With only five games played in the regular season, it is too early to judge how the season might go for the New York Islanders. Fortunately, it isn’t too early to judge how all 23 players have performed so far this season.
This ranking is strictly how they’ve impacted the club so far this year. This isn’t a projection on how they’ll be by the time game 82 is said and done in April. This is very much a “what have you done for me lately” type of ranking.
1. Mathew Barzal
It’s to no surprise that Mathew Barzal has been the best Islander through the early parts of the season.
