DUFOUR KEEPS THE MOMENTUM GOING

The Islanders' 2020 fifth rounder (152nd overall) posted a two-goal performance on Oct. 15 that earned him the second star of the game in Saint John's 5-4 loss to Cape Breton. Dufour added an assist in a 4-3 OT win over Cape Breton on Oct. 16.
Through seven games this season, Dufour has compiled a team-high five goals and is second on the team with eight points through seven games.
The Sea Dogs and Dufour are ranked 14th overall in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League with a 2-3-2 record.

JEFFERIES TALLIES THREE-GAME POINT STREAK

Alex Jefferies has strung together a three-game point streak for the Merrimack Warriors with three helpers over that span.
Jefferies, who the Islanders selected 121st overall (4th round) of the 2020 NHL Draft, now has three assists in four games to start his sophomore season.
Merrimack and Jefferies are ranked eighth overall in the Hockey East standings with a 0-1-0 conference record, but are 2-2 overall.

The following night on Oct. 17, and facing the same opponent, Saginaw and Lennox responded in a winning fashion. Lennox received first star of the game honors as he backstopped Saginaw to a 2-1 victory over the Otters.
The Islanders' 2021 third rounder (93rd overall) came up with a 21-save performance. Through two games this season, Lennox has earned a 1-1-0 record, a 2.01 GAA and a 0.913 SV%.
