|---|---|---|
| April 5, 2026 | Gatcomb scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and logged three hits in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Hurricanes. - Gatcomb has three points over his last five games. The 26-year-old remains in a fourth-line role, and he's unlikely to move up in the lineup this late in the year. He's earned just seven points with 48 shots on net, 183 hits, 24 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 46 appearances, which is not a fantasy-friendly level of production in most formats. | None |
| March 29, 2026 | Gatcomb produced a goal and an assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Panthers. - The 26-year-old fourth liner snapped a 12 -game point drought and a 36-game goal drought with the performance, as he had a hand in the Islanders' first and last tallies during a five-goal second period. Gatcomb has just two goals and six points in 42 contests on the season, but he has dished 175 hits -- tying him for 25th in the NHL despite the fact that he didn't become a regular part of the Isles' lineup until December. | None |
| Jan. 28, 2026 | Gatcomb logged an assist and three hits in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Rangers. - Gatcomb looked to be slipping into a part-time role last week, but he's retaken a fourth-line spot over Calum Ritchie in the last two games. The 26-year-old Gatcomb ended an 18-game point drought with his helper Wednesday. He's produced just three points with 30 shots on net, 108 hits and a plus-1 rating over 24 outings, so he doesn't need to be rostered in most fantasy formats. | None |
| Jan. 25, 2026 | Gatcomb was scratched for the second straight game in Saturday's 5-0 loss to the Sabres. - Gatcomb's role is shrinking with the return of Bo Horvat (lower body), who played Saturday. The Islanders have plenty of depth forwards, and Gatcomb hasn't stood out -- he's stuck in a 17-game point drought currently. The 26-year-old has put up just two points in 22 outings this season, adding 28 shots on net and 102 hits, but the Islanders may be reluctant to expose him to waivers. | None |
| Dec. 10, 2025 | Gatcomb netted a goal and dished out nine hits in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Golden Knights. - Gatcomb made his presence felt both on the scoresheet and on the ice, as in addition to his second-period goal, he recorded a season-high nine hits. With his effort Tuesday, the 26-year-old forward is up to two points, six shots on net and 29 hits through five games this season. He's making the most of his stint in the NHL in the absence of Jonathan Drouin (back). Once Drouin returns, Gatcomb has a chance to remain with the Islanders instead of returning to AHL Bridgeport, but he'd likely rotate in and out of the lineup. When he does play, Gatcomb offers a premium value in hits per game, but has limited offensive upside. | None |
| Dec. 5, 2025 | Gatcomb registered an assist and four hits in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Avalanche. - This was Gatcomb's first helper in his second NHL game of the season. He's also produced 11 hits. The 26-year-old has spent a large part of the campaign with AHL Bridgeport after losing his roster spot in October. He will likely fill a part-time role as long as he remains with the big club. | None |
| Nov. 30, 2025 | Gatcomb has been recalled by the Islanders, the team announced Sunday. - Gatcomb was on the NHL roster to start the season, but he was placed on waivers in late October and has been in the AHL with Bridgeport since. An injury to Kyle Palmieri (knee) has created an opening at the NHL level, and Gatcomb will fill that roster spot. The 26-year-old Gatcomb has eight points (four goals, four assists) in 15 AHL games. It remains to be seen whether he will draw into the lineup right away or serve as the 13th forward for now. | None |
| Oct. 22, 2025 | Gatcomb was placed on waivers by the Islanders on Wednesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports. - Gatcomb earned an Opening Night roster spot but saw minimal usage over the first few weeks of the regular season, making just one appearance for the Islanders. If he clears waivers, he'll likely head to AHL Bridgeport, where he should see more consistent playing time. | None |
| July 6, 2025 | Gatcomb signed a one-year, $900,000 contract with the Islanders on Sunday, per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com. - Gatcomb notched nine goals and 17 points in 35 regular-season appearances with AHL Bridgeport in 2024-25. He also collected eight goals, one assist and 149 hits across 39 NHL games with the Islanders during the 2024-25 regular season. The 25-year-old forward will compete for a depth spot with the big club during training camp. | None |
| April 6, 2025 | Gatcomb scored twice on four shots, added six hits and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Capitals. - Gatcomb has five goals over his last 11 contests. That's a good pace, but it's a little more impressive coming from a fourth-liner who has not exceeded 12 minutes of ice time in any of those games. He's now at eight goals, one assist, 30 shots on net, 122 hits and a plus-1 rating over his first 33 appearances in the NHL. | None |
| March 29, 2025 | Gatcomb scored a goal in a 5-3 loss to the Lightning on Saturday. - He wired a wrist shot from the right circle in the third period to draw the Islanders to within two at 4-2. Gatcomb has six goals, one assist, 24 shots and a whopping 106 hits in 29 appearances this season. He has rung up four hits in each of his last four games, showing he can provide fantasy managers with a category bump if bruises are needed. | None |
| March 23, 2025 | Gatcomb found the back of the net on his only shot, doled out four hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Flames. - Gatcomb converted a beautiful feed from Maxim Tsyplakov late in the first period to give the Islanders a 2-1 lead. The 25-year-old Gatcomb has two goals in his last four games, but he hasn't earned an assist since Feb. 23. The Massachusetts native has chipped in five goals and six points across 26 appearances this season. He's added 94 hits, which is his best attribute in the fantasy realm. | None |
| March 16, 2025 | Gatcomb scored a goal on three shots, added three hits and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Panthers. - Gatcomb ended a nine-game point drought with his goal in the third period, which started the Islanders' comeback. The 25-year-old forward has maintained a fourth-line role despite his lack of offense, as the Islanders don't appear to trust Matt Martin to play regularly. Gatcomb is now at four goals, one assist, 18 shots on net, 86 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 23 appearances this season. | None |
| Feb. 23, 2025 | Gatcomb notched an assist and six hits in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Stars. - This was Gatcomb's first assist of the season and his fourth point over seven contests. The 25-year-old has settled into a fourth-line role since making his NHL debut Jan. 14 against the Senators. In addition to his four points, he has 13 shots on net, 54 hits, nine PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 13 appearances. That level of production may help in extremely deep fantasy formats, but Gatcomb is far away from having widespread appeal. | None |
| Feb. 8, 2025 | Gatcomb found the back of the net on his only shot in 8:19 of ice time Friday in a 4-3 loss to Winnipeg. - Gatcomb gave the Isles a 2-1 lead in the opening frame, but Winnipeg would storm back in the second period. The right-shot forward has scored three goals over his last five games and has added some physicality to New York's bottom six. While he's been able to chip in a few goals, he hasn't produced an assist over his first 11 NHL games. The 25-year-old could earn his first career helper Saturday against the Wild. | None |
| Feb. 2, 2025 | Gatcomb netted the second goal of his career in Sunday's 6-3 loss against the Panthers. - Gatcomb's goal was the go-ahead tally in the second period before the Panthers scored four unanswered. The 25-year-old forward now has two goals and 40 hits across his first nine career games in the pros. Over the last 15 days, only his teammate Casey Cizikas has more hits across the NHL. He will need more ice time to be a trustworthy option in fantasy, but he is an exciting name to keep an eye on in banger leagues. | None |
| Jan. 30, 2025 | Gatcomb scored a goal Thursday in a 3-0 win over the Flyers. - The Flyers blew a line change, and Gatcomb and Kyle MacLean skated in on a 2-on-0 that Gatcomb finished. It was his first NHL goal in his seventh game. The undrafted forward is living the dream after spending the first four years of his pro career with the Canucks' organization in the AHL and ECHL. That puck is going on Gatcomb's mantel. | None |
| Jan. 17, 2025 | Gatcomb was recalled from AHL Bridgeport on Friday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports. - Gatcomb made his NHL debut Tuesday, picking up four hits and a blocked shot in 7:27 of action. Maxim Tsyplakov could get suspended for his hit to the head on the Flyers' Ryan Poehling, and if so, it will leave the Islanders with only 12 healthy forwards, including Gatcomb. | None |
| Jan. 15, 2025 | Gatcomb was reassigned to AHL Bridgeport on Wednesday, per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com. - Gatcomb has nine goals and 17 points in 34 appearances with Bridgeport in 2024-25. He made his NHL debut Tuesday against Ottawa, recording four hits and one block in 7:27 of ice time. | None |
| Jan. 14, 2025 | Gatcomb was recalled under emergency conditions ahead of Tuesday's matchup with Ottawa. - Gatcomb's emergency recall would seem to suggest there is a potential illness or injury impacting one of New York's forwards -- possibly a center given Gatcomb's natural position. Unfortunately for fantasy players, the notoriously tight-lipped Isles are unlikely to offer more details prior to puck drop. If a forward has to miss out, Gatcomb would likely be pressed into the lineup to make his NHL debut Tuesday. | None |
| July 2, 2024 | Gatcomb signed a one-year, entry-level contract with the Islanders on Tuesday, per PuckPedia. - Gatcomb, an undrafted center, has taken the long way to getting an NHL deal after a four-year career at the University of Connecticut and three years in the minors. After posting 20 points over 61 regular-season outings with AHL Abbotsford last year, he's likely to report to AHL Bridgeport in 2024-25. | None |
