ISLANDER ESOTERIC

Hunter and Satan are keeping pace with each other as the active non-injured leaders in a few categories. Hunter on the one hand has played in 256 games with the team and is 2 back from Benoit Hogue at #67th all-time. On the other hand, Miro Satan is at #97th all-time with his 175 games played only a game played back from Glen Healy.

In the Goals column, Trent is keeping pace with Miro. Trent has 65 goals to Miro's 66 Goals. They hold the #43rd and #42nd spots respectively. Obviously, Trent is 1 Goal behing Miro. While Miro is 1 Goal back from tying Brad Isbister.

There is more of a disparity in the points department. Miro is 4 points ahead of Trent. Miro has 135 Points tied with Brad Isbister at #53. To note here: Miro is playing in his 175th game - Isbister took 247 Games to get 135 Points. Hunter, in his 256th game, now has 131 Points and is alone at the #56th position - a mere 3-Points back from Tom Kurvers.

OBTW, Miro's Goal was a game winner. His second in as many nights and he is tied with Brad Dalgarno and Mike Kaszycki with 6 Games Winners each at the #53rd spot on the all-time GWG list.

Fedotenko had a 2 point night with his Goal and Assist. The Goal was his 5th with the Islanders and ties him with 10 others for #174th spot. The Assist is his 7th and ties him with Captain Bill Guerin and 6 others at #205th. The 2 Points, his 11th and 12th gives him a ties with 8 others including Captain Bill Guerin at the #195th spot. The Goal was a Power Play Goal and Ruslan is the 98th player to ever score 3 Power Play Goals with the team along with 7 others. He did all this in 12 Games Played. He is still above #300 in the ranking in Games Played.

Comrie had a 2 point night as well with his 2 Assists. He is also tied with "Tank" in Games Played. His Assist, though, is his 10th with the team and lands him formly at #179th all-time with 10 others. The 2-Points that he got, his 14th and 15th, ties him at #176th with Witt, RYan Smyth, Kirk Muller, Michel "The Other" Bergeron, and Doug Rombough.

The Current Bergeron with the team has been here for 33 Games and is tied with Reed Larson, Kevin Millerm and Felix Potvin for the #246th spot on the all-time GP roster. His Assist ties him at 18 Assists with Tom Miller, Bill Muckalt, and Barry Richter for the #134th spot. His points ties hime with erstwhile Islander and current Coyote, no Senator, no - isn't Randy Robitaill in the AHL now - with 26 Points and #139th overall.

Park Sunsengnim, as I would have called him in my 6 years in Korea or Mr. Park as I would call him here on Long Island has played in his 94th game and is tied with Mr. "1,002", and Jason Weimer at #140th. His 19th Assist is good enough for #130th overall and ties him with Hubie McDonough, Wendel Clark, and the erstwhile Islander, Randy Robitaille. He is in sole possession of the #133rd spot with 30 Points and is 1 behind 1st round draft pick, David Chyzowski.

PENALTIES
Only penalty stat that stands out, perhaps is Trent's 82 minute of penalty time ties him at #125th with Simon and Ricky.
