The Islanders announced they re-signed defenseman Thomas Hickey to a four-year deal on Sunday.

Hickey, 29, had five goals and a personal-best 25 assists last season.

A former No. 4 pick, Hickey has spent his entire NHL career with the Islanders, totaling 22 goals and 89 assists in 409 games.

Hickey is one of three moves the Islanders announced Sunday night after they lost out on the John Tavares sweepstakes. New York also signed Leo Komarov to a four-year deal and Valtteri Filppula to a one-year deal.
