Kuefler inked a two-year, two-way contract with the Islanders on Thursday.
Kuefler has yet to make his NHL debut after spending the past three seasons playing in the minors, primarily with AHL Bridgeport. This year, the 2022 sixth-round pick notched 10 goals and 15 assists in 67 regular-season contests for the minor-league club. While the winger could make his NHL debut at some point during the 2026-27 campaign, he is likely to spend the bulk of the campaign in the minors with Bridgeport.
