"According to the team's public relations staff, the Islanders entered Monday night's game against the New Jersey Devils with eight players already in double digits in points, the most of any team in the league. It's the first time since the 1987-88 season that the Isles have had that many players reach the 10-point mark this early, and the first time since 1993-94 that six players have surpassed 10 points through 15 games."
"At the top of the list is Bo Horvat, who continues to prove why he's one of the league's premier finishers with 20 points (12 goals, 8 assists). Behind him, Mathew Barzal and Kyle Palmieri (13 points) followed by core players Anders Lee and Jean-Gabriel Pageau each have 11 points, joined by 18-year-old rookie Matthew Schaefer, whose poise and consistency have made him an early Calder Trophy favorite with 12 points this season."
The New York Islanders display exceptional offensive balance through 16 games, with eight players already in double figures in points. This marks the most players with at least 10 points for any NHL team this early, a feat not seen since 1987-88 and the earliest cluster of six players since 1993-94. Bo Horvat leads with 20 points, supported by Mathew Barzal, Kyle Palmieri, Anders Lee, Jean-Gabriel Pageau, rookie Matthew Schaefer, Jonathan Drouin, and Emil Heineman. The roster depth built by Mathieu Darche allows consistent scoring across all lines, creating a threat on every shift.
