The Golden Knights have signed Alex Tuch to a seven-year extension worth $33.25 million ($4.75M AAV).

Tuch has not played this season but is nearing his season debut and is coming off of a season in which he scored 15 goals and 22 assists in 78 games. Tuch also added 10 points (6G / 4A) in 20 playoff games during the Golden Knights run to the finals. Tuch joins Jonathan Marchessault, Reilly Smith, Brayden McNabb, Shea Theodore and Colin Miller as players under 30-years-old on long-term contracts.

The Flyers have activated Alex Lyon from IR and loaned him to Lehigh Valley (AHL).

Lyon is not waiver exempt, so he has been loaned to Lehigh Valley but will need to clear waivers in order to be sent to the AHL. The 25-year-old was 16-8-2 with a 2.75 GAA and .913 SV% in 27 games with the Phantoms a year ago.

Georgiev will start Sunday in Carolina.

Georgiev spent most of last year in Hartford (AHL), where he went 14-13-2 with a 2.98 GAA and .918 SV% in 37 starts. During a short time with the Rangers, the 22-year-old was 4-4-1 with 3.15 GAA and .918 SV% in 10 starts. He will serve as Henrik Lundqvist’s backup this season and make his first start against a Hurricanes team that has four goals in two games.

Tuch is week-to-week with a lower-body injury.

Tuch left the Golden Knights’ preseason finale with an undisclosed injury, that the Golden Knights revealed was a lower-body injury on Wednesday. Tuch is expected to miss at least a couple of weeks, which opens the door for Oscar Lindberg to enter the lineup on Thursday.

The Oilers have assigned Ryan McLeod to Mississauga (OHL).

McLeod was selected in the second-round (No.40) of this summer’s draft and enjoyed a strong training camp. The Oilers have plenty of depth down the middle, so McLeod returns to the Steelheads, where he had 70 points (26G / 44A) in 68 games last year.

The Sabres signed Rasmus Dahlin to a three-year, entry-level contract.

Dahlin was the first overall pick at this year’s draft and will be on the Sabres’ blueline this year. Dahlin is one of the biggest defensive prospects the NHL has seen in recent years and he immediately improves Buffalo’s back-end. The 18-year-old had seven goals and 13 assists (20 points) in 41 games with Frolunda HC last season and has the ability to be a double-digit goal-scorer with 20-plus assists in his rookie season.

The Flyers have signed Alex Lyon to a two-year deal worth $1.5M ($750K AAV).

Lyon split the 2018 season between Philadelphia (NHL) and Lehigh Valley (AHL). During his 11 games in the AHL, he went 6-5-0 with a 1.98 GAA and .944 SV% while going 4-2-1 with a 2.75 GAA and .905 SV% in 11 games for the Flyers. Injuries to Brian Elliott and/or Michal Neuvirth are the only way that Lyon will find himself back in the NHL in 2019.

The Sabres have selected Rasmus Dahlin with the No.1 overall pick.

Dahlin is the can’t miss prospect of this year’s draft. He has the size of Victor Hedman, the skating of Erik Karlsson and makes the game look simple like Nicklas Lidstrom. The 18-year-old had seven goals and 13 assists (20 points) in 41 games with Frolunda in Sweden’s top league. He picked up six assists in seven games during the World Juniors as well. He’ll be on the Buffalo blueline in 2019.

Georgiev will start Monday vs. the Capitals.

Georgiev allowed one goal on 44 shots in the Rangers win over the Sabres on Saturday. It was a great outing for Georgiev, who is now 3-1-0 with a 2.72 GAA and .933 SV% on home ice this season. The 22-year-old will continue to get work with Henrik Lundqvist still ailing.

The Wild have signed Jordan Greenway to a three-year, entry-level contract.

Greenway, 21, was a second round pick (No.50 overall) in 2015 and is set to join the Wild after finishing up his junior year at Boston University. Greenway is an absolute monster, standing in at 6-foot-5, 230 lbs. and is coming off of a year in which he scored 13 goals with 22 assists (35 points) in 36 games. He could jump right into the Minnesota lineup and could be an important addition for them in the postseason.

Georgiev will start Saturday vs. the Sabres.

Georgiev allowed four goals on 36 shots in the Rangers loss in Philadelphia on Thursday. After a hot start to his NHL career, Georgiev has now allowed at least three goals in his last four starts. Despite the recent struggles, he remains a pretty good option against a bad Sabres team.
