Maccelli had to be helped off the ice after suffering a lower-body injury while being tripped by Darren Raddysh in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs. The 26-year-old Maccelli has played well to start the 2026-27 season, scoring six points (2G / 4A) in eight games and has been a fixture on the team's top powerplay unit.

Varlamov made his season debut last week, returning to the crease for the first time in nearly two years, and will face the Ottawa Senators on Thursday. The veteran 38-year-old goalie shook off some rust, allowing three goals on 22 shots (.864 SV%) in a 5-2 loss to the New York Rangers, and hopes to return to form with one game under his belt. The Islanders enter action on Thursday as +144 road underdogs against a Senators team off to an impressive 5-2-0 start.
The Islanders are off to a subpar 2-3-0 start this season, but can't fault Sorokin, who has been tremendous between the pipes. The 31-year-old Russian goalie boasts an outstanding 1.77 GAA, .937 SV%, and one shutout in four games this season (2-2-0). He hasn't posted a save percentage above .909 since the 2022-23 season, when he finished as the runner-up for the Vezina Trophy. The Islanders enter Tuesday's contest as sizeable -214 home favourites against a Vancouver Canucks team that has been outscored 35-24 through seven games (2-5-0).

Horvat had two goals in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks, but left the game late with an undisclosed injury. The Islanders, already without Mathew Barzal (knee), can ill-afford to lose Horvat's production for any period. The 31-year-old Horvat has five points (4G / 1A) in four games this season.
Sorokin had the night off in New York's previous game, but he will likely return to the crease on Thursday against the Chicago Blackhawks, looking to build on a strong start to the 2026-27 season. The 31-year-old goalie has been outstanding through two games, despite a 1-1-0 record, saving 61 of 63 combined shots (.968 SV%). Sorokin had the worst save percentage of his career in 2025-26 (.906 SV%) and hopes to improve those totals this season under new Head Coach Pete DeBoer.
