Seeking offensive help for their superstar center John Tavares, the Islanders on Thursday acquired right wing Jordan Eberle from the Edmonton Oilers for Ryan Strome.

Eberle, 27, was a first-round pick by the Oilers in 2008. He scored 20 goals and added 31 assists, playing 82 games with Edmonton last season. He has 20 or more goals in five of his seven seasons, including a career-high 34 in 2011-12.

Eberle potentially gives the Islanders a bona fide force on Tavares’s right wing. Tavares had success when Kyle Okposo played on his right side for several seasons, but Okposo signed with the Buffalo Sabres last summer.

Eberle has two years remaining on a six-year, $36 million contract at $6 million per season. He had two assists in 13 playoff games for the Oilers in the spring in his only postseason experience.
