The New York Islanders announced today that forward Tanner Fritz has agreed to terms on a two-year contact.
Last season, Fritz played in eight games with the Islanders before his season was cut short due to injury. He played in 57 games with the Islanders American Hockey League affiliate, the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, scoring 37 points (12 goals and 25 assists).

The Grande Prairie, Alberta native also has 129 points (43 goals and 86 assists) in 174 games with the Sound Tigers. He was selected to represent the Sound Tigers at the 2018 AHL All-Star Classic but was unable to play due to his first NHL recall.
