Islanders sign Liam Foudy to one-year contract extension

The New York Islanders have agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way contract extension with forward Liam Foudy, the club announced Tuesday afternoon.

Foudy, 26, spent the majority of the 2025-26 season with the AHL’s Bridgeport Islanders, collecting 26 goals and 47 points in 60 games during the regular season before being held pointless in two playoff games.

The 6’2″ forward also skated in a single game with the NHL’s Islanders against the Carolina Hurricanes on Apr. 14, recording one shot on goal in 11:17 of ice time. He had been slated to become a restricted free agent on July 1.

Foudy originally joined the Islanders organization as an unrestricted free agent in 2024 and is now on his third consecutive one-year contract with the club. Prior to that, the Scarborough, Ont. product spent most of his early career with the Columbus Blue Jackets, who drafted him in the first round (No. 18 overall) back in 2018.

After wrapping up his four-year junior career with the OHL’s London Knights in 2020, Foudy debuted for the Blue Jackets that same spring and appeared in 10 playoff games with the club as they made it to the Eastern Conference semifinals. He eventually spent parts of five seasons with Columbus, topping out with seven goals and 14 points in 62 games in the 2022-23 season.

Foudy split the 2023-24 campaign between the Blue Jackets and Nashville Predators, the latter of whom claimed him off waivers that October. He departed the Predators organization after less than one full season to sign with the Islanders.

In 105 career NHL games split between the Blue Jackets, Predators, and Islanders, Foudy has collected seven goals, 22 points, and 16 penalty minutes. He recorded a goal and an assist in his 10 playoff games with Columbus in 2020, which remain his only career NHL postseason experience.
