The 20-year-old continues to make a strong case to suit up for the Islanders on Oct. 6 against the Columbus Blue Jackets.Im just trying to work hard and take advantage of the opportunity theyre giving me right now, Barzal said. Theyve been putting me into some key situations, playing the power play and stuff, so Derrick Henry Jersey Im just trying to make the most of it and try to do everything right.Barzals quinte sential moment came against the Devils on Monday night.With the man-advantage, Barzal carried the puck end-to-end and finished the play by rifling it over Devils goaltender Keith Kinkaid. Even with Kinkaid sprawling for the poke check, Barzals calmne s was on full display.Wow New York Islanders (@NYIslanders) I saw that I had a pretty good lane at the net, Barzal said. I knew if I brought it acro s Larrell Murchison Jersey , he would have had me so I just had to go upstairs.Doesnt seem like his heartbeat really changes, Tavares said. Hes got great poise and control with the puck, he doesnt ever really panic. You can see that enthusiasm and creativity that he has.Weight put his trust in Barzal to work on the teams first power play unit with Tavares, Jordan Eberle, Anders Lee and Nick Leddy for the first time Monday.Barzal also lined up next to veterans Jason Chimera and Steve Bernier at even strength, but Barzal didn'tfeel that a spot in the lineupis guaranteed A.J. Moore Jr. Jersey .Even with Barzal's impre sive showing through the preseason, he acknowledgedthat the organization will make adecision that is best for the team.As the Islanders needed to make the final few cuts for it's opening night roster, Barzal was one of the team's youngsters to make the final cut. Despite a le s than ideal start to his 2016 season where he logged in six penalty minutes in his debut Barzal put that behind him and is focused on the 2017 season and his new start.
