NHL Shifts Leaders: New York Islanders
2026-27All situationsThrough 3 team games
This board ranks every NHL skater by shifts, regular season only. Pick any season back to 2025-26 above the table.
Shifts count every time a player steps onto the ice, from the NHL's shift charts. Defensemen take the most; top pairs approach 30 a night. A few leagues score shifts. More shifts means more ice time, so the board mirrors the time-on-ice leaders with defensemen on top.
Leader for the New York Islanders in 2026-27: Adam Pelech (NYI), 60 SFT.
- Early sample: teams have played at most 3 games in 2026-27. Expect big swings.
