What happened: Mathew Barzal returns to the New York Islanders lineup on Saturday night. Defenseman Brock Faber is also back in action following his medical clearance.

Why it matters: Barzal provides immediate scoring depth after New York adjusted its roster earlier in the day. The return stabilizes the top forward group for the regular-season schedule.

What to watch: The New York Islanders are scheduled for puck drop Saturday at 10:00 PM ET.
