New York Islanders star Mathew Barzal and veteran defenseman Zdeno Chara both exited Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Los Angeles Kings with injuries.

Head coach Barry Trotz didn't have much of an update on the duo's status after the game, but said Barzal has a lower-body injury while Chara is dealing with an upper-body ailment, according to The Athletic's Kevin Kurz.

Barzal got tangled up with Kings forward Phillip Danault along the boards in the Kings' zone midway through the second period with his ankle appearing to get caught underneath him. The 24-year-old seemed to initially have trouble putting weight on his left leg and had to be helped off the ice.

Barzal returned for a shift but he ultimately left the game and didn't come back for the third period.

Chara was also missing from the Islanders' bench in the final frame. He went to the locker room shortly after hitting Kings forward Blake Lizotte midway through the second period.

Heading into Saturday's matchup, Barzal led all Islanders skaters with 36 points in 44 games. Chara, meanwhile, recently set the NHL record for games played by defenseman.
