Ruled out indefinitely Barzal will be out indefinitely after suffering a lower-body injury against Boston on Saturday.

Impact Barzal's absence will be a huge blow for a team in the midst of a competitive playoff race, especially after shelling out to bring in Bo Horvat ahead of the trade deadline. In those seven games with Horvat on the team, the 25-year-old Barzal was on an offensive tear with two goals and six assists, including a trio of power-play points. With Barzal sidelined, Simon Holmstrom could find himself elevated to a first-line role.

Impact Barzal logged just three shifts in the game, though the Islanders haven't provided an official explanation for his absence. He should be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's game versus the Penguins.

Two helpers in Friday's win Barzal picked up two assists in Friday's 5-4 win over the Penguins.

Impact He set up both of Anders Lee's tallies on the night. The addition of Bo Horvat to the Islanders' lineup has lit a fire under Barzal, and over the last seven games the 25-year-old has produced three goals and nine points, putting him back on pace for his best season since his 2017-18 rookie breakout.

Sets new career high in GWG Barzal scored the game-winning goal in Monday's 2-1 win over the Flyers.

Impact He redirected a Brock Nelson feed past Carter Hart midway through the second period to give the Islanders a 2-0 lead that Semyon Varlamov was able to make hold up. Barzal is more known for his playmaking that his sniping and hasn't reached the 20-goal mark in a season since 2017-18, but the 25-year-old is making his tallies count this season. He's already set a new career high with five game-winners, despite scoring only 13 goals through 52 games.

Brushes twine in victory Barzal found the back of the net in Monday's 2-1 win over the Flyers.

Impact Barzal put some lumber on a Noah Dobson shot and deflected the puck into the cage for his 13th goal and 44th point of the season. He's been clutch with five game-winning goals, and the addition of Bo Horvat -- formerly the Canucks captain -- figures to be a major boon to Barzal down the stretch.
