Shane Prince
Player News
Prince signed a contract with HC Davos of Switzerland on Saturday, TSN reports.
The New York native compiled 38 points (12 goals, 26 assists) over 128 career contests in the NHL. It's quite unfortunate that Prince didn't pan out, especially since he held so much promise as the 2011 second-round (61st overall) selection, with his career originating in Ottawa. Perhaps he'll find a second wind playing overseas after injuries limited him to 14 games with the Islanders in 2017-18.
Prince only had one goal and one assist in 14 games for the Islanders this season.
Prince suffered several injuries that took him out of the lineup for extended periods of time, but even when healthy was far from an automatic start for the Islanders. He is a restricted free agent this summer and could find himself playing for his third organization next season.
Prince (lower body) will return Thursday against the Rangers.
Prince hasn't played since Jan. 18 so he could be a bit rusty upon his return. He'll skate in the bottom six with very little to offer fantasy owners. Prior to getting hurt, Prince only had two points in 12 games for the 2017-18 campaign, but that he worked so hard to come back for a team that won't be in the playoffs speaks volumes about his work ethic and dedication to the game of hockey.
Prince (lower body) is skating with the team, Newsdayreports.
Prince has been out of the lineup since Jan. 21 due to the injury. Coach Doug Weight stated Tuesday that Prince should be ready to return to the lineup "sooner than later". He could make his return to the lineup Friday versus Toronto or Saturday in New Jersey. When Prince does return he will likely play wing on the third-line.
