@AGrossNewsday · 9/28

Just announced as this with Mathew Barzal injured non-roster.

@DFOFantasy · 9/28

Mathew Barzal: Injury: Barzal (knee) was placed on the Injured Non-Roster list. https://t.co/C7JjVBkNqI

@stefen_rosner · 9/28

The #Isles are currently at 23 players. So while Mathew Barzal can come off Injured Non-Roster without waiting seven days, NYI would still need to open a roster spot before activating him. NYI is currently carrying 8D.

@AGrossNewsday · 9/28

Here’s designation for #Isles Mathew Barzal (left knee) with regard to roster and his eligibility to play when ready: He is “injured non roster” and eligible to play the same day he is placed on the roster. Designation indicates he did not pass his physical at start of TC.

@stefen_rosner · 9/28

Some clarity on the #Isles Mathew Barzal front: Barzal is on Injured Non-Roster, not IR. That means he does not count against the 23-man roster, but unlike IR, there is no seven-day minimum. Once medically cleared, he can be activated and play that same day.

Matthew Schaefer chants break out. He's not even on the ice yet. #Isles

NEW@stefen_rosner · 10/3

#Isles will be without Mathew Barzal vs. #NJDevils, vs. #NYR on Tuesday and we'll see about Thursday vs. #Blackhawks (doubtful). He'll return to skating next Thur/Fri, and if all goes well, should return to the lineup soon after. @TheHockeyNews https://t.co/XAakHiDQUx

@stefen_rosner · 10/1

#Isles HC Pete DeBoer preached accountability throughout camp. Opening night showed he won’t wait to adjust or hand out ice time. Duclair earned more. Schenn saw his role reduced. More @TheHockeyNews ⤵️ https://t.co/Wa6W1Oo9cL
