Tony DeAngelo is back in the NHL, signing with the New York Islanders for the rest of the 2024-25 season.
The contract, announced Friday, is for the league minimum salary of $775,000 and is prorated for the remaining games of the season.
The 29-year-old defenseman started the season with SKA Saint Petersburg of Russia's KHL, signing with the club in the offseason after not finding an NHL opportunity in free agency. He had 32 points and 33 penalty minutes in 34 games. SKA announced a mutual termination of his contract Jan. 14 for what the team said were family considerations in North America.
