(NLL) - The Minnesota Swarm agreed to terms with team captain Andrew Suitor on a new five-year contract on Wednesday, marking the longest deal in team history. The Swarm also locked up assistant captains F Callum Crawford to a two-year contract and D Jeff Gilbert to a one-year deal. "Our captaincy program is second to none," Swarm associate general manager and head coach Joe Sullivan said. "With Andrew Suitor, Callum Crawford, and Jeff Gilbert as our captains, Id put them up against anybody in the league." As the NLLs youngest captain for the past two years, Suitor, 24, has helped the Swarm reach the Division Finals in back-to-back seasons for the first time in franchise history. Known as one of the leagues toughest players, Suitor has become a fan favorite at The Hive with his gritty defensive skills and knack for making big plays on both sides of the ball. In 2012, Suitor was named the NLLs Transition Player of the Year and was selected to the All-Pro First Team in only his second season the league. Suitors new long-term contract ensures that the Swarms captain will be in Minnesota for many more years to come. "Words cant describe how excited I am," Suitor said. "This is the organization that gave me a chance as a rookie, then to be a young captain, and now the chance to grow up in front of these fans. I plan on bringing multiple championships here and we have the team to do it. Were going to continue to get better and I dont want to play anywhere but Minnesota and I think a five-year contract says a lot about that." "We are elated to have Andrew sign the longest contract in franchise history," Swarm Owner and Governor John Arlotta said. "To put it simply but emphatically, he is our Captain. He is our leader. He is the heart and soul of the Minnesota Swarm." Arlotta continued, "There arent many players who can inspire and motivate like he does, both on and off the field. Its great to have him back, and we are honored by the long-term commitment he has made to the Swarm family." Crawford is fresh off another incredible season at the helm of the Swarm offense. Named a 2013 First-Team All-Pro, the 29-year-old forward led Minnesota in scoring with 95 points (32g, 63a), which was good for fourth in the NLL. In 2013, Crawford became the Swarms all-time leader in points (344) and assists (234), and needs 26 goals in 2014 to become the franchises all-time leader in goals. Gilbert finished his second season as an assistant captain with the Swarm in 2013, and posted a career-high 15 points (3g, 12a) along with 64 loose balls. In 2012, the 30-year-old Barrie, Ontario native finished second in the NLL with 26 forced turnovers and earned NLL All-Pro Second Team honors. Dylan Larkin Jersey .

Gordie Howe Jersey . LOUIS -- To stay a step ahead of goaltenders, T.LOS ANGELES, Calif. - The New York Islanders stumbled into Southern California with a three-game skid and a sputtering offence. After back-to-back victories over two NHL powers, its clear the Isles got much more than a tan from their time in the sun.Kyle Okposo and Frans Nielsen scored in the shootout, and the Islanders emerged with a 2-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday night.Chad Johnson stopped 28 shots and Brock Nelson scored in the first period for the Islanders, who snapped their slump with an overtime win over NHL-leading Anaheim one night earlier. New York then allowed fewer than two goals for the first time all season while shutting down the defending Stanley Cup champions.Thats not a bad bit of work in the Southland.Its tough playing back-to-backs, said Johnson, who turned aside Anze Kopitar and Jeff Carter in the shootout. So for us as a group, it was an awesome effort for us to be able to come in here and be able to get four points here against two really good teams. Its a good confidence booster for us.Okposo and Nielsen put nasty shots past Jonathan Quick, who made 25 saves. The Islanders scoring struggles havent evaporated, but their penalty-killing and goaltending was good enough to silence two road crowds in two days.These are two of the hardest buildings to play in on the road, for sure, Islanders defenceman Travis Hamonic said. And obviously, these are two world-class teams. So it was a gutty effort from our guys in both games.New York had lost four straight at Staples Center, but the Islanders young core appears to be learning from its past mistakes.When you lose three games in a row, then you look at our track record in the past, and it hasnt been good, Okposo said. But in this room, we never panicked. We knew what we had, and we know the way we can play.Dwight King scored an early goal for the Kings in their return from a 1-3-1 road trip. Los Angeles had won six straight at home after the longest perfect homestand in franchise history last month.The Kings saw several possitives in their fifth defeat in six games, but realized the champions frequently sputtering offence must improve.ddddddddddddMaybe we took it for granted that they played last night and we didnt come out hard enough, defenceman Drew Doughty said. We were fully prepared. We should have come out better, and we didnt.Neither team generated much offence after the opening minutes in an occasionally tedious game.King put Los Angeles ahead 3:49 in when he deflected Mike Richards shot from the corner at an awkward angle, the puck trickling past Johnson.But Los Angeles couldnt score again in its return from a road trip featuring only nine goals in five games. The Kings lost their first four on the trip before beating Dallas on Tuesday.There were some good spots in the game, King said. We had a lot of good looks. Guys were moving and creating things, so we can take some positives from it.Nelson, who leads the Islanders with seven goals, tied it on a power play late in the first, putting it into a small hole underneath Quicks glove arm at the post.The final two periods featured few genuine scoring opportunities, although Quick denied Nelson in the slot on a great chance in the third. Quick then stopped a point-blank attempt by Lubomir Visnovksy in overtime.Conn Smythe Trophy winner Justin Williams missed his first game for the Kings since the start of the 2011-12 season, sitting out with blurred vision in his right eye after the Stars Brendan Dillon clipped him in the face.Williams had played in 255 consecutive regular-season games for the Kings, winning two of his three Stanley Cup titles along the way. He has scored just one goal in 13 games this season.NOTES: The Islanders scratched defenceman Brian Strait and forward Cory Conacher.
