Mike Reilly, say hello to your 6th NHL team. The defenceman is on the move after being placed on waivers yesterday, and getting grabbed today.
Reilly is now a member of the New York Islanders.
"The New York Islanders have claimed defenseman Mike Reilly off waivers from the Florida Panthers."
"Reilly, 30, appeared in two games with the Panthers this season after signing a one-year contract on July 1, 2023."
Reilly was most likely snagged by GM Lou Lamoriello due to an injury to one of the team's key defenceman last night. Adam Pelech was placed on long-term injured reserve today. Here's the play that lead to that decision.
Reilly has played a total of 341 NHL games over his career, scoring 12 goals and 98 points.
