Islanders sign Andrew MacDonald for 4 years
Thursday, Feb. 25th, 2010
The New York Islanders have announced that Andrew MacDonald has agreed to terms on a four-year contract extension.
MacDonald was recalled from the Bridgeport Sound Tigers during the month of November and has not returned after scoring a goal and three assists for four points in 38 games. He has played over 20 minutes in 16 of the team's 19 contests during the New Year.
Technically considered a rookie this season, MacDonald played in his NHL debut last season and was a +2 in three games. Last season, MacDonald had a career year in his rookie campaign with the Sound Tigers, scoring nine goals and 24 assists for 33 points in 69 games. He was also chosen to represent the Sound Tigers at the 2009 AHL All-Star Classic, skating for the Canadian All-Star team.
The year prior, MacDonald split time between the Sound Tigers and their ECHL affiliate, the Utah Grizzlies. In 37 games with Utah, MacDonald totaled 12 points before he was recalled by the Sound Tigers. With the Sound Tigers that same season, the Islanders sixth round draft choice in 2006, tallied two goals and three assists for five points.
