Despite the return of Mathew Barzal, the Islanders' offensive struggles continue with a dismal 11.0% power play success, contrasting sharply with last year's average of 20.3%.
Injuries to key players like Barzal, Pelech, and Duclair have detrimentally impacted team depth, forcing players into unfamiliar roles and significantly affecting their overall performance.
The Islanders' penalty kill, now ranked last in the league with a 64.7% success rate, highlights ongoing defensive issues that are symptomatic of the season's struggles.
The return of Adam Pelech and Anthony Duclair hasn't generated a significant positive impact, further complicating the already stretched-thin defense and offensive inefficiency.
