New York Islanders launch docuseries season two amid Barzal injury

The New York Islanders are preparing for several developments ahead of their upcoming season. The team is launching the second season of its docuseries, ‘On the Island’, which premieres this Wednesday on YouTube. Following a first season that garnered nearly nine million engagements, the six-episode series will be sponsored by Northwell Health and will cover the team's journey from the end of last season through the draft and rookie games.

On the ice, star forward Mathew Barzal faces an injury setback. The team announced that Barzal will be sidelined for at least two weeks and will not participate in skating due to the aggravation of a prior injury that has caused inflammation. This absence occurs during the team's training camp, marking the first camp under head coach Peter DeBoer.
