Barzal (knee) has been skating on his own, but there is no timeline for his return, according to Andrew Gross of Newsday on Monday.
Barzal hasn't played yet in the 2026-27 campaign. Once he resumes practicing with his teammates, a clearer picture of his timeline should emerge. Barzal posted 19 goals, 72 points and 184 shots on net in 81 appearances for the Islanders during the 2025-26 regular season.
