Islanders' Scott Mayfield: Nets shortie in OT loss
Rotowire
Mayfield scored a shorthanded goal and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 7-6 overtime loss to Nashville.
Mayfield joined the rush while shorthanded and put the Isles ahead 6-4 late in the third period, but that lead was short-lived, as Nashville stormed back and forced overtime. The goal was Mayfield's first point since Jan. 2, though he hasn't logged an assist since Dec. 21. The right-shot defenseman doesn't provide enough value in non-scoring areas to warrant consideration in the fantasy realm -- his plus-16 rating is arguably his best attribute, which leaves him best suited for the waiver wire.

Islanders' Scott Mayfield: Struggling for playing time
Rotowire
Mayfield has played in just eight of 16 games since he returned from a lower-body injury Feb. 23.
Mayfield has no points in that span, adding eight blocked shots, seven hits, five shots on net and a minus-1 rating. The Islanders have nine healthy defensemen on the roster, five of them being right-handed shots, including Mayfield. He can play on either side, but it's clear that he is not viewed as one of the team's six best blueliners at this time, and he doesn't have the same scoring appeal as Adam Boqvist to draw in as a seventh defenseman on occasion. Mayfield is at seven points, 45 shots on net, 78 hits, 95 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating over 58 outings this season.
