Islanders’ Mathew Barzal Won’t Skate for Two Weeks After Aggravating an Injury
The Islanders said Mathew Barzal will miss two weeks after a prior injury flared up, leaving his status for the season opener uncertain.
- On Wednesday, the New York Islanders announced star center Mathew Barzal will not skate for two weeks due to "aggravation of a prior injury that has caused some inflammation."
- The team's decision sidelines Barzal as training camp opens Thursday under head coach Pete DeBoer, who identified the center as a key leader alongside captain Bo Horvat.
- With the NHL shifting to an 84-game schedule, the Islanders open their season on Sept. 30 in Toronto against the Maple Leafs, placing Barzal's participation in jeopardy.
- Islanders officials stated the player is "actively working to get back to full health," emphasizing nobody is more committed than Barzal to returning to the ice.
- This setback follows a 2024-25 campaign where injuries limited Barzal to only 30 games, contrasting sharply with last season when he played 81 games and recorded 72 points.
