NHL – New York Islanders
Name | Pos | Age | GP | G | A | Pts | +/- | PIM |
Trent Hunter | RW | 23 | 10 | 6 | 2 | 8 | 5 | 2 | Justin Papineau | C | 23 | 12 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 2 | Sean Bergenheim | LW | 19 | 13 | 1 | 1 | 2 | -1 | 0 | Eric Godard | RW | 23 | 9 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -1 | 38 | Justin Mapletoft | C | 22 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
No one has been more hot on the New York
Islanders than Trent Hunter. He is currently second out of all NHL
Rookies in goals with six. His recent pairing on a line with Shawn
Bates and Jason Blake have generated the most scoring chances each game,
as Hunter had six shots against Montreal on November 11. With his
recent emergence with his physical play and scoring touch and the impending
return of Mattias Weinhandl, General Manager Mike Milbury deemed Jason
Weimer expendable by placing him on waivers. Weimer was eventually
claimed by the Minnesota Wild. Justin Mapletoft, who was recalled
from AHL affiliate Bridgeport due to a knee sprain to Jason Blake, has
remained with the team since Blake’s return and has fit well as a
fourth line center. His recent pairing with the speedy Sean
Bergenheim and enforcer Eric Godard have played strong as they averaged
sven minutes of icetime in their most recent game against Montreal on
November 13.
AHL – Bridgeport Sound Tigers
Name | Pos | Age | GP | G | A | Pts | +/- | PIM | Justin Mapletoft | C | 22 | 10 | 4 | 6 | 10 | 0 | 12 | Martin Kariya | F | 22 | 14 | 4 | 5 | 9 | 4 | 6 | Blaine Down | C | 21 | 5 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 2 |

Since returning from off-season shoulder
surgery, Blaine Down has been playing on the first line unit with
Kevin Colley and Ben Guite. He has been playing a more physical game and
seems to show no lingering effects of any problems with his shoulder.
When asked if there is a concern with the shoulder, Down said “You
can’t be concerned out there because that’s when you are going to get
hit. It definitely lingers in the back of my mind.” Martin Kariya
has been playing on a line with Ryan Kraft and Derek Bekar for the past
few games, and has even been playing defense on some powerplays, being
paired with Mattias Timander. After going 0-2-0 to start the season,
Wade Dubielewicz has won his past four starts, only allowing five
goals.
