Islanders Re-Sign Liam Foudy To One-Year, Two-Way Deal

The short-term extension secures roster depth and gives the high-speed winger a clear chance to compete for an NHL bottom-six role in next season’s training camp.

Overview

  • The Islanders announced the one-year, two-way extension on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, and did not disclose the financial terms of the deal.
  • Signing the contract removes Foudy from the restricted free-agent list and leaves him free to become an unrestricted free agent after the 2026–27 season.
  • Foudy produced a career-best pro season in 2025–26 with the AHL’s Bridgeport Islanders, scoring 26 goals and 47 points in 60 games while appearing in one NHL game on April 14.
  • A 2018 first-round pick, Foudy has skated in 105 NHL games with seven goals and 22 points and joined the Islanders as a free agent in 2024; this is his third straight one-year deal with the club.
  • Islanders staff and local reports highlight Foudy’s elite speed and view him as a late-blooming candidate who could earn a bottom-six or penalty-kill role if his AHL scoring translates to the NHL, making his camp performance the key indicator to watch.
