Uniondale, NY - The New York Islanders signed defenseman Aaron Johnson to a one-year contract Thursday. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The 24-year-old Johnson had three goals and 10 assists in 61 games last season for the Columbus Blue Jackets.
'Aaron is an important addition for the Islanders,' said Ken Morrow, the team's director of pro scouting. 'He is a talented, dedicated player and, at 24-years-old, he's just coming into his own as a defenseman. His acquisition gives us some depth on the blue line at the NHL level.'
In 116 career NHL games, Johnson has registered seven goals and 19 assists.
