There seems to be no question that the Islanders have got a gem of a prospect in Mathew Barzal. He spent a very short time with the big club this season before being sent back to the WHL, where Barzal had a very good year.
He had 10 goals and 69 assists for 79 points, while also having a 32 +/-. His strong play has continued through the Thunderbirds playoff run and last night was no different.
He finished with two goals and one assist in their 7-4 Game 5 win. Here’s a look at his first goal that tied the game up at two.
