Islanders' Mathew Barzal: Dealing with upper-body injury
The Islanders announced Friday that Barzal is dealing with an upper-body injury and has returned to Long Island to be evaluated by team doctors.
It's not yet clear how much time Barzal is expected to miss, and a timetable for his return won't be provided until he visits with the team's medical staff. However, he'll at least be sidelined for Friday's game against the Sabres, and it's unclear whether he'll be available for Sunday's matchup against the Rangers. Over his last five appearances, the 27-year-old has tallied a goal, an assist and a minus-4 rating while averaging 20:50 of ice time.

Islanders' Mathew Barzal: Nets lone goal in loss
Barzal scored a power-play goal on five shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Ducks.
Barzal broke up Lukas Dostal's shutout bid at 5:31 of the third period, but that was the only one of 41 shots for the Islanders to find twine. Head coach Patrick Roy had the lines in a blender all game -- his team's offense has produced one goal or less in four of nine contests now, though they've also scored four or more on four occasions. Barzal is off to a mediocre start with five points, 21 shots on net, nine blocked shots, eight hits and a minus-2 rating, and three of his points have come with the man advantage.

Islanders' Mathew Barzal: Sets up overtime winner
Barzal registered an assist, four shots on goal and two blocked shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Devils.
Barzal found Bo Horvat for the game-winning goal in overtime. The 27-year-old Barzal is up to four points, 16 shots on net, eight blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through seven contests. His spot on the top line is secure, and his offense should more or less mirror the Islanders' overall production -- they've been inconsistent as a team with three shutout losses so far, which partially explains Barzal's somewhat limited offense.

Islanders' Mathew Barzal: Scores empty-netter Monday
Barzal scored an empty-net goal in Monday's 6-2 win over the Avalanche.

This was Barzal's first goal of the campaign, and he's notched points in two of his first three appearances, as he aims to build on a 2023-24 campaign in which he reached the 80-point plateau, including a career-high 23 goals, in 80 regular-season games.

Islanders' Mathew Barzal: Snags helper in loss
Barzal banked a power-play assist in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss versus Utah.
Barzal had the secondary assist on Anthony Duclair's first-period power-play marker. Barzal added one shot, one block and a plus-1 rating in 22:46 of ice time. The right-shot forward has had a revolving door of linemates throughout his NHL career, but he should have some stability in that regard with Duclair and Bo Horvat this season. Barzal finished at a point-per-game pace (80 points in 80 games) in 2023-24, and that number should be within reach again in 2024-25 when factoring in his first-line role and spot on the top power-play group.
