With the star forward yet to begin skating as he rehabs a suspected knee injury, it’s becoming harder and harder to see how he’ll return before the playoffs.
Zach Parise thinks Mathew Barzal is probably a little tired of hearing his teammates ask how he’s doing.
The only thing resembling a timeline that the Islanders have given regarding the injury is that they plan to have Barzal back “before the end of the season” — phrasing that leaves out whether the intention is the end of the regular season or before the Islanders’ playoff run ends. The Islanders declined a request for Barzal to speak to reporters, even though he is not on injured reserve.“It can do a lot,” Parise said. “I thought him and Bo [Horvat] had some good chemistry when they were playing together. And it’s just the trickle-down effect. He plays on the top power play, dynamic forward, it’ll help out our scoring, it’ll help out our team a lot.”
