After a bit of a rough start for the New York Islanders, Mat Barzal has been a shining light this year. Almost a month ago he and the Islanders agreed to a three-year contract to keep him playing for New York. This season he has continued to show his worth and has even shown a big improvement from last season.
Barzal is leading the team in points for his team this season.
