Jul 16, 2007, 18:10 GMT
Uniondale, NY - The New York Islanders signed defenseman Chris Campoli to a three-year contract Monday.
In 131 career NHL games -- all with the Islanders -- Campoli has scored 10 goals with 38 assists for 48 points.
'Signing Chris Campoli to a long-term contract was a priority of ours this off-season,' said Islanders general manager Garth Snow. 'He's one of the most skilled young defensemen in the NHL and we're thrilled that he'll continue his development in an Islanders uniform.'
In his rookie season of 2005-06, Campoli appeared in 80 games and scored nine goals with 25 assists, becoming just the fifth Islanders' rookie defensemen in franchise history to score 30-plus points. Last season, Campoli scored a goal with 13 assists in 51 games.
'I'm very grateful for the opportunity the Islanders have given me, showing a commitment with this long-term contract,' Campoli said. 'This is the only place where I want to play and now I'll be able to continue to establish myself as an NHL player as an Islander.'
