Islanders sign Tim Wallace for organizational depth


The New York Islanders announced the signing of 6’1”, 206-pound Forward, Tim Wallace for organizational depth today.  Wallace has agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way contract and will probably spend most of his time with Bridgeport.

The 26 year old Wallace was signed as an un drafted player by the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2007.   Wallace went 20 and 17 for 37 points in 62 games with the Pittsburgh Penguins AHL affiliate, good enough for fifth best on the team in '10-11.  Last season was the third consecutive season he saw NHL action, playing for the Penguins in 7 games.  In all of his NHL appearances, Wallace is 0 and 2 for 2 points.


Wallace has 75 and 62 for 137 points in 304 career regular season AHL games.  In addition, he has 4 and 13 for 17 points in 55 Playoff games with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.  Tim Wallace was a member of the U.S. Junior national and under 18 national teams in 2000 and 2001.
