The Blackhawks have signed Erik Gustafsson to a two-year contract extension.

Gustafsson was set to become a restricted free agent at the end of the season but is now signed through the 2019-20 season. The 25-year-old defenseman was drafted in the fourth round (No.93 overall) in 2012 and has picked up five points (1G / 4A) in 19 games with the Blackhawks this season.

The Calgary Flames have traded forward Alex Tanguay and defenceman Cory Sarich to the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for forward David Jones and defenceman Shane O'Brien.

The 34-year-old Sarich, had two assists in 28 games for the Flames this year. The veteran has also skated for Buffalo and Tampa Bay in his 14 NHL seasons.

Cory Sarich donned a regular practice jersey for the first time this morning, as he was a full participant in the skate. He won't play tonight, and may not play any preseason action either, but it's very likely he'll start the season. That's a good thing in my eyes, as Sarich is still an NHL defender, and can give you some value on your third pairing

Sarich paired with Mark Giordano last season and was expected to help round out the top-four this season. He scored four goals and 17 points last season in 76 games. Look for him to post similar numbers, if healthy, which makes him irrelevant in fantasy hockey terms.
