AHL Hamilton head coach Jay McKee said Friday that he's "seeing more than [he] expected with [George]," Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports. - Although George spent most of last season in the AHL, he got his first taste of NHL action by appearing in four games with the Islanders, recording an assist and a hit while averaging 13:22 of ice time over that limited sample. It's encouraging that he's making an impression early in rookie camp, and he'll likely be in the mix for an Opening Night roster spot if he can continue to showcase his skill set at training camp. |

George will be reassigned to AHL Bridgeport on Wednesday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - George appeared in four games for the Islanders this year, recording one assist, one hit and two shots while averaging 13:22 of ice time. While the 22-year-old blueliner hasn't secured his place on the NHL roster, he should be in the mix for a spot in the Opening Night lineup for the 2026-27 campaign. |

George was recalled from AHL Bridgeport on Tuesday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports. - Ryan Pulock is dealing with a lower-body injury and is unavailable for Tuesday's home contest against Chicago, so George will serve as the Islanders' seventh defenseman for the time being following his promotion. The 22-year-old George has gotten into two games with the big club this season, notching an assist while averaging 13:18 of ice time. The left-shot blueliner has also provided two goals, 17 points and a plus-10 rating across 45 appearances with the minor-league squad in 2025-26. |

George was sent down to AHL Bridgeport on Tuesday, per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com. - The Islanders acquired blueliner Carson Soucy on Monday, which led to a crowded room of defensemen, where George seems to be the initial odd-man out. The 21-year-old defenseman recorded an assist in Monday's contest for his first point of the year across two appearances with the NHL club. His move to Bridgeport could also indicate that Ryan Pulock, who has been dealing with an upper-body injury, could be close to returning. Through 24 games with Bridgeport this season, George has 10 points. He is a likely candidate for another call-up if another Islanders' blueliner picks up an injury. |

George was summoned from AHL Bridgeport on Saturday. - George had two goals and 10 points in 24 AHL games before his recall. George has spent the entire season with Bridgeport after playing 33 regular-season games with the Islanders in 2024-25, scoring once and adding four assists with the big club. The Islanders sent Cole McWard to the minors in a corresponding move Saturday. George could suit up Saturday in Buffalo, as the Islanders are down to five healthy defensemen, with Ryan Pulock day-to-day with an upper-body injury. |

George scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Bridgeport's 5-1 win over Hartford on Sunday. - George has battled injuries a couple of times this season, with his three points Sunday representing his first contribution since Dec. 13. He's now at two goals and six helpers over 21 appearances. The Islanders have plenty of blue-line depth at the NHL level, so the 21-year-old George is likely to spend most of the campaign working on his development. |

George was loaned to AHL Bridgeport on Monday. - George got his first taste of NHL action last year by making 33 regular-season appearances for the Islanders. He recorded a goal, four assists, 34 blocked shots, 14 hits and six PIM while averaging 15:39 of ice time, but he'll be left off the team's Opening Night roster ahead of the 2025-26 campaign. However, he'll likely be one of the first defensemen in the mix for a call-up if the team deals with injuries at some point. |

George was demoted to AHL Bridgeport on Friday. - George is pointless over his last 12 games with the Islanders, registering 13 shots, eight hits and six blocks while averaging just 12:43 of ice time. With the team claiming Adam Boqvist off waivers Friday, along with the additions of Scott Perunovich and Tony DeAngelo, the 20-year-old George became expendable -- though he figures to be in the mix for a full-time NHL role next season. |

George (upper body) is slated to return versus the Senators on Tuesday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports. - George will be back in the lineup following a three-game stint on the shelf due to his upper-body injury. Prior to getting hurt, the youngster was stuck in a four-game pointless streak. The offense hasn't exactly been flowing from the Ontario native this season, as he has managed just five points in 25 outings. As such, fantasy players probably don't need him on their radar, especially in re-draft leagues. |

George (upper body) returned to practice Monday, but head coach Patrick Roy doesn't know whether the defenseman will be available for Tuesday's game against the Senators, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports. - George has missed the last three games due to his upper-body injury, but it was encouraging to see him back in practice Monday. Roy said that George looked good during Monday's practice session, but the team's medical staff apparently wants to see how he feels afterward before determining his status for Tuesday's matchup. Grant Hutton was sent down Monday, so it wouldn't be surprising to see either George or Alexander Romanov (upper body), who remains day-to-day, back in action against Ottawa. |

George (upper body) will not travel with the team for its upcoming game in Las Vegas on Thursday, Ethan Sears of the New York Post reports. - George is still dealing with the lingering effects of a hit from Max Domi in Thursday's 2-1 loss to Toronto. The 20-year-old George has provided one goal and four helpers through 25 appearances this season. Dennis Cholowski will continue to fill in on the third pairing while George is sidelined.

He was hit by Max Domi in the second and didn't not return to the game. If George can't play Sunday in Boston, Dennis Cholowski will likely enter the lineup. |

George scored a goal Saturday in a 6-3 win over the Maple Leafs in Toronto. - What a way to get your first NHL goal. First, George is from Oakville, which is a Toronto suburb west down the QEW from Scotiabank Arena. And then it stood as the game winner. George took a pass from Anthony Duclair and wired it glove-side of Joseph Woll from the top of the left circle. Chalk it up to a great memory for George and his family, but little more. He has just four points and 27 blocks in 20 games. |

George produced an assist in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Capitals. - George has turned things around after a slow start on offense at the NHL level. The 20-year-old defenseman has a helper in three straight contests, and he's maintained top-four minutes in that span. Overall, he's at three assists, eight shots on net, 13 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 12 appearances. |

George recorded an assist in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings. - George's first point came in his 10th career game, as he earned the secondary helper on a Kyle Palmieri tally in the second period. The 20-year-old George has quickly become a valued part of the Islanders' defense, averaging 19:29 of ice time per game. He's added eight shots on net, 12 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating, though his offense could be limited since the team has scored just 2.45 goals per game, the fourth-worst mark in the league. |

George saw 15:41 of ice time in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Penguins. - George was brought up from AHL Bridgeport on Monday as a result of New York dealing with various injuries to its blue line. The 20-year-old didn't look out of place in his first career NHL game, and he was entrusted to defend in a tie game with under two minutes to play in the third period. The left-shot blueliner is an extremely smooth skater, and that trait appears to be the foundation of George's game. The 2022 fourth-round selection could get an extended look with New York while Alexander Romanov and Mike Reilly work their way back from upper-body injuries. |
