New York Islanders forward Mathew Barzal is out indefinitely with a lower-body injury, the team announced Monday.
Barzal, 27, played Saturday in a 3-2 overtime win over Tampa Bay but left late in regulation after blocking a shot.
He has six goals and 14 assists through 30 games this season, his ninth with the Islanders. He spent time on long-term injured reserve earlier this season due to a upper-body injury.
Barzal has 462 points (134 goals, 328 assists) in 530 games since the Islanders drafted him with the 16th overall pick in 2015.
The Islanders also announced that defenseman Scott Mayfield is day-to-day with a lower-body injury. Mayfield has seven points (two goals, five assists) in 50 games this season. He has blocked 87 shots and sports a plus-14 rating.
