The 20-year-old played in 41 games with the Islanders this season scoring 14 goals and 36 points with a plus-nine rating and 98 penalty minutes before being traded to Rouyn-Noranda on the last day of the trading period on Jan. 7.

In 23 games with the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies, Nevins scored five goals and 12 points. He added five goals and eight points in nine playoff games.

The Islanders received Julien Avon, Blainville-Boisbriand's first-round pick in 2014 and third- and fifth-round picks in 2014 from Rouyn-Noranda in the trade.

Nevins began his QMJHL journey last season with the P.E.I. Rocket signed him as a free agent from the OHL's London Knights.

The Stittsville, Ont. native signed a three-year deal with the Montreal Canadiens back on Dec. 13, 2013 while playing in Charlottetown.

Hamilton posts a 32-34-1-6 record this season and have three games remaining in the regular season. They host the Rochester Americans on Saturday April 12 before traveling to Lake Erie on Tuesday and then ending the season at home versus the Syracuse Crunch Saturday April 19.
