The Flyers have signed Samu Tuomaala to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Ducks have re-signed Sam Steel to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Stars have signed Alex Petrovic to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Coyotes have acquired Vladislav Kolyachonok, Anton Stralman and a 2024 second-round pick from the Panthers for a 2023 seventh-round pick.
Kolyachonok was a second-round pick (No.52 overall) in 2019and split his 2021 campaign between the KHL and AHL. He started the year with Minsk (KHL) and collected six points (1G / 5A) in 46 games before returning to Syracuse (AHL). He had two assists in 10 AHL games and will likely report to the Coyotes AHL affiliate to start the 2021-22 season.
The Stars have signed Miro Heiskanen to an eight-year, $67.6 million contract extension.
After three years in the NHL, Heiskanen ranks 33rd among blueliners with 95 points (28G / 67A) in 205 games. His raise will make him the sixth-highest paid defenseman (as of now) in 2021-22 with an $8.45M AAV cap-hit. Heiskanen is an absolute workhorse for the Stars, ranking ninth in the NHL in TOI/gm (24:58) last season.
The Devils have signed Nathan Bastian to a two-year contract extension.
The Rangers have signed Nils Lundkvist to a three-year, entry-level contract.

Seguin (hip) will be a game-time decision on Monday.
Seguin has yet to play this season but is nearing his debut and could come Monday in Florida. When Seguin does play, he will likely centre the second line with Jamie Benn and Denis Gurianov on his wings. Seguin had 17 goals and 33 assists (50 points) in 69 games last year.
Erne (COVID-19) is on the ice for warmups; expected to be back in the lineup vs. the Lightning.

Rantanen (COVID-19) will return to the Avalanche lineup on Friday.
Rantanen has missed the last four games while in the COVID-19 protocol but will play Friday vs. the Sharks. The Avalanche top line had some struggles without Rantanen, so his return will provide a massive boost to a team that has lost three in a row.
Line Change
Lind will make his NHL debut on Thursday.
Lind was the No.33 overall pick in 2017 and is set to make his NHL debut on Thursday. The 22-year-old winger has scored five goals with three assists (eight points) in eight games with Utica (AHL) this season.
