Impact Sorokin started nine of the team's last 11 contests in which he posted a 6-1-2 record and 2.43 GAA. With the Isles mired in a battle for a playoff spot, the 27-year-old backstop figures to see heavy usage down the stretch with Semyon Varlamov relegated to the No. 2 role.

Zach Parise - Nets goal vs. Devils Parise found the back of the net in a 5-1 victory over New Jersey on Monday.
Impact Parise traditionally hasn't been especially notable against his first NHL team. In 18 career games versus the Devils, he now has five goals and 11 points. The 38-year-old's best campaigns are well behind him, but he's been a decent member of the Islanders' supporting cast in 2022-23 with 21 goals and 32 points in 75 outings. Parise is also on quite the roll, providing five goals and six points over his last six appearances.

Bo Horvat - Earns power-play helper Horvat recorded a power-play assist in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets.
Impact The former Canucks captain averaged 3.2 points per 60 minutes through 49 games with Vancouver prior to his trade to the Islanders, which was far and away the best stretch of his career. However, the change of scenery has been rather challenging for Horvat. He has five goals and the same number of assists through 21 games with the Isles. which is a far cry from the pace that he'd been on previously. Horvat has a career-worst shooting percentage (8.1) with his new team, and the absence of Mathew Barzal (lower body) makes that top line less of a threat.

Scott Mayfield - Picks apple in third straight game Mayfield posted an assist in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets.
Impact This was the third straight game with a helper for Mayfield, with the physical defenseman reaching 20 points for the first time in his career. He's also tacked on 99 hits and 148 blocked shots, but that's not nearly as surprising as Mayfield taking such a drastic leap forward offensively. An increase in ice time -- 20:56 on average -- and a greater volume of shots (103) factor into Mayfield's surge.

Adam Pelech - Gets help on helper Pelech was credited with an assist in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets.
Impact Upon finding an open lane, Pelech fired the puck at the net and teammate Kyle Palmieri squared up at the doorstep for the deflected goal. It wasn't the prettiest way to get his team on the scoreboard, but between the helper, three blocked shots and four shots on goal, Pelech ended up with a fairly strong fantasy performance. The top-pairing defenseman has five goals, 14 assists and a plus-15 rating through 52 games.

Semyon Varlamov - Loses in first start in two weeks Varlamov made 33 saves in a 2-0 loss to Buffalo on Saturday.
Impact Varlamov allowed just one goal by Kyle Okposo, who was gifted the puck in tight when a shot from the right point deflected off Anders Lee and onto his stick. The netminder had no time to react and Okposo put it in off the near post. It was Varlamov's first start in two weeks -- it's hard to get ice time behind Ilya Sorokin, one of the NHL's best at his craft.
