Islanders Sign Jackman to One-Year Extension

The New York Islanders have announced that they have signed right wing Tim Jackman to a one-year contract extension worth $550,000. In 59 games so far this season, Jackman has four goals and four assists for eight points and 133 penalty minutes. He has also played with the Los Angeles Kings and Phoenix Coyotes in his four years in the NHL. This is a decent signing for the Islanders. Jackman has been a very gritty and physical forward for the Islanders this season on their checking lines. He obviously impressed management enough this year with his toughness to earn another contract with the team, and at $550,000, is a very affordable player for the Islanders.
