Islanders Bolster Defense with Carson Soucy Acquisition

The New York Islanders acquired veteran defenseman Carson Soucy at the NHL trade deadline as part of a strategic push to bolster the roster for a potential playoff run. General manager Mathieu Darche targeted Soucy, alongside other veteran additions, to provide depth and experience to the team's lineup. The move is intended to support the team's younger core, including rookie standout Matthew Schaefer, as they navigate the final stretch of the season and compete for a postseason spot.
