Sbisa attending Islanders camp on PTO

Luca Sbisa is attending New York Islanders training camp on a professional tryout, he told The Athletic's Arthur Staple.

Sbisa spent last season patrolling the Vegas Golden Knights blue line and was on pace for a career year before it was cut short by injury. In total, he finished the campaign with 14 points, a plus-8 rating, 50 hits, and 54 blocks in 30 games while averaging 19:31 per night.

Sbisa was routinely the odd man out during the postseason, suiting up in just 12 of 20 playoff games during Vegas' magical run to the Stanley Cup Final.

The 28-year-old former first-round pick could help solidify an Islanders back end that allowed a league-worst 293 goal last season.
