Clutterbuck set the NHL record for most hits in a career with 3,635 during the win over the Maple Leafs on Monday, Andrew Gross of Newsday.
EDGE Analysis
Clutterbuck had nine hits during the overtime win to set the record. Dustin Brown, who retired from the Kings after last season, had the prior record with 3,632. While this does sound impressive, it does need to be taken with a grain of salt, as the NHL has only kept track of this record since the 2005-06 season.

Clutterbuck scored a goal during Thursday's 5-4 loss to the host Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Appearing like the Predators were threatening to turn Thursday's matchup into a rout, Clutterbuck cut the slow-starting Islanders' second-period deficit to 4-2. The 34-year-old right winger connected on his first tally in 14 appearances and claimed points in consecutive outings for the first time this season.

Clutterbuck is 12 hits away from being the all-time leader in NHL history, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
The current leader is former King Dustin Brown, who retired with 3,632 hits. Clutterbuck sits at 3,621, entering the game Thursday versus the Predators. While Clutterbuck won't see the record Thursday, Monday in Toronto, or Wednesday at home versus the Oilers seem extremely likely. While any record is impressive, it is important to realize that the NHL has only been keeping track of hits since the 2005-06 season.

Clutterbuck (undisclosed) should be in the lineup Thursday versus the Coyotes, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Islanders guard their injuries as much as any team in the NHL, if not more, so we don't know why Clutterbuck didn't play Tuesday. What we do know is that it wasn't related to the shoulder surgery that Clutterbuck had during the offseason. Whatever is bothering Clutterbuck will have to be monitored from this point forward, but he is expected to play on his usual line with Casey Cizikas and Matt Martin.

Clutterbuck leads the team in hits with 38 through eight games this season.
EDGE Analysis
This is somewhat of a surprise, as Clutterbuck was rehabbing from shoulder surgery this past offseason. Apparently, the shoulder feels great, as not only do those 38 hits lead the Islanders, but they are also second overall in the NHL. Clutterbuck trails only Evander Kane of the Edmonton Oilers, who has 39.

Clutterbuck on Tuesday capped the Islanders' 5-2 victory over the Sharks with an empty-net goal.
EDGE Analysis
Clutterbuck sealed the victory with his first goal of the season. The 34-year-old right winger dressed for the second time and converted a rare goal. Since scoring 15 goals in 77 games during 2015-16, Clutterbuck has collected just 35 goals in 361 outings. He added two shots on goal and three hits Tuesday.
