Barzal jokes he feels 'like Kylie Jenner right now' with enlarged lip

Mathew Barzal has apparently been keeping up with the Kardashians - up to a point, at least.

The New York Islanders phenom compared himself to a certain reality TV star when MSG's Shannon Hogan asked him about his abnormally large lip caused by a couple of high sticks in Thursday night's game against the Winnipeg Jets.

Jenner is known for having used lip injections in the past before reportedly getting rid of them last year.

Barzal must have been licking his lips prior to facing the Jets' defense, as he scored twice in the second period of Thursday's contest.
