Report: Islanders, Beauvillier agree to 3-year deal

Anthony Beauvillier will soon have a new three-year contract with the New York Islanders, reports The Athletic's Arthur Staple.

The restricted free-agent forward and the club have agreed to the deal but it has yet to be filed, Staple adds.

Beauvillier ranked fourth on the squad with 15 goals this season, tying Brock Nelson with a team-high 0.32 goals per game (not including Anders Lee's mark of 0.44 because he was limited to 27 contests). Beauvillier also collected 13 assists while averaging 16:24 of ice time over 47 games in 2021.

The 24-year-old authored favorable expected goals for (53.03) and scoring chances for (50.54) percentages at five-on-five this season, according to Natural Stat Trick.

Beauvillier has played five seasons with the Islanders, who drafted him 28th overall in 2015.

Goaltender Ilya Sorokin is the lone remaining RFA on New York's NHL roster.
