New York Islanders' center Mathew Barzal has been showcasing his skills on the ice, recently achieving personal milestones and being recognized for his performance. Barzal was named the All-Star representative for the Islanders, representing the East. He reached his 399th career point and subsequently recorded his 400th career NHL point with a primary assist on Mike Reilly's goal during a 2-0 lead against Connor Ingram, with 7:59 to play in the first. This achievement made him the 17th player in franchise history to reach the 400-point milestone, with a career total of 115 goals and 285 assists. Barzal continued to add to his tally, earning his 401st point with two assists in one night, leading the team with Mike Reilly, who had six shots. However, Reilly was penalized for cross-checking, sending the Islanders to the penalty kill with 18:35 to play in the second. In one of the games, the Islanders tied with the Vegas Golden Knights at 1-1, where Barzal scored the tying goal, and the team had 11 seconds left in the game's first power play. Eichel and Barzal were the goal scorers for their respective teams, and when the Islanders' top line was on the ice, they outshot the Vegas Golden Knights 7-2.
