Islanders & Accountability This season, forward Cal Clutterbuck skated in his 1,000th NHL game when the New York Islanders [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/new-york-islanders/latest-news/new-york-islanders-new-york-rangers-matt-rempe-suspension-devils-siegenthaler] battled the Philadelphia Flyers on Nov. 25. Last season, it was longest-tenured Islander Josh Bailey, who celebrated that milestone in October of 2022. A familar face, and former teammate of those two reached the 1,000-game milestone on Tuesday night when the Seattle Kraken hosted the Vegas Golden Knights: Jordan Eberle [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/new-york-islanders/latest-news/new-york-islanders-anthony-beauvillier-jordan-eberle-kyle-okposo].

The contract has an average annual value of $4.75 million.
