ISLANDERS TEAM NEWS CENTER

Mathew Barzal - F

New York Islanders

Mathew Barzal is confident he'll work out a new contract with the Islanders, but there hasn't been any dialogue to that end during the NHL pause.

The NHL has been suspended indefinitely as of March 12. "To be honest with you guys, I don't think there's been too much communication, and not because there's anything negative or anything, it's just Lou's getting ready for a playoff run right now, and I'm still worried about this season as well," Barzal said. "I'm not too too worried about it, just because I don't think the season is over yet. I think we're still going to be playing." There's another potential factor to the silence on the contract front: the salary cap. Until the Islanders know what the salary cap will be like in 2020-21, it's hard for Islanders GM Lou Lamoriello to properly determine what kind of offer he can reasonably make Barzal. Most of the time general managers have a decent range that they suspect next year's cap will full within, but this year its up in the air. Whether or not the playoffs happen and in what format will potentially have a big impact on the cap and right now the future of the 2019-20 season isn't something that anyone can definitively predict. In the meantime, Barzal is set to become a restricted free agent this summer.

G. Pateryn - D

MIN

Greg Pateryn should be ready around December, according to Wild GM Bill Guerin.

Paterun didn't participate in the NHL's Return to Play because of an upper-body injury, which required surgery to repair.

S. Bennett - C

CGY

Sam Bennett thrived on the Flames third line against Winnipeg.

Bennett took over from the then-injured Derek Ryan and scored twice and added an assist in four games against the Jets, playing alongside Dillon Dube and Milan Lucic. Bennett also had a team-high 22 hits in the series and looks to be a vital cog in the Flames lineup as they play for Lord Stanley's Cup. He had only eight goals and 12 points in 52 regular season games but Bennett is a player built for the rigors of the playoffs.

V. Husso - G

Ville Husso was the backup goaltender for St. Louis Sunday.

Jake Allen picked up the start and Jordan Binnington was not dressed as the Blues dropped a 2-1 decision in a shootout to Dallas. The Stanley Cup playoffs will start on Tuesday and the Blues will face Vancouver Canucks in the best-of-seven opening round.

K. Kaprizov - F

MIN

Kirill Kaprizov is on his way to Minnesota after finally landing in the United States.

Kaprizov is the top prospect outside the NHL and the Wild inked their fifth-round pick in 2015 to a two-year entry-level deal on July 13. He was hoping to get his U.S. work visa a lot quicker so he could have joined the Wild in practice but that was not to be. He has it now and will head to Minnesota for the first time. Kaprizov had 33 goals and 62 points in 57 games with CSKA Moscow last season. He is a must-take in fantasy drafts next season, likely in the middle rounds.

J. Compher - F

COL

J.T. Compher is turning into a solid third line center for the Avalanche.

Compher had a big game Saturday against Vegas and earned kudos from coach Jared Bednar. “A big goal from the Compher line getting it in on the forecheck and bringing us back to even,” Bednar said. “Going into the playoffs, you have to expect that teams are going to check you hard. That’s the goal of every team.” He is playing with Andre Burkovsky and Joonas Donskoi and the trio will be important cogs in the Avs march to the Stanley Cup.

K. Dach - F

CHI

Vegas head coach Peter DeBoer was really impressed with the change in Kirby Dach.

Dach got bigger and stronger during the NHL pause and it did not go unnoticed by DeBoer. “He’s one guy that has caught my eye here,” said DeBoer. “In the live games I’ve watched of other teams, I thought that he’s a kid that used the four months and came back and really looks like a different player.” Dach had four assists in four games against Edmonton in the play-in series after scoring eight times and adding 15 assists in 64 games in his rookie campaign and is now a member of the first power play unit. He is someone to watch as Dach was taken third overall in the 2019 Draft.

O. Ekman-Larsson - D

ARI

Oliver Ekman-Larsson is in the Stanley Cup playoffs for only the second time in his career.

It has been eight years since Ekman-Larsson last played in the playoffs and it has been so long, that the Coyotes were still called the Phoenix Coyotes. OEL went to the Western Conference final against Los Angeles at the time and he finished with a goal and four points in 16 games in his sophomore season. "It's been great," Ekman-Larsson said in a Zoom call with reporters on Sunday of the Coyotes making the playoffs this season. "I decided to stay here and this is where I want to be. To be a part of a playoff team and what we're trying to do here is important to me and it's one of the reasons why I love Arizona. To get this chance to be here with the guys, it's very special." Ekman-Larsson had nine goals and 30 points this season and is not the offensive stud he was earlier in his career.

C. Giroux - F

PHI

Claude Giroux was held pointless in the round-robin tournament.

Giroux was the only Flyer forward unable to hit the scoresheet. He had 21 goals and 53 points in the regular season, good for fourth overall on Philadelphia. He is worth a high pick in fantasy playoff pools only if you think the Flyers are going a long way in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
