    New York Islanders 2023-24 Report Cards: Mat Barzal

    Mathew Barzal, the face of the New York Islanders, began the 2023-24 season in full health after suffering an injury to finish last season. While this may look to be an outlier for his point totals, it is likely just the beginning, as his offensive production is poised to increase once more talent is added to his line.

    With An OT Win, The Islanders Have One More Shot At Making History

    The Islanders as we know them will play at least one more game. “It doesn't have to be pretty, you know?” Roy said after Mathew Barzal redirected a shot by Robert Bortuzzo 1:24 into the second overtime to lift the Islanders to a 3-2 win over the Hurricanes in Game 4 of an Eastern Conference first-round series. With the win, the Islanders avoided being swept, forced a Game 5 tonight in North Carolina and redirected the conversation from what will happen to the longest-tenured core in the four professional sports after this season to can the longest-tenured core in the four professional sports do what has only been achieved a handful of times in history? With the Rangers completing a sweep of the Capitals in the NHL, the NBA's Thunder and Timberwolves dispatching of the Pelicans and Suns in four games and the NHL's Panthers and NBA's Nuggets finishing off the Lightning and Lakers, respectively, in five games, teams that race out to a three games to none lead in a best-of-seven series are now 296-5 all-time in the aforementioned series.
