Bellows, a native of Edina, Minnesota, was drafted 19th overall in the first round in 2016 by the New York Islanders and spent parts of four seasons in the NHL with them before being claimed off waivers by the Philadelphia Flyers last October.
Last season, Bellows appeared in 28 NHL games between the Islanders and Flyers, where he tallied three goals, six penalty minutes and was a minus-eight.
