The Edmonton Oilers have officially signed forward Quinn Hutson to a two-year entry-level contract. At just 23 years old, Hutson comes off an impressive collegiate career at Boston University, where he accumulated 114 points in 116 games, highlighted by a standout season where he led the Terriers in scoring with 50 points, including 23 goals and 27 assists. His performance earned him a selection to the Hockey East second team, showcasing his potential as an impact player at the NHL level.

Hutson's younger brother, Lane Hutson, is already making waves as a rookie defenseman with the Montreal Canadiens, adding an interesting family dynamic as both brothers look to make their mark in the league. This signing could provide the Oilers with added depth and skill as they aim to build a competitive roster.

In a thrilling matchup, the New York Islanders triumphed over the Tampa Bay Lightning 3-2, securing their seventh consecutive win. The decisive moment came just 33 seconds into overtime when Tony DeAngelo scored on a breakaway, marking a standout performance for the Islanders. Ilya Sorokin was instrumental in the victory, making 28 saves throughout the game. Kyle Palmieri and Adam Boqvist also contributed to the scoreline for New York, the latter making an impressive debut with the team after being claimed off waivers.

The game saw a resilient effort from the Lightning, who were led by Jake Guentzel, who opened the scoring in the second period. Nikita Kucherov tied the game late in regulation, but it wasn't enough to prevent their fourth game in six where they failed to score more than two goals. Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 33 shots in goal for Tampa Bay, but ultimately it wasn't sufficient to halt the Islanders' momentum.
