Stanley signed a one-year, $1.5 million contract with the Islanders on Sunday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Stanley registered nine goals, 21 points, 74 shots on net, 69 blocked shots, 96 hits and 99 PIM in 59 games for Winnipeg during the 2025-26 regular season before being dealt to the Sabres ahead of their playoff run. As a member of the Islanders in the 2026-27 campaign, he will likely play a depth role while adding some physicality to the lineup.
