The New York Islanders acquired defenseman Carson Soucy from the New York Rangers for a 2026 third-round pick, it was announced on Monday night.
It's only the fourth time the two in-state rivals have completed a trade, and the second time in the past 50 years.
Soucy was scratched from Monday's 4-3 overtime win against the Boston Bruins at Madison Square Garden for roster management reasons.
Rangers general manager Chris Drury spent a third-round pick when he acquired Soucy from the Vancouver Canucks in 2025.
Soucy, a 6-foot-4 left shot, is in the final year of a contract paying him $3.25 million annually.
