Islanders’ Mat Barzal out with upper-body injury

Things keep getting worse for the New York Islanders.

Top forward Mat Barzal has returned to Long Island with an upper-body injury, the team announced Friday.

A timeline for his absence will be determined after he meets with doctors.

The Islanders (3-5-2) are last in the Eastern Conference standings and have lost three games in a row.

Defenceman Alexander Romanov and forward Anthony Duclair also are sidelined with injuries.

Barzal, a native of Coquitlam, B.C., led the Islanders in scoring last season with 80 points (23 goals, 57 assists) in 80 games.

The three-time All-Star has two goals and three assists in 10 games this season.
