NEW YORK — The New York Islanders on Wednesday signed forward Cole Eiserman to a three-year entry level contract, getting one of their most NHL-ready prospects in the fold for the near future.

Eiserman’s contract begins next season and runs through 2028-29. He is expected to report to Bridgeport of the American Hockey League for the rest of this season on a tryout agreement and would then be set to audition for a spot with the big club in training camp in September.
