New York Islanders center Mathew Barzal placed on injured reserve

Ottawa Senators v New York Islanders

New York Islanders center Mathew Barzal has been placed on injured reserve due to a lower-body injury that has kept him out of action since February 20th. Barzal is yet to start skating, and his return to the ice before the end of the regular season is starting to look uncertain.

Barzal's absence has been felt by the Islanders as he is one of their top players, contributing 14 goals and 51 points in 58 games this season. His dynamic offensive skills and ability to make plays on the ice make him a valuable asset to the team.

While Barzal's injury has been a setback for the Islanders, they have managed to maintain a competitive edge, currently holding fourth place in the Metropolitan Division with a record of 38-28-9 after playing 75 games.

The Islanders will undoubtedly miss Barzal's contributions on the ice, but they have shown resilience and determination in his absence. With the playoffs quickly approaching, the team will need to continue to work hard and stay focused to secure their spot in the postseason.

New York Islanders defenseman Sebastian Aho placed on injured reserve

Carolina Hurricanes v Philadelphia Flyers

New York Islanders defenseman Sebastian Aho has been placed on injured reserve due to an upper-body injury that has caused him to miss his fifth consecutive game. Aho did not travel with the team to Washington for Wednesday's matchup, and it is uncertain when he will be cleared to play.

Prior to his injury, Aho had registered points in four of his last seven games, but had struggled to find the back of the net, going 10 games without a goal. Despite his scoring drought, Aho's contributions on the blue line have been important for the Islanders this season, and his absence will be felt by the team.

In Aho's absence, Samuel Bolduc has been called upon to fill his spot on the blue line. Bolduc, a 20-year-old prospect, has shown promise in his limited time with the team, but will need to continue to develop his skills to become a reliable option for the Islanders.

The Islanders will be hoping that Aho's injury is not a long-term issue and that he will be able to return to the ice soon.

Another player on injured reserve includes Oliver Wahlstrom (Lower body).
