Adam Boqvist Claimed By Islanders
4 mins agoThe New York Islanders claimed defenseman Adam Boqvist off waivers on Friday. Boqvist was waived by the Florida Panthers on Thursday. He made only 18 appearances with the Panthers this season and hasn't played since Jan. 6. Injuries have hit the Islanders defense hard, and Boqvist will provide an extra option at the back for the team. He has shown good offensive ability, but Boqvist has now failed to establish himself on three teams. The 24-year-old has registered 25 goals and 91 points in 227 career appearances. Boqvist is set to replace Isaiah George in the Islanders lineup, as he was reassigned to the AHL on Friday.
