Can Mathew Barzal handle being the new focus of Islanders’ foes?

The Islanders front office is now run by Lou Lamoriello. The bench is now run by Barry Trotz. But what players will take all the attention on the ice?

Well, rest assured that all eyes will be locked on reigning Calder Trophy winner Mathew Barzal when the season opens Oct. 4 at Carolina. That includes the eyes of the opposing coaches, who now don’t have to worry about shutting down John Tavares and can focus on the 21-year-old center and his dazzling offensive skill.

“I don’t really feel that pressure,” Barzal said Friday after the team’s first day of training camp on the ice at Northwell Health Ice Center on Long Island.
