Welcome to the Islanders Prospect Report, a weekly roundup of the Islanders' junior, collegiate and European prospects. Visit our In the System page for more prospect content.

FINLEY REACHES 20 POINTS

Quinn Finley used a two-goal game to reach the 20-point mark in his sophomore season with the Wisconsin Badgers.

The 20-year-old had a power-play goal and an empty netter in a 4-0 win over Michigan State on Friday, collecting his fifth power-play goal of the year. With the empty net goal to seal the deal for Wisconsin, Finley surpassed his previous career-high 10 goals with his 11th of the season.

The Islanders’ 2022 third-rounder (78th overall) is making headway on the NCAA leaderboard. Finley is tied for first in 11 goals and is one of 12 players in the NCAA to hit the 20-point mark this season.

Already building on a career-best 20 points, Finley shattered his freshman season point total (16) through 36 games last season.

MACHU SCORES HIS FIRST GOAL OF THE SEASON

Tomas Machu got his first goal of the season for Providence College on Friday.

The 21-year-old defenseman netted a third period goal - that held as the game-winner - in a 4-3 win over Colorado. The Czechia native hit the scoresheet again in his next game, recording an assist against Colorado in a 5-1 win for Providence on Saturday, which marks his third assist and fourth point through 16 games this season.

The Islanders’ 2021 seventh-round pick (221st overall) is in his first season of NCAA hockey, as he played for the Youngstown Phantoms in the USHL for the past three seasons, recording a career-best 17 points (1G, 16A) in the 2023-24 campaign.
