Mathew Barzal Plays Key Role in Comeback Victory

New York Islanders forward Mathew Barzal tallied three points (one goal, two assists) in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win against the Pittsburgh Penguins. All of Barzal's points came after the second intermission. He first tied the score at three, then set up goals by Ryan Pulock and Bo Horvat as the Islanders turned the game on its head. Barzal has been hot throughout 2026, earning him a spot on the top line alongside Horvat. The 28-year-old has scored in five of his last six outings and has earned 20 points (six goals, 14 assists) over a 16-game stretch. It's been an impressive comeback season for Barzal, who missed a large chunk of 2024-25 due to a knee injury. He leads the Islanders in scoring, posting 50 points (16 goals, 34 assists) in 56 games.

Mathew Barzal a Game-Time Call Tuesday

New York Islanders forward Mathew Barzal (undisclosed) is a game-time decision on Tuesday against the Detroit Red Wings. The Islanders may be without their top two centermen for the contest, as Bo Horvat (lower body) will remain out for a second straight game. Barzal has entered the new week of action with a four-game point streak. He leads the Islanders with 16 assists, adding nine goals in 32 appearances. Due to the team's injury situation, Jonathan Drouin may slot in at center on Tuesday night, while Calum Ritchie and Jean-Gabriel Pageau are likely to see increased usage.

Mathew Barzal Leads Islanders Past Avalanche

New York Islanders forward Mathew Barzal played a leading role in Thursday's big matchup against the league-leading Colorado Avalanche, factoring in half of his team's goals in a 6-3 victory. He had two assists before scoring the Islanders' fifth goal on the power play late in the second frame. Barzal had recorded only one point in his previous five outings. Recently, Barzal has struggled to make an impact, but his season has gone well in general. The 28-year-old is the Islanders' second-highest scorer, with 21 points (eight goals, 13 assists) through 27 outings. As a member of the top six and the first power-play unit, Barzal averages over 21 minutes of ice time. His scoring rate could significantly improve if the Islanders sort out their power play, which is currently one of the worst in the league at 13.8 percent.

Mathew Barzal Scratched on Thursday for Disciplinary Reasons

New York Islanders forward Mathew Barzal will be a healthy scratch on Thursday against the Carolina Hurricanes. Islanders head coach Patrick Roy announced that he will bench Barzal after he was late to the rink on Thursday morning. Currently, Barzal is tied for second in scoring on the Islanders squad with eight points (two goals, six assists) in nine games. Calum Ritchie will come into the lineup as Barzal's replacement, making his NHL debut. He has tallied one goal and two assists in three AHL outings this season.

Mathew Barzal Good to Go for Season Opener

New York Islanders forward Mathew Barzal (kneecap) told reporters at the NHL/NHLPA player media tour that he is ready for the start of the season. Barzal's 2024-25 campaign ended in early February when he injured his kneecap and underwent surgery. While he feels ready to play again, Barzal acknowledged that he may never return to full health. "Injuries like this, you potentially never feel back at 100%," Barzal said. "But mentally, I'm at a point now where it doesn't really matter. If I'm feeling great, if maybe one day I'm a little sore or whatever, it is what it is." Barzal was a point-per-game player just a couple of seasons ago, and it will be interesting to see how he performs following his knee injury.

Mathew Barzal To Miss Roughly Six Weeks

New York Islanders forward Mathew Barzal (knee) is expected to be out for around six weeks. TSN's Pierre LeBrun reports that the Islanders star had a minor procedure on his injured kneecap on Thursday. Barzal has been sidelined for the past four games. He also missed time with an upper-body injury earlier in the campaign and has skated in only 30 games this term. There are six goals and 14 assists on Barzal's account. Anthony Duclair has taken on Barzal's duties on the first line and the first power-play unit. However, Duclair has been a disappointment for fantasy managers. He is on a seven-game scoring drought and has notched only eight points (four goals, four assists) in 26 games for the season.

Mathew Barzal Out Indefinitely

New York Islanders forward Mathew Barzal (lower body) will be out indefinitely, the team announced on Monday. Barzal suffered a lower-body injury in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Islanders star also missed time with an upper-body injury earlier in the season. He has skated in only 30 games, recording six goals and 20 points. Anthony Duclair skated on the first line instead of Barzal on Sunday against the Florida Panthers. His struggles this season continued, as Duclair went scoreless in a 6-3 loss without registering any shots on goal. For the season, Duclair has scored only four goals and eight points in 23 appearances.

Mathew Barzal Ruled Out For 4-6 Weeks

New York Islanders forward Mathew Barzal (upper body) has been ruled out for 4-6 weeks. The Islanders star was injured in Wednesday's 2-0 loss to Columbus. Barzal has been placed on long-term Injured Reserve. With Barzal out, Anders Lee and Jean-Gabriel Pageau joined Bo Horvat on the first line on Friday versus Buffalo. The trio remained intact for Saturday's practice and will likely see more time together in Sunday's Battle of New York against the Rangers.

Mathew Barzal Getting Tests Done For Upper-Body Injury

New York Islanders forward Mathew Barzal (upper-body) has traveled back to New York to see team doctors about an upper-body injury. Barzal played in Wednesday's game against Columbus, logging 22:46 TOI, but evidently something happened late in that game or the day after. Barzal will not play Friday against Buffalo and could be looking at a long-term injury based on the way the team is talking about it. The Isles are already having trouble scoring, so their best offensive player missing any chunk of time would be a dagger.

Mathew Barzal Bags OT Winner Saturday

New York Islanders center Mathew Barzal scored in double overtime in Game 4 on Saturday, helping his team avoid a four-game sweep at the hands of the Carolina Hurricanes. The 26-year-old tipped a Robert Bortuzzo shot to beat Frederik Andersen just 1:24 into the second overtime frame, notching his second goal of the game after tying the tilt at one apiece midway through the second period. Barzal had tallied just one assist through the first three games of the series but came up big when his team needed it the most on Saturday. Game 5 of the series goes Tuesday as the series switches back to Carolina.

Mathew Barzal Tallies Two Assists In Sunday's Win

New York Islanders forward Mathew Barzal recorded two assists as new head coach Patrick Roy made a winning start with the team on Sunday against Dallas. Barzal helped Alexander Romanov to open the scoring with less than three minutes played, and he set up Bo Horvat for a 3-2 game-winner with only 41 seconds gone in overtime. It's the 10th game of the season with multiple assists for the talented playmaker. Barzal has had 36 assists in total for the season while adding 12 goals in 45 appearances. Despite the team's struggles this season, Barzal boasts a career-best scoring rate of 1.07 points per game.

Mathew Barzal Scores Lone Islanders Goal In Monday's Defeat

New York Islanders forward Mathew Barzal reached 10 points for the season with the team's only goal in Monday's 4-1 defeat against the Oilers. Barzal put the Islanders ahead with only 40 seconds played, but they couldn't find any more ways to get past Stuart Skinner in the Edmonton goal. The Islanders have had a couple of tough weeks, but Barzal has stayed productive, bagging four points during the team's five-game losing streak. Across the entire season, Barzal has tallied three goals and seven assists in 14 outings.

Mathew Barzal Ready To Return In Game 1

New York Islanders forward Mathew Barzal (lower body) is on track to return to the lineup in Game 1 of the first-round series against Carolina on Monday. The Islanders lost the star forward back in mid-February to a lower-body injury. Barzal tallied 14 goals and 51 points in 58 games before getting injured, so the team suffered a huge loss, but the Islanders still managed to make it into the postseason, giving Barzal a chance to return to action. He's been the team's first-line center but moved to the right wing when the Islanders traded for Bo Horvat. The two practiced with Anders Lee on the top line Friday.

Mathew Barzal Ruled Out Indefinitely

New York Islanders forward Mathew Barzal (lower body) has been ruled out indefinitely. He was injured Saturday against Boston and will start an extended absence with Monday's matchup versus Pittsburgh. It's a bitter blow for the Islanders, who are battling for a playoff spot and just made a big move in the trade market by bringing in Bo Horvat from Vancouver. Barzal leads the team with 37 assists and sits second in scoring with 51 points in 58 games. The Islanders attack has also recently lost Josh Bailey (upper body) and Jean-Gabriel Pageau (upper body) to injuries.

Mathew Barzal Exits With Injury

New York Islanders forward Mathew Barzal suffered an undisclosed injury early into Saturday's clash with the Bruins. He took only three shifts in the game and finished with 1:32 of ice time. Islanders head coach Lane Lambert didn't have an immediate update on Barzal's status after the game. If he misses any time, it's a massive blow for the team, as Barzal sits among the Islanders' top scorers with 51 points in 58 games. He leads the squad with 37 assists and is an integral part of what the team is trying to do.

Mathew Barzal Collects Three Points

New York Islanders center Mathew Barzal has started to heat up and racked up three points in Thursday's high-scoring 6-5 loss to Vancouver. He netted his 14th goal of the campaign early in the second period and added two assists, one on the power play. Barzal is now on a four-game point streak, scoring in three of the contests. He has been moved to the wing to accommodate Bo Horvat and it's worked out well for both players so far. Horvat scored in a second consecutive game on Thursday. Josh Bailey is also on the line, and he could be a great pickup in deep fantasy leagues if he finds some form.

Mathew Barzal Dealing With A Lower-Body Injury

New York Islanders center Mathew Barzal was a late scratch Friday against Calgary due to a lower-body injury. Head coach Lane Lambert said after the game that Barzal is dealing with a "tweak". The injury doesn't sound serious and the team is considering Barzal day-to-day. New York's star man was forced to exit the lineup with a five-game goal streak. Barzal has been making up for lost time after struggling massively to score at the start of the campaign. He leads the team with 41 points in 40 games, and with the next matchup not coming until Monday, there seems to be a good chance that Barzal misses only this one game.

Mathew Barzal Remains Hot Against Vancouver

New York Islanders center Mathew Barzal scored in a fourth consecutive game and handed out two assists as the team dominated against the Canucks on Tuesday with a 6-2 victory. Barzal ended up logging the game-winning goal and one of his helpers came with the man advantage. The talented playmaker has always enjoyed facing his hometown team, notching at least one point in all eight career appearances against the Canucks. Barzal hasn't done badly against other teams either and is now averaging over a point per game for the season, with 10 goals and 30 assists recorded in 39 outings.

Mathew Barzal Pots A Power-Play Goal

New York Islanders center Mathew Barzal scored the team's only goal in Friday's 4-1 defeat to Nashville, netting on the power play 11:06 into the third period. He had a whopping nine shots in total in the contest and registered one hit with a minus-two rating in 20:06 of action. It's been a strange season for Barzal, as he is averaging over a point per game but this was only his third goal of the campaign. He sits among the league's best set-up men with 24 assists. Barzal is a 10.7 percent career shooter, so he has a lot of room for improvement from his current 4.7 shooting percentage.
