Bonjour Nouvel Ami: Islanders claim goalie Jean-Francois Berube off waivers from Kings

"Goalies, goalies everywhere." - Dr. Seuss

The Islanders roster puzzle got both a little more complete and a little more muddied with the snapping up of goalie Jean-Francois Berube via waivers from the Los Angeles Kings.

In addition to having a name so French it comes with a beret, Berube led the Manchester Monarachs to the 2014-15 Calder Cup (with a 37-9-4 record) and came in at No. 15 on Jewels from the Crown's Top 25 Under 25 list. He's had an up-and-down run with the Kings organization, with injuries and inconsistencies culminating in losing the job as Jonathan Quick's understudy to free agent Jhonas Enroth.
