Pecca led the Islanders to three consecutive postseason appearances as New York snapped a seven year drought of playoff action.

The Islanders signed Satan just three days after he was cut by the Buffalo Sabres. The 30-year-old forward has 194 goals in the NHL and has led the Sabres in scoring in six of his eight years in Buffalo.
