EDGE Analysis

Leschyshyn has had a tough time breaking into the Golden Knights' lineup, as William Carrier, Nicolas Roy and Keegan Kolesar have functioned as a very effective fourth line. In two games, Leschyshyn has two shots on goal, two PIM and seven hits. He'll likely have to wait for an injury to occur before he'll have a chance to draw in, as the Golden Knights' 12-2-0 record has encouraged head coach Bruce Cassidy to keep things status quo with his lineup.

Leschyshyn signed a three-year contract with the Golden Knights on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Leschyshyn established himself as an NHLer last season when injuries ravaged the Golden Knights' forward corps. While he managed just six points in 41 games in his age-22 season, he'll have a little job security with a three-year deal. The forward's contract is one-way in all three years, so it seems like he'll have a realistic chance to make the Opening Night roster this season, albeit in a bottom-six role.

Leschyshyn was reassigned to AHL Henderson on Friday.
