Scott Reedy Signs PTO, Added to Bridgeport Islanders Roster

Scott Reedy signed a professional tryout contract and was added to the Bridgeport Islanders' roster, the AHL transactions ledger shows, with the PTO recorded Feb. 11 and his roster addition logged Feb. 12, 2026. For Bridgeport, the move brings a veteran right wing with NHL experience and a résumé that spans college stardom, an NHL debut and several AHL stops.

Reedy is a 6-foot-2, 205-pound forward who first turned pro after signing an entry-level deal with the San Jose Sharks on April 2, 2021. Sharks general manager Doug Wilson praised his college production at Minnesota, saying, "Scott just capped off a tremendous career at Minnesota as one of the top goal scorers each of the last two years, and as one of the nation’s youngest seniors, he has steadily improved with each season. His big frame allowed him to play a very important, versatile role and some tough minutes on one of the top teams in college hockey this past season." That pedigree led to an NHL debut on Nov. 22, 2021 vs. Carolina and his first NHL goal on Feb. 27, 2022 vs. Seattle.

Reedy's pro path has included a trade to Dallas on March 3, 2023 in exchange for Jacob Peterson, and AHL assignments with San Jose, Texas and, most recently in 2024-25, Milwaukee. In 2022-23 he recorded 13 points (5-8-13) in 38 games with the San Jose Barracuda before the trade, then posted 10 points (6-4-10) in 18 regular-season games with the Texas Stars and added two points (1-1-2) in eight Calder Cup Playoff games. InsideAHLHockey lists Reedy’s 2024-25 line with Milwaukee as 25 GP, 4 G, 5 A, +1 and 8 PIM.

Career totals vary in prior team releases, reflecting different cutoffs: a Dallas Stars signing notice cited 58 points (34-24-58) in 111 AHL games with San Jose and Texas, while an earlier NHL transaction release listed 48 points (28-20-48) in 93 AHL games. That statistical spread underscores the journeyman arc common in today's AHL: players accrue stops and numbers across seasons, and teams use PTOs to audition experienced pros when injuries, recall churn or playoff pushes demand quick reinforcements.

On the business side, Bridgeport’s PTO signing fits a low-risk model for AHL clubs balancing roster economics and affiliate needs. For general managers, a PTO lets Bridgeport evaluate Reedy in its systems without a long-term commitment while giving Reedy a platform to re-establish value to NHL clubs or extend his AHL tenure. Culturally, Reedy’s move highlights the permeability between the NCAA, AHL and NHL and the continued value of size, two-way play and playoff experience for clubs seeking immediate impact.

For Islanders fans, Reedy adds a player accustomed to movement and production in pro hockey. His next steps will be immediate: translate past scoring bursts into Bridgeport minutes, and show enough at-pace play to earn a longer stay or an NHL look. For roster watchers, his PTO is a reminder that the AHL remains the proving ground where careers are recalibrated and opportunities reappear.
