New York Islanders star Mathew Barzal is known for many things. He knows how to dish the puck, change direction on a dime, and send the rubber disc into the twine. But did you know he was also an actor?

New York Islanders star Mathew Barzal is known for many things.
He knows how to dish the puck, change direction on a dime, and send the rubber disc into the twine.
But did you know he was also an actor?
If you look up Barzal's name on IMDB, there won't be a profile for the forward, but did you know he was in a commercial in 2018?
After scoring 22 goals with 63 assists for 85 points in 82 games to win the Calder Trophy as the NHL's 2017-18 Rookie of the Year, the British Columbia native got behind the camera...and on a boat to film a commercial with TNT legend Paul Bissonette.
With the boats on the water this Memorial Day weekend, enjoy this commercial that never aired for "YBuy.ca" which has since gone out of business:
We will never know why this commercial never aired.
It's worth pointing out that the summer this was filmed was the same summer that the Islanders hired general manager Lou Lamoriello, who is pretty strict with his players.
