Mayfield went scoreless for a sixth straight game as the Islanders lost to the Avalanche, 5-4 on Monday.

It's not the lack of scoring that is the biggest concern for the Islanders but that his rating is a minus-6 during this six-game stretch. The Islanders' margin for winning and losing is razor-thin, and a player they can usually rely upon has been struggling of late. This season, Mayfield has two goals, 15 points and a minus-4 rating in 53 games. The offense is right in line with his usual production, but if he were to finish this season with a minus rating, that would be the first time it has happened since the 2017-18 campaign. Mayfield will next get a chance to be on the plus side of the ledger when the Isles take on the Blue Jackets on Thursday.
