Vegas Golden Knights News
The Coyotes have signed Dysin Mayo to a one-year, two-way contract extension.
The Golden Knights have signed Connor Corcoran to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Golden Knights have signed Nicolas Roy to a two-year contract extension worth $1.5 million ($750K AAV).
After being acquired from t he Hurricanes as a part of the Erik Haula trade, Roy split the 2020 campaign between the NHL and AHL. With the Golden Knights, he had 10 points (5G / 5A) in 28 games while scoring seven goals with 15 assists (22 points) in 27 games. Signing a two-year contract means he's signed through 2022 and will still be an RFA at the end of the deal.
The Panthers signed Cole Schwindt to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Schwindt was a third-round draft pick (No.81 overall) in 2019 and just finished his third season with the Mississauga Steelheads (OHL). The 18-year-old centre led the team with 71 points (28G / 43A) in 57 games.
The Flyers signed Tanner Laczynski to a two-year, entry-level deal.
Laczynski was picked in the sixth-round of the 2016 draft and the 22-year-old centre finished his senior season at the University of Ohio State with a team-leading 34 points (11G / 23A) in 36 games.
The Golden Knights signed Zach Whitecloud to a two-year extension worth $1.45 million ($725K AAV).
After picking up seven points (2G / 5A) in 35 AHL games, Whitecloud became a fixture on the Golden Knights' third pair before the NHL suspended the season. The 23-year-old defenseman has picked up just one assist in 16 NHL games while adding 10 hits and 16 blocked shots.
The Oilers signed Raphael Lavoie to a three-year entry-level contract on March 21st.
The Oilers selected Lavoie in the second round (No.38 overall) in 2019. The 19-year-old centre was traded from Halifax to Chicoutimi midseason and finished the campaign tied for eighth in QMJHL scoring with 82 points (38G / 44A) in 55 games.
Stone (lower-body) is expected to return before the end of the regular season.
Golden Knights Pete DeBoer says that Stone remains week-to-week but that he anticipates Stone to be back for some regular-season games. Nicolas Roy is expected to remain in the top-6 moving forward.
Goalie Start
Lehner will start Thursday in Minnesota.
Hanifin (upper-bodyl) missed Tuesday's practice and is questionable to play Thursday.
Hanifin is going through protocol but head coach Geoff Ward doesn't think it will be a long-term absence. Travis Hamonic skated in Hanfin's spot on Tuesday and it looks like he could replace him on Thursday.
Goalie Start
Lehner will start Sunday in Calgary.
Goalie Start
Samsonov will start Thursday in New York.
Samsonov allowed two goals on 31 shots in the Capitals loss in Winnipeg last Thursday. After not losing a game in January, Samsonov did not win a game in February, going 0-4-0 with a 3.86 GAA and .877 SV%. Tonight he faces a Rangers team that has gone 4-7-0 with 2.64 goals per game in their last 11 games at MSG.
Goalie Start
Lehner will start Tuesday vs. the Devils.
Lehner allowed two goals on 34 shots in the Golden Knights win over the Sabres last Friday. It was an extremely strong debut for Lehner, who will make his second start tonight vs. the Devils. New Jersey has played well recently, winning four of their last six (4-0-2) but they've scored just 2.50 goals per game in that span.
Quinney has been reassigned to Chicago (AHL).
Stone is week-to-week with a lower-body injury; expected to be back by the end of the regular season.
Goalie Start
Lehner will make his Golden Knights debut Friday vs. the Sabres.
Lehner was a surprising acquisition of the Golden Knights on Monday and will make his first start with his new team on Friday. Prior to being traded, Lehner went 16-10-5 with a 3.05 GAA and .918 SV% but goes from one of the worst defensive teams to one of the best. His debut will come against his former team, who he is 2-1-0 with a 1.69 GAA and .947 SV% against since leaving in 2019.
Stone (lower-body) will not play Friday vs. the Sabres.
Quinney was recalled from Chicago (AHL) and will be in the Golden Knights lineup on Friday.
Goalie Start
Samsonov will start Thursday in Winnipeg.
Samsonov allowed three goals on 29 shots in the Capitals win in New Jersey on Saturday. Braden Holtby started the last two games but Samsonov will start the second game of their home-and-home with the Jets. Samsonov has gone 0-3-0 with an ugly 4.55 GAA and .855 SV% in his last four outings (three starts). It is the ugliest stretch of his season but he'll face a Winnipeg team that is also on a three-game losing skid.
