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.

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.
