NHL’s Mat Barzal Cracks Kylie Jenner Joke After Taking High Sticks To Lips

Savage burn from NHL superstar Mat Barzal on Thursday night … ’cause after he took a hockey stick to the face TWICE — he said his lips looked like Kylie Jenner‘s now!!!

The New York Islanders center was popped in the mouth a few times by a high stick in his game against the Winnipeg Jets … and when he was interviewed about his swollen face at intermission, things took a hilarious turn.

“I feel like Kylie Jenner right now,” 22-year-old Barzal said with a laugh … “But, two high sticks there, it’s unfortunate. That’s hockey.”

Of course, Kylie’s fake lips are perhaps more famous than the entire league Barzal plays in … but still — BUUUURNNN!!!!

In case you care, Mat fought through the pain to dominate the Jets … scoring two goals in the Islanders’ 3-1 win.

As for his face … we’re pretty sure he’s going to be just fine — but he might not look so hot for a few days.
