Islanders need so much more from Mathew Barzal, top line
NY Post
The Islanders are at their best when the workload is evenly distributed amongst all four lines.
Through the first two games of the first-round series against the Penguins, that hasn’t been the case. The Islanders need much more from their top line of Leo Komarov, Mathew Barzal and Jordan Eberle. According to Natural Stat Trick, the first line has only generated six scoring chances, two of which were high-danger opportunities. It’s safe to say that most of those have come from Eberle, who started to get more of a feel for the puck in Game 2 and had arguably the Isles’ best chance at evening the score in the third period of Tuesday’s loss.
