"Jonathan Drouin- 8 games, 1 goal, 5 assists, 6 points Drouin was looked at as a surprise move that nobody expected this offseason. He was brought in because of his speed and for his prior experience with powerplay coach Ray Bennett. Drouin has found a home on his line with Bo Horvat and Emil Heineman while adding another playmaker for the Islanders powerplay."
"Emil Heineman- 9 games, 5 goals, 1 assist, 6 points Heineman was the current NHL talent that the blue and orange received from the Montreal Canadiens as well as two first round picks but Heineman has been a pleasant surprise. In his first full season last season Heineman had 10 goals and 8 assists for 18 points in 62 games."
"Matthew Schaefer- 9 games, 2 goals, 5 assists, 7 points The No. 1 pick hasn't disappointed; he has already been the Islanders best defenseman and one of the team's best players. I believe he's already one of the best players in the league. Schaefer has already shown why he was the clear No. 1 pick and continues to improve every game."
Several offseason additions have provided immediate impact for the New York Islanders. Jonathan Drouin has recorded 1 goal and 5 assists in 8 games, using speed and power-play chemistry with coach Ray Bennett while centering with Bo Horvat and Emil Heineman. Emil Heineman has 5 goals and 1 assist in 9 games and is on pace to far exceed last season's totals as he receives increased ice time. Matthew Schaefer, the No. 1 pick, has 2 goals and 5 assists in 9 games and has already become the team's top defenseman. Maxim Shabanov has 1 goal and 2 assists in 6 games while primarily occupying a third-line role.
