Rise and shine! Let’s go over some news and notes:
– With a convincing 3-1 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday, the Golden Knights are in the midst of a three-game winning streak! They’re back, folks! [KOI]
– Oh, and the Knights also signed Alex Tuch to a seven-year contract extension, so that’s pretty nifty. [KOI]
– For those worried about Tuch’s long-term value, don’t be. The kid’s going to be a stud, and the scouts agree. [HockeyBuzz]
– So what’s Tuch’s ceiling exactly? Coaches and players sound off. [The Athletic]
In other news…
– Aside from William Karlsson (obviously), who should be considered the greatest goal-scorer in NHL history? [ESPN]
– The NHL doesn’t have an official policy on domestic violence, which is, um, absurd. Our friends over at Arctic Ice Hockey examine why a change is badly needed. [Arctic Ice Hockey]
– Corey Crawford made his long-awaited return to the ice Thursday, and if there’s one thing we learned from his first game back, it’s that he’s far more than just a really good hockey player. [Second City Hockey]
– Predators coach Peter Laviolette got pretty wild the other night.
This is @PredsNHL coach Peter Laviolette. The Team had a bet if they won the first two games of the trip thru Western Canada he would wear this..and that’s no bull. pic.twitter.com/hZflfgaqzt
