Eberle Agrees to Terms on a Five-Year Contract

The New York Islanders announced today that forward Jordan Eberle has agreed to terms on a five-year contract.
In the two seasons Eberle, 29, has played with the Islanders, he has scored 96 points (44 goals, 52 assists) in 159 games. The Regina, Saskatchewan native scored four goals, including the game-winner in Game 2 of the Islanders Eastern Conference quarterfinal series against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Eberle also contributed five assists, for nine points in eight games during the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Eberle has 478 career points (209 goals and 269 assists) in 666 career NHL games with the Islanders and Edmonton Oilers. He also played the 2012-13 season in the American Hockey League with the Oklahoma City Barons, averaging well over a point-per-game with 51 (25 goals and 26 assists) in 34 games.

The Oilers selected Eberle in the first round (22nd overall) of the 2008 National Hockey League Draft. Eberle was selected to play in the NHL All-Star Game in 2010-11 and 2011-12.
On the international stage, Eberle has represented Canada at six World Championships and won gold in 2015. He also skated with Team Canada at two World Junior Championships, winning gold in 2009 along-side Islanders defenseman Thomas Hickey. Eberle scored one of the biggest goals in the tournament's history, tying the semi-final game against Russia with five seconds remaining. Eberle would eventually score in the shootout to send Canada to the gold medal game where they defeated Team Sweden. He also played for Team Canada in 2010, earning a silver medal, where he took home tournament MVP honors.
