Goaltender Jaroslav Halak has agreed to terms on a four-year, $18 million contract with the New York Islanders.
The Islanders acquired Halak from Washington in exchange for the team’s fourth-round pick in the 2014 NHL Draft on May 1.
Halak, 28, split his eighth NHL seasons between the St. Louis Blues, Buffalo Sabres and Washington Capitals, compiling a 29-13-7 record in 52 games. The Bratislava, Slovakia, native was dealt from St. Louis to Buffalo for a package that included Ryan Miller and Steve Ott on March 1, 2014 and was then traded to Washington on March 5, 2014 before playing a game with the Sabres.
