Lehner will start Thursday vs. the Flyers.

Lehner allowed one goal on 34 shots in the Blackhawks shootout loss to the Golden Knights on Tuesday. Lehner has been spectacular in a Blackhawks uniform, stopping 100 of the first 106 shots (.943 SV%) he has faced through three games. The Flyers beat the Blackhawks in the season opener overseas but it's hard not to trust Lehner to turn in a good performance right now.

Lehner will make his Blackhawks debut against the Jets on Saturday.

Corey Crawford started the season opener and the home opener but Lehner will make his Blackhawks debut on Saturday. Lehner was outstanding in 2018-19, going 25-13-5 with a 2.13 GAA, .930 SV% and six shutouts with the Islanders. Chicago is giving up the fifth-most shots per game, so he’ll be much busier with his new team and has a tough matchup vs. a Jets team that is averaging 3.60 goals per game through five games.

The Kings have signed Ben Hutton to a one-year contract worth $1.5 million.

After four years and 276 NHL games with the Canucks, Hutton is going to the Kings on a one-year deal. The 26-year-old left-shot defenseman had 20 points (5G / 15A) in 69 games last season and provides Los Angeles with a little depth while Derek Forbort recovers from a back injury.

The Maple Leafs have re-signed Mitch Marner to a six-year contract worth $65.358 million ($10.893M AAV).

After just one day of training camp, the Maple Leafs and Marner were able to come to terms on a six-year contract extension that makes him the seventh highest paid player in the NHL (by AAV). Marner had 94 points (26G / 68A) last season and comes into 2020 with 90-point potential as a staple next to John Tavares.

The Blues have re-signed Ivan Barbashev to a two-year contract.

Barbashev had 14 goals and 12 assists (26 points) in 80 games in 2019. The 23-year-old also chipped in during the postseason, picking up six points (3G / 3A) in 25 games en route to winning the Stanley Cup. Barbashev is back but is buried on the depth chart behind Brayden Schenn, Ryan O’Reilly, and Tyler Bozak.

The Coyotes have re-signed Adin Hill to a one-year, two-way contract.

Hill spent most of the 2019 in the AHL, but also went 7-5-0 with a 2.76 GAA, .901 SV% and one shutout in 13 NHL contests. The former third-round pick was 16-19-2 with a 2.61 GAA and .906 SV% in 36 games in Tucson (AHL). With Antti Raanta and Darcy Kuemper firmly ahead of him on the depth chart, Hill will open the 2020 season with the Roadrunners.

The Predators have signed Colton Sissons to a seven-year contract extension worth $20.0 million ($2.857M AAV).

Sissons set career-bests in goals (15) and points (30) in 75 games a season go. Sissons is an integral part of the Predators bottom-6, ranking second on the team in faceoffs (53.1 percent), first among Predators forwards in SH TOI/GM (1:59) and hits (109). It is the type of contract you don’t see very often for a player with Sissons role but the Predators are making a long-term commitment to him.
