Re-ups with BlueshirtsBlidh signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Rangers on Wednesday, per PuckPedia.
Advice: Blidh posted 23 points in 53 AHL games between Hartford and Colorado. The winger is a veteran of 84 NHL contests over the last seven years, but he's managed just 12 points. He'll likely be organizational depth for the Rangers, and he'll be limited to a bottom-six role at the NHL level at best. Rotowire.comAnton Blidh NYR - LW,RW -
Inks two-year dealAthanasiou signed a two-year, $8.5 million contract with the Blackhawks on Wednesday, per PuckPedia.
Advice: Athanasiou was able to turn his second-best season into a two-year deal after logging 20 goals and 20 helpers in 81 contests in 2022-23. The 28-year-old forward was often playing in a top-six role for Chicago, especially later in the season after trades decimated the forward depth. He's a natural center but may fit better on the wing, and the potential that he could end up playing with Connor Bedard makes Athanasiou slightly more interesting for fantasy managers.

Remaining with DallasPetrovic signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Stars on Wednesday.
Advice: Petrovic was part of the leadership group at AHL Texas this year, logging a career-best 27 points in 71 contests. The veteran defenseman will likely fill a similar role in 2023-24 while also being available as an option if the Stars need some experience on the back end. Rotowire.comAlexander Petrovic DAL - D -
Contract with Swedish club canceledJohansson's two-year contract with Farjestad BK of the Swedish Hockey League, which was signed in May, was terminated Wednesday.
Advice: It appears Johansson will be looking for an NHL contract instead. He had a 2.33 GAA and a .920 save percentage in 26 AHL contests with the Eagles in 2022-23. The 27-year-old has appeared in 35 career NHL games, posting an 11-13-4 record, 3.35 GAA and .886 save percentage. Rotowire.comJonas Johansson COL - GNA -
Misses practice with illnessKarlsson missed Wednesday's practice because of an illness, according to Ben Gotz of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Advice: Karlsson is still probable for Game 3 on Thursday. It would be a big loss for Vegas if he isn't able to play, especially given that he's provided 10 goals and 15 points in 19 playoff contests this year. If Karlsson isn't available Thursday, then Teddy Blueger might draw into the lineup for the first time since May 25. Rotowire.comWilliam Karlsson VGK - C,LWDTD
