New York Islanders star Mathew Barzal made an early exit from the team’s road trip due to an upper-body injury.

The Islanders announced Friday that Barzal returned to Long Island to meet with team physicians, after which a time frame for his recovery will be announced.

Barzal, 27, led all New York forwards with 22:46 of ice time in Wednesday night’s 2-0 loss at Columbus.

He has two goals and three assists through 10 games this season, his ninth with the Islanders.

The road trip concludes with games at Buffalo on Friday night and against the New York Rangers on Sunday afternoon.

Barzal has 447 points (130 goals, 317 assists) in 510 games since the Islanders drafted him with the 16th overall pick in 2015.
