Islanders Prospect Report

The Islanders prospects are all back in action in the junior, collegiate and European leagues. Kieffer Bellows has carried a strong World Juniors performance into WHL action, while Anatoly Golyshev and Otto Koivula also make noise in this week's report.

Bellows notched two goals and was named the first star in his first game back in the Winterhawks lineup on Friday, in a 5-2 win over the Tri-City Americans. Bellows picked up three more points in Saturday's 5-4 victory over the Seattle Thunderbirds with three helpers. Bellows streak continued on Sunday with 2 points (1G, 1A) and the second star, despite Portland's 4-3 overtime loss to the Everett Silvertips.
The Islanders' 2016 first-round pick is third in both team scoring (47 points) and team goals (22) and is fourth in assists (25). Bellows has 47 points in 34 games so far this season.

GOLYSHEV KEEPS THE GOALS COMING:

Anatoly Golyshev racked up five points (4G, 1A) in as many days, turning his goal in last Sunday's 5-2 win against Traktor into a three-game point streak. Golyshev netted two goals on Tuesday in Avtomobilist's 4-3 loss to CSKA Moscow. Golyshev's streak continued on Thursday in a 5-1 win over Vityaz, with a goal and an assist.
The Islander's 2016 fourth-rounder is eighth in KHL goals with 17 so far this season and has found the back of the net in seven of his last eight games. Overall, Golyshev has recorded 29 points (17G, 12A) in 34 games.

KOIVULA RETURNS TO ILVES:

After competing with Finland in the World Juniors, Otto Koivula has come back strong to the Ilves lineup, scoring three points in two games. Koivula assisted on a last-minute goal to tie Tuesday's game with HPK 5-5, though Ilves ultimately lost 6-5 in overtime. Koivula had a two-point game on Friday, with two assists in a 5-4 loss to the Lahti Pelicans. Koivula's point streak was snapped as Ilves was shut out by Mikkelin Jukurit on Saturday.
Koivula has 21 points (4G, 17A) in 35 games this season. The Islanders' 2016 fourth-round pick (120th overall) is third on his team in assists (17) and sixth in points (21).
