The Islanders have signed Marek Zidlicky to a one-year deal worth $1.5M.

Zidlicky had seven goals and 27 assists (34 points) in 84 games between the Red Wings and Devils last season. The 38-year-old blueliner joined the Islanders in training camp on Friday and will likely bump Brian Strait from the mix for 2015-16.

Zidlicky (concussion) will not play in Game 7.

Zidlicky suffered a concussion in Game 6 and will miss his first game of the season tonight in Game 7. He leads the league in games played this season with 90, having played 84 regular season games and six playoff games. With Zidlicky out, Jakub Kindl will get back into the lineup.

The Red Wings have acquired Marek Zidlicky from the Devils for a conditional 2016 3rd round pick.

Zidlicky, 38, is a veteran right handed defenseman that the Red Wings have been searching for. He should slot in on the Red Wings second pair and will definitely see big minutes on the power-play. He has a great one-timer and should help the Red Wings PP that already ranks first in the NHL.
