Maxim Shabanov Fantasy Stats

Minnesota Wild right wing Maxim Shabanov scored a power-play goal in Sunday's 5-1 win over Washington, marking his third goal in four games. Shabanov's offseason move to Minnesota flew under the radar after his disappointing campaign with the New York Islanders, but he's starting to draw attention. In 15 outings, the Russian forward has tallied five goals and 10 points. Shabanov was highly prolific in the KHL before moving to North America. While he's unlikely to match that level of productivity in the NHL, Shabanov appears to have found his groove and has been an effective middle-six piece for the Wild.

New York Islanders right wing Maxim Shabanov (lower body) is considered day-to-day after missing Monday's practice, Rachel Luscher of the Islanders' official site reports. Shabanov has seen very little action since February and might be unavailable for Tuesday's tilt against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The 25-year-old rookie has tallied 16 points (four goals, 12 assists) in 42 games with the Islanders this season. 10 of his points were scored before the holiday break, so bringing in Shabanov from the KHL, where he was one of the league's top scorers, hasn't proven successful for the Islanders.
