Prior to the arbitration deadline, the New York Islanders locked down goaltender Jean-Francois Berube to a one-year contract, the team announced Tuesday.
It's a one-way deal worth $675,000, according to Arthur Staple of Newsday.
Berube, 24, got his first taste of the NHL last season, serving as the Islanders' backup netminder. He posted a 3-2-1 record with a 2.71 goals-against average and a 9.14 save percentage.
