2022-23 Fantasy Hockey Outlook: New York Islanders

2022-23 Fantasy Hockey Outlook: New York Islanders.

The Islanders finished last season with a record of 37-35-10, 5th Metro, 20th overall. They won just five games on their opening 13-game road trip. Their schedule was awful and they had a bad winter stretch. Barry Trotz's team was not very good at all. Only two players scored at least 20 goals and no one scored over 60 points. Matt Barzal had his worst season yet. The team didn't sign any big names in free agency. New coach Lane Lambert will try to improve the team's performance.

Noah Dobson is the best fantasy option for New York Islanders in the upcoming season. Dobon broke out with 51 points last season and is a good option in banger leagues. The team still lacks a bona fide offensive player. Anthony Beauvillier is entering his seventh NHL season but has yet to score more than 21 goals. He is getting drafted nearly 60 spots ahead of Doboson by Yahoo’s ADP. He ranked 29th among defensemen with at least 100 minutes on the power play averaging 99.39 shot attempts per 60 minutes. His career 11.9 S% is very average.

Sorokin is a very talented goalie. He was tops in the league in both 5v5 GSAA/60 (0.64) and save percentage (936). He should be the starter and not stuck in a timeshare with Semyon Varlamov. The Isles are not as good as the Lightning or the Rangers. If the Isles' offense improves under Lambert, Sorokin could be a borderline top-five fantasy goalie in some leagues.

The Isles are a playoff team at their best. Dobson and Sorokin are good fantasy options. Only four players are projected to score over 50 points. They are players to fill out the rest of your fantasy roster.
