The recent NHL updates have brought significant attention to the achievements and challenges faced by various players and teams. Notably, the Vegas Golden Knights have bolstered their roster by signing goaltender Logan Thompson to a multi-year extension following his impressive performance last season. This move solidifies their goaltending situation as they aim to defend their championship title.

Meanwhile, the Tampa Bay Lightning are grappling with injury troubles as veteran forward Corey Perry is sidelined. The team's depth will be tested as they navigate the upcoming games without one of their key contributors. On the injury front, Blackwood’s health has also been a concern for the New Jersey Devils, leaving fans anxious about their season outlook.

Beyond the injuries, various players are seeing shifts in their rankings, with some emerging as fallers in the roto rankings. It's an era of change in the NHL, where performances are under a magnifying glass, and player health will play a pivotal role in shaping team fortunes as training camps kick off. The excitement is palpable as teams gear up for what promises to be a thrilling season ahead.
