"I just feel comfortable, the winger, who has a goal and three assists, said following the team's practice on Monday. I feel like I'm not thinking anymore on the ice, just playing my game."
"There are some very good players here, Drouin said. [Mathew] Barzal and Bo [Horvat], you got [rookie defenseman Matthew] Schaefer there who is very impressive for an 18-year-old. He nearly reference Makar when bringing up Schaefer, who has five points in his first five NHL games the youngest blue liner ever to do so but stopped short. I don't like comparing people, he began, but he'll be a very good defenseman in this league."
Jonathan Drouin recorded four points in his first four games with the New York Islanders and reports feeling comfortable and less constrained on the ice. He entered the NHL as a can't-miss prospect in Tampa Bay but never achieved sustained top-tier production and endured injuries and limited games in Montreal. He produced 56 points in 79 games with Colorado before breaking ribs early in 2024-25, then returned to score 37 points in 43 games playing alongside elite teammates. Islanders depth includes Mathew Barzal, Bo Horvat, and rookie defenseman Matthew Schaefer, who has five points in five games.
