The New York Islanders started their season off with a top line of Anthony Beauvillier – Mathew Barzal – Josh Bailey. It made sense due to Bailey’s production over the last two years and then add in the chemistry between Barzal and Beauvillier and what could go wrong?
The Islanders quickly dismantled that line and put it in the blender with Anthony Beauvillier struggling to produce points at the start of this year.
In seven games he has zero points on the season. Clearly, it’s not an ideal start for Beau but the Isles aren’t helping his cause.
