A former Canadiens player who was claimed by the Islanders

Former Montreal Canadiens defenseman Mike Reilly was placed on waivers by the Florida Panthers and claimed by the New York Islanders on Saturday.

His adventure with Sunrise only lasted a few months. After being acquired by the Boston Bruins, the 30-year-old guard was an unrestricted free agent last summer, signing a one-season contract worth $1 million with the Florida club.

During his short time with the Cats, Reilly did not record a point in two games. He previously played three seasons for Boston, between the 2020-2021 and 2022-2023 seasons.

In his career, the 98th pick in the 2011 draft collected 98 points in 341 games with the Panthers, Bruins, Ottawa Senators, Montreal Canadiens and Minnesota Wild.
