The New York Islanders agreed to terms with goaltender Robin Lehner on a one-year contract Tuesday, the team announced. The deal is worth $1.5 million, according to Stephen Whyno of The Associated Press.
Lehner moves to an Islanders squad that finished with the most goals allowed last season with a staggering 293 tallies. He also joins a goalie depth chart that includes only career backup Thomas Greiss and unproven AHL netminder Christopher Gibson.
A veteran of eight NHL seasons split between the Ottawa Senators and Buffalo Sabres, Lehner has a career regular-season record of 72-97-35 to go along with a career 2.82 GAA and .915 save percentage.
Lehner struggled last season for the Sabres, both with injury and with his consistency, while registering a 14-26-9 record with three shutouts. He was drafted by the Senators in the second round of the 2009 NHL Draft.
