He was selected to represent Canada at the 2006 World Junior Championships in Vancouver, where he helped lead the Canadian team to the gold medal. He was one of the leading scorers in the tournament with 3 goals and 4 assists for 7 points in 6 games, and led his team in scoring.

After an impressive NHL training camp, Comeau was assigned to the Bridgeport Sound Tigers for the start of the AHL season. He was recalled by the Islanders on December 7, 2006, and made his NHL debut that evening. In a separate recall, he scored his first NHL goal and recorded his first assist on December 21 against the Pittsburgh Penguins. He would go on to score 8 goals and tally 7 assists in 51 games for the Islanders in the 2007–08 NHL season.
On March 2, 2010, Comeau notched his first NHL hat trick in a 5-3 victory against the Chicago Blackhawks at the Nassau Coliseum.
