"Tim earned this extension by showing his willingness to do whatever is necessary to help the Islanders succeed," said Islanders General Manager Garth Snow. "We know Tim is excited about being an Islander next season and we’re just as excited to have him back."
Jackman (6-4, 210 lbs.) has played in 125 career NHL games and has scored six goals with seven assists for 13 points and 237 penalty minutes.
