Can New York Islanders forward Mathew Barzal have a breakout season this year? Barzy has looked more aggressive with the puck in the preseason and is shooting more. We break down what he's doing differently, how his chemistry with Bo Horvat looks and what to look for once the season starts.

Plus, we break down the Isles 6-5 loss to the New Jersey Devils and discuss Ilya Sorokin's performance as well as the team's defense in front of him.

And we look at Bo Horvat's season, what his role will be and what he needs to do to be successful.

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