The New York Islanders defenseman had been dealing with a groin injury.

The New York Islanders got off to a busy start on the first day of NHL free agency by reaching deals with forward Brad Boyes and defenseman Matt Carkner. Carkner agreed to a three-year contract after three-plus seasons in Ottawa.

Carkner is a physical, stay-at-home defenseman. After having surgery to repair a right knee injury, he finished with a goal and two assists in 29 games with Ottawa last season.
