Fritz was let go from his professional tryout by the Islanders on Thursday, Arthur Staple of Newsday reports.
Fritz spent part of last season in both the ECHL and the AHL after a four-year collegiate career with Ohio State in which he racked up 110 points in 142 outings. The winger will report to the Bridgeport Sound Tigers on a minor league contract, but is eligible to be signed by any NHL team.
