Shabanov (lower body) is set to miss Saturday's game against Montreal, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.

EDGE Analysis

Shabanov hasn't been in the lineup since March 13. He has four goals and 16 points in 42 outings in 2025-26. Shabanov is likely to be in the mix for a bottom-six spot once he's healthy.

Shabanov (lower body) isn't expected to play Thursday versus Ottawa, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.

EDGE Analysis

Shabanov is slated to miss his third straight game. He has four goals and 16 points in 42 outings in 2025-26. His next chance to return will come Saturday in Montreal.

Shabanov (lower body) remains day-to-day and isn't expected to play against Toronto on Tuesday, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.

EDGE Analysis

Shabanov has played in only two of the last 12 games, so there's no guarantee that he will return to the lineup once he's healthy. He has contributed four goals, 16 points, 54 shots on net and 24 hits in 42 appearances this season.

Shabanov didn't participate in Monday's practice session and is considered day-to-day due to a lower-body injury.

EDGE Analysis

Shabanov hasn't been a mainstay in the Islanders' lineup over the past few weeks, but he's now dealing with an injury, and it's unclear whether he'll be an option for Tuesday's game in Toronto. He's made 15 appearances since the start of the calendar year, recording four assists, six hits and six blocked shots while averaging 13:10 of ice time.

Shabanov logged an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Shabanov had been scratched for two of the previous five games, and he had gone eight straight contests without a point. The 25-year-old winger has mostly been a regular in the lineup when healthy, earning 16 points, 47 shots on net, 23 hits and a minus-4 rating through 39 appearances. Shabanov is currently in a bottom-six role and may slip out of the lineup once Calum Ritchie (lower body) and Casey Cizikas (illness) return.

Shabanov notched two assists, including one on the power play, in Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Mammoth.

EDGE Analysis

Shabanov has four points over his last three games. The 25-year-old was in a six-game slump prior to this stretch, and he was scratched once during that dry spell. He's now at 14 points (five on the power play), 34 shots on net, 18 hits and a minus-4 rating across 28 appearances. Shabanov will need to stay productive to work his way into the picture for fantasy managers.

Shabanov scored a goal in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Shabanov tied the game 1-1 at the 17:16 mark of the first period with a wrister, giving him four goals on the season. The 25-year-old winger currently holds a bottom-six role in the Islanders' lineup, so he's not expected to carry a lot of fantasy appeal in most formats. In fact, this was Shabanov's first point since he was credited with an assist in a 5-4 shootout win over the Golden Knights on Dec. 9, and he hadn't scored since his three-point game versus the Red Wings on Nov. 20.

Shabanov scored two goals and added an assist in Thursday's 5-0 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

The Islanders' fourth line carried the scoring load, as Shabanov, Calum Ritchie and Casey Cizikas combined for three goals and seven points on the night. It was Shabanov's first multi-point performance in nine NHL games, and the 25-year-old rookie has three goals and six points to kick off his first season on Long Island.

Shabanov (upper body) will return to the lineup against Colorado on Sunday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shabanov will skate on the fourth line and work on the second power-play unit after missing the last 12 games. He has one goal, three points, eight shots on net and five hits through six appearances this season. Shabanov will replace Maxim Tsyplakov in Sunday's lineup versus the Avalanche.

Shabanov (upper body) is not with the Islanders for Monday's road game versus the Devils but will join the team ahead of a trip to Vegas on Thursday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shabanov is far from a lock to play Thursday and could just be traveling with the team in order to start practicing. Prior to his nine-game absence, the 25-year-old winger was starting to find his groove with assists in back-to-back contests.
