UNIONDALE, N.Y., July 5 (UPI) -- Unrestricted free agent forward Bill Guerin Thursday signed a two-year contract with the New York Islanders.
The 36-year-old Guerin had 36 goals and 20 assists for 56 points in 77 regular season games last season, when he split time between St. Louis and San Jose.
He struggled in the post-season with the Sharks, recording just two assists in nine games.
"My family and I are so happy to be coming to Long Island," said the native of Wilbraham, Mass., and four-time NHL All-Star. "(Islanders General Manager) Garth Snow contacted me Sunday and was so positive from the outset, explaining to me why I would be ideal for his team. Ownership's commitment to winning at almost every cost and Garth making it clear to how determined he is to build a winner is why I'm an Islander today."
Guerin has 364 goals, 719 points and 1,439 penalty minutes in 1,026 games over 15 seasons in the NHL.
