Islanders' Casey Cizikas: Nabs helper in loss
Rotowire
Cizikas logged an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Cizikas recorded five points over the final 12 games of the season to salvage some scoring late in the year. He finished with 17 points in 82 games, his lowest output in the last three seasons. He also had a minus-13 rating, 97 shots on net, 51 PIM, 202 hits and 66 blocked shots while playing in a bottom-six role.

Rotowire
Fasching scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Fasching had two goals over the last five games of the season. The 29-year-old winger generally struggled this year, posting just four points in 43 outings after earning 14 points in 45 games the year before.

Islanders' Marcus Hogberg: Ends season with loss
Rotowire
Hogberg turned aside 20 shots in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.
The 30-year-old netminder kept Columbus off the board in the first period, but things fell apart for the Islanders over the final 40 minutes of their season. Hogberg had a rough conclusion to his campaign, coughing up six or more goals in three of his last four starts, and his last win came back on Jan. 18 -- he went 0-4-3 over his last nine outings with a 4.60 GAA and .833 save percentage. Ilya Sorokin and Semyon Varlamov (lower body) are both under contract for 2025-26, but even if the latter's health remains in question, the Isles may look for an upgrade on Hogberg this offseason as their No. 3 goalie.
Romanov (illness) isn't expected to play in the Islanders' regular-season finale versus Columbus on Thursday, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.
Romanov is slated to end the campaign with four goals, 20 points, 100 shots, 147 hits and 165 blocks in 64 appearances. It's the third straight season in which he's recorded at least 20 points, though he is set to finish just below the 150-hit mark after reaching that milestone in each of his previous three campaigns.
