WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) — Mathew Barzal said he’s still looking for his game. The Winnipeg Jets might disagree.
Barzal scored two power-play goals in the second period and Semyon Varlamov made 32 saves in the New York Islanders’ 3-1 victory over Winnipeg on Thursday night.
“I’m just trying to play my game,” Barzal said. “I’ve got pretty good linemates, so I’m just trying to feed them a little bit as well. The chemistry has been pretty good. I’m just trying to find my game still, just day by day just trying to get better.”
New York coach Barry Trotz has pressed Barzal to shoot more.
