UNIONDALE, NY - Sources close to the team have confirmed a deal between the New York Islanders and the New York Rangers.

Concerned with Tim Connolly's concussion problems and slow recovery, the New York Islanders shipped the promising but injured forward to their rivals, the New York Rangers for young sniper Alexander Perezhogin. Going with Connolly is 7th defenceman Brent Sopel, who only saw powerplay time with the Islanders since being acquired from the Montreal Canadiens.
