Islanders: Best Player To Wear Number 11

22 players have skated for the New York Islanders while wearing the number 11 on their back. The first to ever do it was Dave Hudson in 1973-1974. Some other notables who wore it were Randy Wood, Darius Kasparaitis, Mattias Weinhandl, Lubomir Visnovsky, and most recently Tanner Fritz.

Of that bunch, our honorable mention today wiki be Randy Wood. For seven years, he wore the number for the Islanders. He made his NHL debut in 1986-1987 and in 1988 he finished eighth in Calder voting.

That year, Wood had 38 points (22 goals, 16 assists).
