The New York Islanders have come to terms on a two-year contract with restricted free-agent forward Ryan Strome, the team announced on Tuesday.

The deal will pay Strome $5 million, according to Newsday's Arthur Staple.

After hitting a career-high 17 goals and 50 points during the 2014-15 season, Strome saw his offensive numbers take a steep dip last season. He managed just eight goals and 28 points in 71 games.

His poor play even saw him sent down to the American Hockey League, where he put up two goals and two assists in eight games with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers.

The 23-year-old was picked fifth overall in the 2011 draft.
