The Tampa Bay Lightning inked Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds forward Boris Katchouk to a three-year entry level contract. Katchouk had a strong season for the Greyhounds, racking up 64 points (35 G, 29 A) across 66 regular season games and an additional 13 points (8 G, 5 A) in 11 playoff games. Katchouk joined Mitchell Stephens on the Syracuse Crunch roster last week.
“Never one to hide his emotions, Boris Katchouk made it abundantly clear what signing his first NHL contract meant to him. ‘I’m super thrilled. I’m pumped,’ said the 18-year-old Kitchener native.
