NY Islanders Sign Forward Andy Hilbert

The New York Islanders have announced that they have signed center Andy Hilbert to a one-year, two-way contract. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. In four games last season with the Minnesota Wild, he had no points. He also appeared in 33 games with Houston of the AHL, scoring nine goals and 16 assists for 25 points. This is an okay signing for the Islanders, as Hilbert plays with some grit and has some defensive skill. He will likely fight for a roster spot at training camp, and if he does make the team, it will probably be as the fourth line center.
