11 players for the New York Islanders wore the number 37 in their history. The first to ever do it was Jeff Finley from 1988-1990, with Dennis Vaske, Jeff Libby, Dmitri Nabokov, Jeremy Colliton, and Brian Strait as notables.
Of that bunch, we're going to go with Dennis Vaske for the honorable mention. Vaske was selected by the Islanders in the second round of the 1986 NHL Draft. It took until the 1990-91 season before he made his NHL debut playing five games that year.
His best year with the Isles came in the 1993-1994 season when he had 13 points (2 goals, 11 assists) in 65 games and a plus-21.
