The New York Islanders acquired veteran defenseman Robert Bortuzzo from the St. Louis Blues on Friday in exchange for a 2024 seventh-round draft pick.
Bortuzzo, 34, had been with St. Louis since March 2015. He won a Stanley Cup with the Blues in 2019.
Bortuzzo has appeared in just four games this season and none since Nov. 18. In 537 career games with the Pittsburgh Penguins (2011-15) and Blues, he has amassed 74 points (20 goals, 54 assists), 491 penalty minutes and 1,061 hits.
In a separate move, the Islanders placed defenseman Ryan Pulock on injured reserve with a lower-body injury.
