Mayfield tallied a goal, blocked three shots and served two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Mayfield helped the Islanders tie the game at two goals apiece after they lost their 1-0 lead a few minutes prior. The goal was his first of the season, bringing his season totals up to five points, 33 shots on net and 46 blocks through 32 games this year. After a solid start to the year offensively with three points across New York's first seven games, Mayfield has started to get involved once again with two points over the last three contests. His lack of a consistent scoring output leaves him off the fantasy radar, but he remains on track to post his eighth consecutive season with 100-plus blocks.

Mayfield logged an assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Mayfield had gone 22 games without a point, and he also was away from the team for two contests to attend to a personal matter. The 33-year-old defenseman has been a fixture on the third pairing this season, but the Islanders' reliance on their top four has led to little production for him. Mayfield is at four assists, 31 shots on net, 22 hits, 43 blocked shots, 51 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 30 appearances.

Mayfield (personal) was activated from non-roster player status Sunday, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Mayfield should return to the lineup against Colorado on Sunday after missing the last two games due to the birth of his first child. The Islanders cleared a roster spot for him by returning Travis Mitchell to AHL Bridgeport on Saturday. Mayfield has collected three assists, 15 shots on net, 24 blocked shots and 11 hits across 16 appearances this season.

Mayfield (personal) has been moved to non-roster Thursday, per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Mayfield is away from the team for the birth of his child. His placement on non-roster would seem to confirm that he won't play Thursday in Vegas. Travis Mitchell was summoned from AHL Bridgeport in a corresponding move.

Mayfield is doubtful for Thursday game in Vegas, due to the birth of his child, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mayfield could return as early as Friday in Utah. The blueliner has three assists in 16 games this season. The Islanders could recall a blueliner from AHL Bridgeport ahead of Thursday's tilt, as they are down to six healthy defensemen.

Mayfield logged an assist in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Mayfield is set to be a regular in the lineup this year, and his first duty is to serve as a defense partner and mentor for No. 1 pick Matthew Schaefer. The 32-year-old Mayfield will likely remain on the third pairing even if Schaefer moves up later in the year. Mayfield's style isn't flashy, and he's topped the 20-point mark just once in his career, but he's a virtual lock for 100-plus blocked shots, a level he's reached in seven straight seasons.

Mayfield scored a shorthanded goal and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 7-6 overtime loss to Nashville.

EDGE Analysis

Mayfield joined the rush while shorthanded and put the Isles ahead 6-4 late in the third period, but that lead was short-lived, as Nashville stormed back and forced overtime. The goal was Mayfield's first point since Jan. 2, though he hasn't logged an assist since Dec. 21. The right-shot defenseman doesn't provide enough value in non-scoring areas to warrant consideration in the fantasy realm -- his plus-16 rating is arguably his best attribute, which leaves him best suited for the waiver wire.

Mayfield has played in just eight of 16 games since he returned from a lower-body injury Feb. 23.

EDGE Analysis

Mayfield has no points in that span, adding eight blocked shots, seven hits, five shots on net and a minus-1 rating. The Islanders have nine healthy defensemen on the roster, five of them being right-handed shots, including Mayfield. He can play on either side, but it's clear that he is not viewed as one of the team's six best blueliners at this time, and he doesn't have the same scoring appeal as Adam Boqvist to draw in as a seventh defenseman on occasion. Mayfield is at seven points, 45 shots on net, 78 hits, 95 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating over 58 outings this season.

Mayfield (lower body) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, per Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mayfield will return ahead of Sunday's matchup with Dallas after missing the Islanders' final four contests before the break. The 32-year-old blueliner had two goals, seven points and a plus-14 rating in his first 50 games this season.

Mayfield (lower body) told reporters he is hoping to be available for Sunday's matchup with Dallas, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.

EDGE Analysis

Mayfield appears to have taken advantage of the time off during the 4 Nations Face-Off to get back to 100 percent when the Isles return to action Sunday. In order to suit up versus the Stars, the veteran blueliner will need to be activated off injured reserve and could step into the lineup for Dennis Cholowski or Adam Boqvist.
