Josh Ho-Sang is getting at least one more chance with the Islanders.
The team announced on Tuesday the former first-rounder – loaned to the St. Louis Blues organization in February –has agreed to a one-year deal, avoiding an arbitration hearing set for Friday.
Ho-Sang, a fleet-skating playmaker who has seven goals and 17 assists in 53 games with the Islanders since being selected 28th overall in 2014 while struggling defensively, signed a two-way deal worth $700,000 in the NHL.
