NOVEMBER 5, 2023 • NHL.COM
Quietly effective Barzal had a goal and an assist in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.
Impact It was a pretty snipe. Barzal pushed the lead to 3-0 when he took a return pass from Bo Horvat and scored on a nifty backhand-forehand move in tight. This was Barzal's first multipoint game of the season and his second goal. He has two goals and six assists in 10 games played, which is a 65-point pace. His output may seem quiet, but he's a solid fantasy citizen.

Lone helper not enough Barzal registered an assist to complement six shots on goal in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Devils.
Impact This is Barzal's eighth year in the league with all of his service time tied to the Islanders. He's been a dependable contributor for fantasy managers abound, but Barzal has gone against the grain based on an 85-point, Calder Trophy-winning rookie output being his best one to date. Of course, Barzal was bogged down by a lower-body injury last season, and therefore, he didn't get a chance to sync much with then-newcomer Bo Horvat, but now those two are building chemistry on the top line.

Tallies lone goal in win Barzal scored a goal on five shots in Tuesday's 1-0 victory over the Coyotes.
Impact Barzal snapped a scoreless tie early in the second period, ripping a slapshot past Karel Vejmelka in the opening seconds of an Islanders' power play. It's the first point of the season for Barzal after he tallied 14 goals and 37 points in 58 games in an injury-shortened 2022-23 campaign. The 26-year-old Barzal's opened the year on the Islanders' first line alongside Bo Horvat and Simon Holmstrom while continuing to work on the top power-play unit.

APRIL 17, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM
Expects to play in Game 1 Barzal (lower body) is expected to play in the Islanders' playoff opener Monday versus Carolina, Denis Gorman of NHL.com reports.
Impact Barzal declared himself good to go following Friday's practice. He finished second on the Islanders with 51 points and 37 assists despite missing the final 23 games of the regular season. Barzal is projected to play on the top line and first power-play unit.

Skating at practice Friday Barzal (lower body) is at practice Friday, according to Stefen Rosner of The Hockey News.
Impact Barzal missed the final 23 games of the season with the injury. He had 14 goals and 37 assists in 58 games this season, including four tallies and 19 points on the power play. Barzal hopes to be in the lineup Monday for Game 1 against the Hurricanes.

Out Wednesday Barzal (lower body) isn't expected to play Wednesday versus Montreal.
Impact Barzal was on the ice before Wednesday's optional skate, but he hasn't resumed practicing yet. This is the Islanders' regular-season finale, but they have a chance to make the playoffs and if they do, then Barzal might be available for that. He has 14 goals and 51 points in 58 contests in 2022-23.
APRIL 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
No guarantee for Game 1 Barzal (lower body) is not guaranteed to return for the Islanders' first playoff game, Greg Wyshynski of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Barzal missed the last 23 games of the regular season, but the Islanders clinched a playoff spot Wednesday, so he'll still have something to work his way back to this season. The NHL postseason begins Monday, but Barzal isn't practicing yet, so it remains unclear when he might return.
