Nico Hischier scores in first preseason game

Nico Hischier scored in his first career preseason game as the Devils earned a 4-1 victory over the Washington Capitals Monday night.

Hischier was taken with the first overall pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft. While he might not have the same kind of impact that recent top picks Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews have had, Hischier obviously still has a lot of upside. He's a great pick in keeper leagues even if we would pencil him in for 40-50 points for the 2017-18 campaign. Kyle Palmieri, Stefan Noesen, and Mirco Mueller netted the Devils' other three goals. Nathan Walker found the back of the net for Washington.

Wild, Mikko Koivu agree on two-year extension

Mikko Koivu has signed a two-year, $11 million contract extension with the Minnesota Wild.

Koivu is entering the final season of his seven-year, $47.25 million contract, so he's now locked up through the 2019-20 campaign. That means he'll be 37-years-old by the time his extension ends. In that context, the $5.5 million cap hit he'll receive during his new contract seems reasonable. There's obviously an element of risk there given his age, but he's solid offensively and a strong defensive center. He also means a lot to the organization as the only full-time captain the Wild have ever had and he's the franchise leader in both games played and points.

Tyler Wong scores first preseason VGK goal

21-year-old Tyler Wong scored Las Vegas' first pre-season goal in franchise history on Sunday night, then added three more points in the 9-4 blowout over Vancouver.

Wong made sure Vegas lit the lamp in style for the first goal in Golden Knights history. Taking a stunning flip pass from Cody Glass that split the Canucks' defense, Wong stormed down the wing and lifted a backhander into the net for an early 1-0 lead. Wong ended the night with a hat trick and an assist, picking up right where he left off from his 109-point season in the WHL last year.

Coyotes get Jason Demers from the Panthers

The Arizona Coyotes have acquired Jason Demers from the Florida Panthers in exchange for Jamie McGinn.

Demers had nine goals and 28 points in 81 contests with Florida in 2016-17. He's got a shot at being a second pairing defenseman with the Coyotes. "We are very pleased to add Jason to our blueline corps," said Coyotes GM John Chayka. "Jason is a skilled right-handed shot defenseman who moves the puck well and has good offensive ability. He will be a great addition to our team." It's worth noting that the Panthers are also retaining 12.5% of Demers' annual $4.5 million cap hit.

Radulov practising with Seguin and Benn

Alexander Radulov was skating alongside Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn at practice on Sunday.

Well, we knew that was coming. New coach Ken Hitchcock has to make a decision as to whether Radulov is a fit with his two superstars. If he is, then Radulov becomes a very valuable fantasy commodity. Keep an eye on this situation going forward.

Zach Aston-Reese skates with Malkin, Kessel

Zach Aston-Reese is skating on a line with Evgeni Malkin and Phil Kessel in training camp

This trio has been skating together for the first two days of training camp, which is kind of telling. Aston-Reese probably won't play there during the regular season, but the Pens want to see what he could do with elite offensive players. There's a chance Aston-Reese could crack the Penguins roster this fall. The 23-year-old had 63 points in 38 games with Northeastern University last season. He added eight points in 10 games in the AHL.

Coach lists Zach Parise (back) as day-to-day

Zach Parise (back) is considered day-to-day, according to coach Bruce Boudreau.

Boudreau doesn't think it's serious, but for now the team is being "overly precautions." It was reported recently that Parise tweaked his back. He didn't skate with his teammates on the first day of training camp, but he was on the ice before practice with the team's skating coach. Parise isn't a stranger to battling injury issues and his fantasy stock has taken a considerable hit for the last two seasons as a result.

Sami Vatanen might be ready in November

Sami Vatanen (shoulder) might be available to play sometime in November.

He won't be a full participant at training camp, but feels he is on the right track. "It's not ready yet," Vatanen said. "I'm progressing every day. I've been skating right now and doing a little bit of passing and shooting. It feels better every week. We've just got to keep doing what we're doing and try not to have any setbacks."
