Cliche was traded to the Islanders for Taylor Beck on Monday, Arthur Staple of Newsday reports, adding that Cliche will be assigned to AHL Bridgeport.

Cliche was reassigned to San Antonio of the AHL on Wednesday, The Denver Post reports.

Colorado has signed Marc-Andre Cliche to a two-year contract extension. According to capgeek.com, the deal is worth $700,000 per season. "Marc-Andre has been a solid addition to our hockey club," executive vice president of hockey operations Joe Sakic said in a team release. "He has done a tremendous job on the penalty kill, has a great work ethic and we're excited to have him under contract for the next two years." In 53 games this season, Cliche has recorded six points.

Marc-Andre Cliche netted his first NHL goal in Saturday's win over Buffalo. He has picked up six points in 48 games with Colorado this season. Going into this season, Cliche had played in just one NHL game and it came in 2009-10 with Los Angeles. He doesn't have nay fantasy value, but it was a special moment for him.

Marc-Andre Cliche picked up the first NHL point of his career on Friday. It was only Cliche's second NHL game of his career as he has spent most of the last six seasons in the minors. He saw fourth line minutes as he replaced John Mitchell who moved up to the first line to replace the injured Gabriel Landeskog. Cliche has no fantasy value but it's a good story that at the age of 26 he is finally getting a shot in the NHL.

Marc-Andre Cliche will make his Colorado debut Friday. "I'm pretty nervous actually. I didn't get much sleep last night," said Cliche. "I'm just excited to get in and get a chance to show what I can do." He has one game of NHL experience and it came in 2009-10 with Los Angeles. Cliche was claimed off waivers from the Kings last month and he's getting a chance to play due to Gabriel Landeskog's injury.

Marc-Andre Cliche is being projected to serve as Colorado's 13th forward at the start of the regular season. Cliche was claimed off waivers from Los Angeles last week. He has a one-way contract worth $537,500 and would be exposed to waivers again if assigned to the minors.

The Colorado Avalanche claimed Marc-Andre Cliche off waivers from the Los Angeles Kings. Cliche is on a one-way contract, so the Avalanche would either need to keep him in the lower ranks of the team or hope that he clears waivers to get sent down to the AHL. Cliche has a single game of NHL experience to his name, playing one game for the Kings in 2009-10.
