4 years agoNew York Islanders center Mathew Barzal (undisclosed) will be back in the lineup on Thursday against New Jersey, after missing his first game of the year in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to Buffalo. The club gave to reason for his absence, so they must've just rested Barzal with the postseason berth already wrapped up. Barzal leads the Islanders this season with 41 points in 52 games. He has managed 15 goals and 26 assists with 129 shots The young centerman should be activated by fantasy managers straight away, with this being a matchup against one of the weakest teams in the league.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
