The New York Islanders announced on Saturday forward Mathew Barzal has been activated and added to the active roster while forward Kyle MacLean has been placed on non-roster waivers.   

Barzal missed the first 18 games of the 2026-27 season as he had been dealing with left knee inflammation.   

Barzal led the Islanders with 72 points (19G, 53A) in 81 games last season. Barzal has totaled 534 points (153G, 381A) in 611 career games with the Islanders.

It’s still yet to be determined if Barzal will play against the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday. Stay tuned for updates following morning skate.   

The 27-year-old MacLean played eight games with the Isles this season and recorded 17 points (10G, 17A) over 180 career games over the last four seasons.
