Last night, the New York Islanders won their third game in a row and it was on the back of their star, Mathew Barzal. With two second period goals, he tied the game and gave the Islanders a lead that they wouldn’t surrender as they went on to win 3-1.
Barzal isn’t a big time goal scorer, that we know after two full years in the league. He had 22 in his first season and 18 last year. While his goal total dropped by a few goals last year, he shot the puck slightly more with 179 shots vs 170 in his first year.
