The youth movement is on in Brooklyn.

Both Mathew Barzal and Anthony Beauvillier are expected to be named to the New York Islanders' 23-man roster, per TSN's Bob McKenzie.

Both Barzal and Beauvillier were selected in the first round of the 2015 NHL Draft, and bring impressive junior resumes to the professional level.

The Islanders entered training camp with holes left in the lineup following the departures of Kyle Okposo and Frans Nielsen in free agency, as well as lingering injury issues affecting Mikhail Grabovski.

P.A. Parenteau was placed on waivers Monday, signaling the youngsters had indeed secured spots on the roster.

Barzal and Beauvillier join Ryan Strome and Ryan Pulock as young players expected to play key roles in the team's success, beginning as early as Thursday against the rival Rangers.
