Islanders Recall Liam Foudy

October 22, 2024 at 8:46 am CDT | by Josh Erickson Leave a Comment

The Islanders announced that forward Julien Gauthier has been assigned to AHL Bridgeport after clearing waivers yesterday. Forward Liam Foudy was recalled to take Gauthier’s place on the active roster and to enter the lineup in place of Anthony Duclair, who will miss multiple weeks after sustaining an apparent left leg injury against the Canadiens over the weekend.

Gauthier clears waivers and heads to the minors after making the Islanders’ opening night roster for the second year in a row. But while it took until February for him to get demoted to Bridgeport last season, his stint on the NHL roster lasted just a couple of weeks this time around. Gauthier sat in the press box for the first four games of the campaign and made his season debut against Montreal, posting zeroes across the board in 7:42 of ice time.

He never reached the potential most expected from him after going No. 21 overall in the 2016 draft. The 27-year-old has never scored more than 10 goals in a season and only hit double-digit points once, notching 14 in a career-high 57 appearances with the Rangers and Senators in 2022-23. Even that career-best production wasn’t enough for the Sens to keep him after acquiring him from the Blueshirts mid-season, opting not to issue him a qualifying offer at the end of the year. He landed with the Islanders on a two-year, $1.575MM contract.

His return to the minors gives Foudy, another former mid-first-round pick struggling to get off the ground, a chance at NHL minutes on Long Island. Once regarded as one of the better prospects in the Blue Jackets system, he’s looking to re-establish himself as a legitimate NHL option after being waived and claimed by the Predators last season and subsequently being non-tendered.

Foudy has split his professional career fairly evenly between the NHL and AHL by looking at total games played, but he was only ever a true fixture in the lineup for one team – the 2022-23 edition of the Blue Jackets. The results weren’t pretty. He tied for 13th on the team in scoring with 14 points (7 G, 7 A) in 62 games, posting a -26 rating and averaging 12:08 per night. The 6’2″, 188-lb winger was responsible with the puck, though, logging 23 takeaways compared to just seven giveaways.

But after making just one appearance for Columbus the following year, Foudy landed on the waiver wire. He was given a fresh start in Nashville, where he managed three assists and a -2 rating in 12 games before landing on waivers again in December. He cleared and was assigned to AHL Milwaukee, where he played out the rest of the campaign. Foudy ended the year with 16 points (10 G, 6 A) and a +7 rating in 28 games in the minors.

Foudy was a late cut from New York’s training camp roster this time around and looked to be high on the list of potential in-season call-ups after once again clearing waivers. After starting the year with four assists in five games for AHL Bridgeport, he’ll look to prove he can carve out a niche for himself at the game’s highest level. He’s one of 12 healthy forwards available with Duclair on the shelf and, as such, should make his Islanders debut tonight against the Red Wings.
