Barzal's return timing and impact on Islanders' top-six chemistry could shift fantasy projections for surrounding players. How would you adjust co-ordinated line optics and power-play roles if he returns at 100%?
Qwiket AI:
Barzal back at 100% typically boosts the Islanders’ top line and PP1. Expect better cycle time for teammates like Lee and Palmieri, with Barzal driving puck support and playmaking. If his line mates see improved zone entries and PP time, their fantasy ceilings rise, especially in multi-category formats where shots and assists improve with a center who commands attention.
