Impact Barzal has been nearly unstoppable of late, recording three or more points in three of his last four contests for a combined four goals and seven helpers, including a trio of power-play assists. At this rate, Barzal should be a lock to reach the 50-point mark for the third straight season and could get to 60 for the first time since 2019-20.

Out Saturday with illness Barzal will miss Saturday's game against Florida because of an illness.

Impact Barzal has seven goals and 23 points in 22 contests this season. He's been especially effective recently, providing two goals and seven points over his last two games.

Leads Islanders to victory Barzal had a goal and three assists in the Islanders' 5-4 overtime win over Carolina on Thursday.

Impact Barzal is red hot, providing two goals and eight points over his last two outings. That's pushed him up to seven markers and 23 points in 22 contests this season.

Three-point effort in loss Barzal scored a goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Devils.

Impact His performance led the Islanders to a 4-2 lead heading into the third period, but the team faded over the final 20 minutes. Barzal has three multi-point efforts over the last seven games, and on the season the 26-year-old is up to six goals and 19 points through 21 contests, including two tallies and six helpers on the power play. It's taken a while, but Barzal appears to be regaining the point-a-game form he hasn't flashed since his rookie season back in 2017-18.

Four-game, six-point streak Barzal scored a goal in a 5-4 shootout win over the Flames on Saturday. It was his fourth goal of the season.

Impact Barzal has six points (two goals, four assists) on a four-game point streak, and seven points (two goals, five assists) in his past six games. His 6.8 shooting percentage is well below his career mark of 10.8, so watch for the playmaker's goal total to start to climb as those numbers stabilize. Despite the Isles' recent seven-game losing streak, Barzal appears to have taken an offensive step forward. Or maybe we should say, an offensive step toward his rookie season, an 85-point outburst he's never replicated. Barzal has four goals and 11 assists in 17 games this season.

Records two helpers Barzal posted two assists and one shot in the Islanders' 4-3 shootout loss to the Kraken on Thursday.

Impact Barzal picked up helpers on goals by Casey Cizikas and Noah Dobson.

On the season, the Canadian forward has three goals and 14 points in 16 games.

Contributes two helpers Barzal logged a pair of assists and six shots on goal in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canucks.

Impact Barzal helped out on Brock Nelson's power-play goal in the first period and Bo Horvat's even-strength marker in the second. Through seven games in November, Barzal has posted two goals and four helpers, showing some steady offense in a top-line role. He's at 12 points (five on the power play), 56 shots and a minus-2 rating through 15 appearances this season.

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.
