Islanders agree to terms with UFAs Martin, Greene

The New York Islanders have agreed to deals with forward Matt Martin and defenseman Andy Greene, general manager Lou Lamoriello said Thursday, according to Mollie Walker of the New York Post.

Terms of the agreements weren't disclosed. Both players were with the club last season, but they were on the final year of their contracts.

Martin suited up for 55 games in 2019-20, registering eight points while averaging just over 10 minutes per contest. The rugged winger chipped in five playoff goals during the Isles' run to the Eastern Conference Final.

Greene landed in Long Island at the trade deadline after 14 seasons with the New Jersey Devils. The 38-year-old notched seven points with New York over the regular season and playoffs.

The Islanders held a projected $3.9 million in cap space before factoring in the new deals for Martin and Greene. The club still needs to sign star restricted free agent Mathew Barzal.
