  • Islanders' Matt Martin: Hands out helper in win

    Martin notched an assist in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Senators.

    Martin has not been a regularly in the lineup since officially re-signing with the Islanders on Oct. 26. He's played in just three of seven games since his signing, with his helper Thursday being his first point. He's added two shots on net, six hits, three blocked shots and a minus-1 rating. Martin is mostly a physical presence on the ice and a leader in the locker room, but he'll have to compete with Hudson Fasching, Pierre Engvall and Oliver Wahlstrom for the last forward spots in the lineup.

  • Islanders' Matt Martin: Signs with Islanders

    Martin signed a one-year deal with the Islanders on Saturday.

    Martin played 57 regular-season games with the Islanders in 2023-24, tallying four goals, eight points and 151 hits. He spent training camp and the start of the year with the team on a professional tryout agreement. His patience paid off with a standard contract, and the organization added a veteran player for the bottom six.

  • Matt Martin: Remains unsigned

    Martin -- who continues to skate with the Islanders on a PTO -- will not be signed by the team even after Anthony Duclair (leg) suffered a long-term injury, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports Monday.

    At this point, Martin will probably end up skating with the team all the way up to the trade deadline, which is the last point when a player can sign with a team and still be eligible for the postseason. Until he puts pen to paper on a full NHL contract, Martin will just be an extra body at practice and ineligible to play in a game.

  • Islanders' Matt Martin: Signs PTO with Islanders

    Martin (lower body) signed a professional tryout agreement with the Islanders on Friday, according to Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

    Martin has spent 13 of his 15 NHL seasons with the Islanders, including the last six years. He had four goals, four assists and 151 hits in 57 regular-season games with the Islanders last season. He will compete for a spot on the fourth line during training camp.

  • Islanders' Matt Martin: Set for MRI

    Martin (lower body) is expected to undergo an MRI in the coming days, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports Friday.

    Martin was sidelined for the final two postseason contests due to his lower-body issue. Unless the MRI results come back with something more serious, the team may not provide much of an update heading into the offseason. Even if there is a long-term concern that carries into the 2024-25 campaign, Martin's lack of offensive upside means a potential absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy players.

  • Islanders' Matt Martin: Unavailable for Game 5

    Martin (lower body) won't play in Game 5 against the Hurricanes on Tuesday, according to Andrew Gross of Newsday.

    Martin, who didn't practice Monday, will miss his second straight contest. He has been credited with two shots on goal, three blocked shots, seven hits and 16 PIM in three outings this postseason. Simon Holmstrom or Ruslan Iskhakov will replace Martin in the lineup for Game 5.

  • Islanders' Matt Martin: Expected to play Thursday

    Martin (undisclosed) was in his usual spot during line rushes, indicating he'll play in Thursday's Game 3 versus the Hurricanes, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

    Martin has played on the fourth line throughout the campaign, so his presence in the lineup isn't likely to make a big impact in fantasy. The 34-year-old has no points, 19 hits and 21 PIM over his last 10 outings.

  • Islanders' Matt Martin: Game-time call against Canes

    Martin will be a game-time decision versus Carolina for Game 3 on Thursday due to an undisclosed injury, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.

    Martin averaged just 10:12 of ice time through the first two games of the series before picking up his undisclosed injury. If the veteran winger misses time, it's expected Ruslan Iskhakov will get a look on the fourth line, though both Oliver Wahlstrom and Simon Holmstrom could be in contention for a lineup spot as well.

    That's the veteran's fourth goal and eighth point through 49 games on the campaign. With just 42 shots on net, Martin is taking less than a shot per game and averages only 9:19 of ice time per contest. The fourth-liner's offensive upside is limited.

  • Islanders' Matt Martin: Deals helper

    Martin provided an assist in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Ducks.

    Martin helped out on a Cal Clutterbuck tally late in the third period. This was Martin's second straight game with an assist, but he had gone 21 contests without a point prior to this sudden burst of offense.

  • Islanders' Matt Martin: Pockets rare assist

    Martin notched an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Sharks.

    Martin snapped a 21-game point drought drought when he set up Kyle MacLean's goal in the second period. That scoring slump was over two months long, though that's not unusual for a player with Martin's skill set. He has a meager four points with 35 shots on net, 118 hits and a plus-4 rating through 40 appearances this season, so he doesn't need to be rostered in the vast majority of fantasy formats.

  • Islanders' Matt Martin: Good to go

    Martin (undisclosed) is expected to play Tuesday against St. Louis, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.

    Martin exited Saturday's win over the Bruins in the third period with an undisclosed issue, but he should slot into his usual fourth-line role versus the Blues. He's picked up just two goals and three points through 38 contests this campaign.

    Martin (undisclosed) left Saturday's game versus the Bruins, and head coach Patrick Roy didn't have an update on the winger's status after the contest, Ethan Sears of the New York Post reports.

    Martin should be considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's game versus the Blues. If he can't play, Oliver Wahlstrom will likely take his place in the lineup.

  • Islanders' Matt Martin: Practicing Saturday

    Martin (illness) is practicing Saturday, according to Andrew Gross of Newsday.

    Martin missed Thursday's game versus Montreal. The 34-year-old is lining up with Kyle MacLean and Cal Clutterbuck on the fourth line as Julien Gauthier appears to be the odd-man out when the Islanders face Florida on Saturday. Martin has two goals, one assist and 72 hits in 26 contests this season.
