  • Islanders' Jonathan Drouin: Scores tying goal

    Drouin scored a goal in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Mammoth.

    The goal was technically an own goal by the Mammoth, so Drouin scored without officially recording a shot on goal in this contest. It was initially waved off for a kicking motion before a video review ruled Drouin was not the one to propel the puck into the net. The 30-year-old is up to two goals and five assists during his four-game point streak. For the season, the forward has three goals, 14 points, 21 shots on net, 17 PIM and a plus-7 rating through 17 appearances.

  • Islanders' Matthew Schaefer: Youngest ever to score in overtime

    Schaefer scored the game-winning goal and added two PIM in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Mammoth.

    Per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet, Schaefer is the youngest player in NHL history to score a goal in overtime, besting a record held by Sidney Crosby by a mere 31 days. The legend of Schaefer continues to grow -- he's earned four points over his last three games and remains one of the Islanders' steadiest blueliners in all aspects of the game. He's up to seven goals, including two game-winners, and 15 points while adding 54 shots on net, 21 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating across 18 appearances this season.

  • Islanders' David Rittich: Secures overtime win

    Rittich stopped 27 of 29 shots in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Mammoth.

    Rittich had gone three games without a start, matching his longest stint on the bench this season. He had to play in the second half of a back-to-back, which saw the Islanders start a little sluggish and then find their way into the game later. Rittich is 4-2-0 on the year, and he's allowed exactly two goals in each of his victories while struggling more heavily in his losses. Ilya Sorokin will still get the bulk of the starts for the Islanders and will likely handle an immensely challenging start Sunday in Colorado.

    Blues' Cam Fowler: Crosses 500-point mark in career

    Fowler supplied a pair of assists, three blocked shots and two shots on goal in Friday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Flyers.

    Fowler's first helper of the game was the 500th point of his career. The 33-year-old defenseman has earned six assists over his last eight outings, so it looks like he's thawing out after a relatively cold start to the campaign. Overall, he has eight helpers, 27 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating across 18 appearances while maintaining a top-four role.

  • Justin Faulk D | STL

    Blues' Justin Faulk: Pots goal in shootout loss

    Faulk scored a goal in Friday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Flyers.

    Faulk has put together a strong November with three goals and three assists over seven games this month. He gave the Blues a 3-1 lead with his second-period tally in this contest. Faulk is up to four goals, 10 points, 32 shots on net, 17 hits, 38 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 18 appearances this season. As long as he continues to chip in fairly steady offense, the 33-year-old blueliner will carry plenty of fantasy value through his category coverage.

  • Dylan Holloway LW | STL

    Blues' Dylan Holloway: Goal streak up to three games

    Holloway scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Flyers.

    Holloway scored for his third straight game. The 24-year-old has had a bumpy start to 2025-26, but this recent stretch suggests he's finding his way again. Overall, Holloway has produced five goals, four assists, 41 shots on net, 48 hits, 14 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating through 18 appearances.

  • Blues' Jimmy Snuggerud: One of each in shootout loss

    Snuggerud scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Friday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Flyers.

    The tally snapped a six-game goal drought Snuggerud, during which he was limited to one assist. The Blues' overall struggles have prevented Snuggerud from being a standout rookie so far this year. He's still done a decent job with five goals, five helpers, 36 shots on net, 14 hits, 13 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 18 appearances. There's more offense to be had here, but it could take a couple of seasons before the 21-year-old reaches his full potential.

  • Jordan Kyrou C | STL

    Blues' Jordan Kyrou: Two-point effort Friday

    Kyrou scored a goal on five shots and added an assist in Friday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Flyers.

    Kyrou capitalized on a turnover just 1:19 into the game for the first goal, and he also set up a Dylan Holloway tally in the third. That's three points in three games for Kyrou since he was scratched for one contest, though the Blues have still lost twice since he sat out, which suggests head coach Jim Montgomery's message to the team as a whole hasn't fully gotten through. Kyrou is at six goals, 11 points, 43 shots on net and a minus-7 rating across 17 appearances, but he remains firmly in a top-six role.

  • Blues' Robert Thomas: Pair of points in shootout loss

    Thomas scored a goal and added an assist in Friday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Flyers.

    Thomas has five points over six games since he returned from an upper-body injury. The 26-year-old has had a somewhat slow start on offense this year, so it's encouraging to see his scoring pace improve a bit. He's at three goals, 11 points, 20 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating over 14 appearances this season.

  • Blues' Jordan Binnington: Handed shootout loss

    Binnington stopped 26 of 31 shots in Friday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Flyers.

    Binnington had three separate leads to protect in this game, but he squandered each of them. The Flyers' line of Trevor Zegras, Christian Dvorak and Owen Tippett did virtually all of the damage, and it was Zegras who had the lone tally in the shootout to finish off the game. In November, Binnington has gone 2-1-1 with 13 goals allowed over four games, and he's at a 4-5-3 record with a 3.34 GAA and an .869 save percentage over 13 appearances. The Blues play again Saturday versus the Golden Knights, and it'll likely be Joel Hofer in goal for that tough matchup.
