach Hyman's tally midway through the second period, as the Kings' defense did a better job of limiting McDavid's chances. The 27-year-old has four shots on net and six hits over two playoff contests, and he should continue to put pressure on the Kings even if it only leads to chances for his teammates.

    • Expected starter for Thursday
      Sorokin is set to start at home against Carolina on Thursday, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.

      Advice: Sorokin had a 25-19-12 record, 3.01 GAA and .908 save percentage in 56 appearances during the regular season. Semyon Varlamov was in net for the first two contests of the Islanders' first-round series and initially appeared to be the projected starter for Game 3 after being the first goaltender off the ice following Wednesday's morning skate, but coach Patrick Roy has indicated New York will make a change in goal. Carolina has a 2-0 series lead and has outscored the Islanders 8-4. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:59 am
       
    • Unavailable against Jets
      Annunen (illness) will not be in the lineup versus Winnipeg on Tuesday, Kyle Fredrickson of The Denver Gazette reports.

      Advice: Annunen probably had a decent chance to start Game 2, but his continued illness will see him once again missing from the bench. In the meantime, Ivan Prosvetov will serve as the No. 2 option behind Alexandar Georgiev against the Jets on Tuesday. If Georgiev struggles again, after giving up seven goals on 23 shots in Game 1, Annunen could challenge for the starting gig, provided he's healthy enough to play in Game 3 on Friday.

    • Distributes five assists in Game 1
      McDavid racked up five assists, including three on the power play, in Monday's 7-4 win over the Kings in Game 1.

      Advice: It's a fitting start to the playoffs in the year that McDavid recorded a 100-assist regular season. He's proven he can still be dominant without scoring a goal, though he'll likely get plenty of looks of his own going forward. McDavid has earned 11 points over his last five contests, with four multi-point efforts in that span. Rotowire.com Monday, 11:27 pm
       
    • Still battling illness
      Annunen (illness) was not at practice Monday, John Lu of TSN reports, raising doubts regarding his availability against Winnipeg for Game 2 on Tuesday.

      Advice: If Annunen were 100 percent, there is certainly a chance he would be between the pipes for Game 2 after starter Alexandar Georgiev gave up seven goals on 23 shots versus the Jets on Sunday. If Annunen can't at least serve as the backup Tuesday, look for Arvid Holm to dress as the No. 2 option behind Georgiev. Rotowire.com Monday, 12:59 pm
       
    • Deposits game-tying goal
      Hughes scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Predators in Game 1.

      Advice: Hughes posted five goals and 17 assists over the final 20 games of the regular season, and he didn't slow down to begin the playoffs. The defenseman's third-period tally tied the game at 2-2, and Dakota Joshua scored 12 seconds later to put the Canucks ahead for good. Hughes took his game to new heights with 17 tallies, 92 points, 199 shots on net and a plus-38 rating over 82 regular-season contests. As captain, he'll be looking to lead from the blue line with the Canucks having home-ice advantage for the first two rounds. Rotowire.com Apr 21, 10:25 pm
