Islanders’ Mat Barzal, Bo Horvat line pairing could unlock something special

Having Mat Barzal and Bo Horvat on two different lines certainly wasn’t the Islanders’ biggest problem through 10 games. If anything, moving Barzal back to center was working reasonably well, and Horvat’s line with Jonathan Drouin and Emil Heineman was the Islanders’ best. And still, there is something different — something extra — that gets unlocked when the Islanders’ best two forwards are playing alongside each other.
