Mathew Barzal is the most dynamic offensive player on the New York Islanders roster right now and he's the team's brightest young star. He is entering the final year of his current contract and will be a restricted free agent next summer if the Isles don't sign him to a new contract.

Plus a 40-goal scorer from the 2000s is our Islanders Birthday of the Day.

All this and more on today's Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.
