Jonathan Quick posts shutout in Edmonton

Jonathan Quick stopped all 32 shots he faced in Tuesday's 5-0 victory at Edmonton for his third shutout of the season.

The shutout was also the 47th of Quick's career, and second ever against Edmonton. He has been dominant in his career against the Oilers, posting a 21-3-5 record, and he entered the night with a 1.83 goals-against average and .932 save percentage against them all time. His next assignment is likely to be Thursday evening in Calgary.

Chris Tierney signs two-year deal with Sharks

Chris Tierney has signed a two-year, $5.875 million contract with the San Jose Sharks.

Tierney had an arbitration hearing scheduled for July 20 in case the two sides couldn't reach an agreement before then. This is a big raise over his previous salary of $735,000, but that makes sense given that he scored 17 goals and 40 points in 82 games last season.

Rangers ink Jimmy Vesey to 2-year/$4.55M deal

Jimmy Vesey has signed a two-year, $4.55 million contract with the New York Rangers.

Vesey had an arbitration hearing scheduled for July 30 that's now moot. He will earn $2.2 million in 2018-19 and $2.35 million in the second season of the deal. He had 17 goals and 28 points in 79 games last season, so he'll need to step up significantly if he's going to earn a long-term contract at the end of this bridge deal.

Preds secure Juuse Saros for three more years

Juuse Saros has signed a three-year, $4.5 million contract with the Nashville Predators.

Saros was a restricted free agent this summer. He posted a 2.45 GAA and .925 save percentage in 26 contests in 2017-18. Over the last two seasons, Saros has emerged as one of the league's better backups, so this is a pretty solid contract for Nashville. Keep in mind that Pekka Rinne is entering the final season of his current contract and will turn 36-years-old in November, so Saros might be tested as the Predators' starter before this deal is over.

Ducks sign Adam Henrique to a five-year deal

Adam Henrique has signed a five-year, $29.125 million contract extension with the Anaheim Ducks.

Henrique will play out the final season of his six-year, $24 million contract before this new deal takes effect. He could have become an unrestricted free agent in 2019. Henrique scored 24 goals and 50 points in 81 games with New Jersey and Anaheim last season. It was the third time in his career that he's reached the 50-point milestone.

Flames sign Elias Lindholm to six-year deal

Elias Lindholm has signed a six-year, $29.1 million contract with the Calgary Flames.

In other words, Lindholm will come with a $4.85 million cap hit going forward. The Flames are taking a risk here, but not a bad one. Lindholm had 16 goals and 44 points in 81 contests last season and the 23-year-old's career-high was 45 points, so by that measurement this is an over payment. However, he still has significant offensive upside and if he lives up to his potential then this might end up looking like a steal.

Former NHL goalie Ray Emery has drowned

Ray Emery drowned while swimming with friends Sunday morning.

Emery was just 35-years-old. He started his career with the Ottawa Senators and went on to also play for the Philadelphia Flyers, Anaheim Ducks, and Chicago Blackhawks. At one point his career was in jeopardy due to avascular necrosis, but he underwent hip surgery and was able to continue playing. He was a Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy nominee in 2011 in recognition of what he had to overcome. He also helped Chicago win the Jennings Trophy in 2013 by posting a 1.94 GAA and .922 save percentage in 21 contests. We'd like to extend our condolences to Emery's friends and family.

Ryan Murray takes Columbus' qualifying offer

Ryan Murray has accepted the Columbus Blue Jackets' one-year, qualifying offer.

He was taken with the second overall pick in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, but hasn't developed as hoped, in part due to some bad luck when it's come to injuries. Murray had a goal and 12 points in 44 games last season. His qualifying offer is worth $2.825 million for the 2018-19 campaign.
