Story summary

Logan Stanley, a 6-foot-7 defenseman recently signed by the New York Islanders, had an unexpectedly smooth transition to his new home on Long Island's North Shore after arriving just over a week ago. Despite missing all of training camp and the preseason, he took time off following a 6-0 victory over the Devils to explore his surroundings and even stopped at a local coffee shop where he spent about nine dollars. Stanley previously played for teams in Winnipeg and Buffalo, but has primarily lived in Canada throughout his career. He is currently staying alone in a hotel while awaiting the arrival of his pregnant wife and 3-year-old daughter. Stanley noted feeling more at ease with his new teammates compared to when he was traded to Buffalo last season, where he never truly settled in despite the welcoming environment from his fellow players.
