Martin (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Martin is expected to return to the lineup Tuesday versus New Jersey following a five-game absence. The bottom-six winger has accounted for one goal, one assist, 11 shots on net and 31 hits in 14 outings this season.

The Islanders put Martin (upper body) on injured reserve Saturday, retroactive to Nov. 15.

EDGE Analysis

Martin was injured versus the Canucks and the retroactive move allows him to be activated at any time, as more than a week has already passed. Martin has a goal and an assist with 31 hits in 14 games this season.

Martin (upper body) didn't travel with the Islanders to Ottawa, per Andrew Gross of Newsday, and consequently isn't an option for Friday's contest versus the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

This will be New York's fourth consecutive game without Martin. The Islanders will return home after Friday's action, so he still might be available for Saturday's game versus Philadelphia. When Martin is able to return, he'll serve in a fourth-line capacity.

Martin (upper body) won't be available for Saturday's contest against Calgary, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martin will sit out a second straight game due to an upper-body injury. He has one goal, one assist, 11 shots on net and 31 hits through 14 outings this season. With Martin out, Hudson Fasching is projected to play on New York's fourth line again.

Martin (upper body) won't play Thursday versus the Kraken, Ethan Sears of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martin logged just 7:11 of ice time Wednesday versus the Canucks, which is a bit low even compared to his average of 8:27 per game. With Julien Gauthier (illness) also out, Hudson Fasching figures to get into the lineup. Martin can be considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's game in Calgary.

Martin scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Casey Cizikas picked off a clearing attempt and generated a rebound with his shot, which Martin put away for an insurance goal in the third period. The tally was Martin's first goal and second point through seven contests. The heavy-hitting winger has 17 hits, seven shots on net, seven PIM and a plus-2 rating while playing as a fixture on the Islanders' fourth line.

Martin could play on what is technically the third line with Casey Cizikas and Hudson Fasching versus the Capitals on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Martin has been like a pinball of late, playing on different lines with different players. This has included a stint or two on the top line as coach Lane Lambert has been trying to find the right combination of forwards game in and game out. The return of Cal Clutterbuck (upper body) from IR on Saturday also could indicate that it's only a matter of time until the crash line of Martin, Cizikas and Clutterbuck is put back together.

Martin notched an assist, five shots on goal and three hits in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Martin's five shots led the Islanders, who had only 18 attempts on target as a team. The winger continues to chip in offense at a higher-than-usual rate -- he's collected two goals and four helpers over his last seven contests. He's up to 19 points, matching his career-best mark from 2015-16, through 61 games this season. He's also supplied 235 hits, 64 shots on net, 54 PIM and a plus-3 rating. Martin won't produce like this forever, but he's getting a look on the top line at even strength with Mathew Barzal (lower body) out.

Martin logged an assist, three shots on goal, three hits and two PIM in Monday's 4-2 win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

The Islanders are missing a handful of wingers to injury, so Martin should have some job security until the team's health improves. The helper was his fourth point (two goals, two assists) over the last five games -- Martin is definitely making good use of an increased role. The 33-year-old is at 17 points (two shy of his career high) with 58 shots on net, 229 hits, 54 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 59 appearances this season.

Martin scored his sixth goal of the season in the 4-3 loss to the Canadiens on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Martin has already doubled his goal production from last season, and that also goes for his assists. Martin is not relied upon to provide offense on a regular basis, but every little bit helps, especially for a team that can struggle to put the puck in the net at times. Martin also has 211 hits and is on pace to have the most hits he's had in a season since the 2016-17 campaign, and that's where his value lies to the team and fantasy players.
