Anthony Beauvillier thought it was funny that even in Denmark, Jordan Eberle couldn't get away from playing with him and Mathew Barzal.
"Ebs went all the way to Europe just to play with us two goofs again," Beauvillier said. "We were kidding around, but he's probably a little sick of us now."
There was good reason for the Islanders line mates to get a shot together playing for Team Canada at last month's IIHF World Championships, where they were also joined by Josh Bailey and Ryan Pulock. Barzal is the clubhouse favorite to win the Calder Trophy, Beauvillier scored 17 of his 21 goals after joining the line and Eberle had his best statistical year in three seasons.
