Looking back on this summer, the chances were bleak for NY Islanders players making an Olympic roster. However, due to the team's surprising start to the 2025-26 season, multiple players appear to be in contention for a spot after the final cut.
The Canadians, with the deepest pool of quality players, are reportedly down to deciding on the final five roster spots, according to Pierre LeBrun of TSN - two at forward, two on defense, and one in net.
Horvat and Schaefer are still being considered for Team Canada at the Olympics
Two of the players they are considering are Bo Horvat and Matthew Schaefer.
