The Bridgeport Islanders, American Hockey League affiliate of the New York Islanders, announced Thursday that defenseman Connor McCarthy has agreed to terms on a two-year deal beginning in 2021-22.

McCarthy, 25, completed a four-year career at Clarkson University this past season, recording eight points (three goals, five assists) in 22 games. He served as an alternate captain with the Golden Knights and was named to the ECAC’s First All-Star Team.
