Islanders sign defenseman Logan Stanley to a contract for this season

They added the 28-year-old left-handed shooter late in training camp after sending young Kashawn Aitcheson and Isaiah George to their American Hockey League affiliate in Hamilton. George was considered a possibility to win a full-time roster spot at 22 after playing four games last season and 33 in 2024-25.

Stanley skated in 76 games last regular season for Winnipeg and Buffalo, then eight more in the playoffs with the Sabres. He has played in more than 300 NHL games since making his debut with the Jets in 2021.
