As the New York Islanders continue to try and pick up the pieces left in the wake of John Tavares' move to Toronto, the club signed forward and two-time Stanley Cup champion Tom Kuhnhackl to a one-year deal Monday, the team announced.
Kuhnhackl is coming off a campaign in which he registered two goals and six assists in 69 regular-season games while averaging just over 10 minutes in ice time per night.
The Germany native was drafted by the Penguins in the fourth round of the 2010 NHL Draft, and went on to win two Cups with Pittsburgh in 2016 and 2017, but is probably most famous for this viral clip from the 2018 postseason:
