Prince signed a contract with HC Davos of Switzerland on Saturday, TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The New York native compiled 38 points (12 goals, 26 assists) over 128 career contests in the NHL. It's quite unfortunate that Prince didn't pan out, especially since he held so much promise as the 2011 second-round (61st overall) selection, with his career originating in Ottawa. Perhaps he'll find a second wind playing overseas after injuries limited him to 14 games with the Islanders in 2017-18.

Prince only had one goal and one assist in 14 games for the Islanders this season.
EDGE Analysis
Prince suffered several injuries that took him out of the lineup for extended periods of time, but even when healthy was far from an automatic start for the Islanders. He is a restricted free agent this summer and could find himself playing for his third organization next season.

Prince (lower body) will return Thursday against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Prince hasn't played since Jan. 18 so he could be a bit rusty upon his return. He'll skate in the bottom six with very little to offer fantasy owners. Prior to getting hurt, Prince only had two points in 12 games for the 2017-18 campaign, but that he worked so hard to come back for a team that won't be in the playoffs speaks volumes about his work ethic and dedication to the game of hockey.

Prince (lower body) is skating with the team, Newsdayreports.
EDGE Analysis
Prince has been out of the lineup since Jan. 21 due to the injury. Coach Doug Weight stated Tuesday that Prince should be ready to return to the lineup "sooner than later". He could make his return to the lineup Friday versus Toronto or Saturday in New Jersey. When Prince does return he will likely play wing on the third-line.

Prince (undisclosed) has yet to be cleared to play and will remain out of the lineup against the Wild on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Considering there have been no reports of Prince returning to practice -- or even skating on his own -- fantasy owners can probably expect him to be out for a while. The team has also not provided a timeline for when the winger might be eligible to return, which certainly doesn't indicate good news on the injury front. Coach Doug Weight should provide an update once the team is ready to take the Rochester, New York native off injured reserve.

Prince (undisclosed) won't play Sunday against the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Prince has missed the Islanders' last nine games, and he's been on injured reserve since January 31. His next chance to return is Tuesday against the Blue Jackets, but fantasy owners likely aren't going to be too concerned. Prince has two points in 12 games.

Prince (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Since the Isles used a retroactive designation, Prince is technically eligible to return at any point, but it's probably safe to assume he won't be available against the Maple Leafs on Wednesday. The organization didn't announce a specific timeline for the winger, who has already missed four games due to his undisclosed ailment. In a corresponding move, Andrew Ladd (upper body) was activated off IR.

Prince (undisclosed) isn't in the projected lineup for Tuesday's game against the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Prince's continued absence shouldn't impact any fantasy lineups, as the 25-year-old winger has only notched one goal and two points in 12 games this campaign. The Islanders should release an update on the 2011 second-round pick's status once he's ready to return to game action.

Prince (undisclosed) will miss the Islanders' next three games at a minimum.
EDGE Analysis
Prince's absence will test the Islanders' depth up front, but it won't impact many fantasy lineups, as the 25-year-old American has only notched one goal and two points in 12 games this campaign. Prince's next chance to return won't come until Jan. 30 against the Panthers, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Islanders place him on injured reserve while he's on the shelf.

Prince (upper body) is in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Prince exited Tuesday's game against the Devils early due to an upper-body injury, but the ailment he sustained during that contest clearly wasn't overly serious. The 25-year-old winger, who's notched just one goal and two points in 11 games this season, will skate with Brock Nelson and Michael Dal Colle on the Islanders third line against Boston.
