Islanders' Mathew Barzal: Considered game-time decision again

Barzal is considered a game-time decision for Friday's matchup against the Canucks due to maintenance purposes, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Barzal was absent from Friday's morning skate, but he's slated to take warmups ahead of puck drop against Vancouver. The 28-year-old was also deemed a game-time decision for Tuesday's game against the Red Wings before ultimately being cleared to suit up.
