Islanders sign Scott Mayfield to 2-year extension

The New York Islanders signed defenseman Scott Mayfield to a two-year, one-way contract extension Tuesday.

The deal is worth $575,000 in the first year and $675,000 in the second season, according to Brett Cyrgalis of the New York Post.

Mayfield spent most of 2015-16 with the AHL's Bridgeport Sound Tigers, collecting 12 points and racking up 80 penalty minutes in 54 games.

He registered one assist in six games with the Islanders this season.

The 23-year-old has appeared in 11 regular-season contests and five playoff games with New York over three seasons.

He was a restricted free agent before the Islanders extended him a qualifying offer last month.
