The Vegas Golden Knights have re-signed defensemen Jeremy Lauzon and Rasmus Andersson to multi-year deals.

Lauzon played 68 regular season games and 12 playoff games with the Knights, earning 13 points.
Andersson appeared in 33 regular season games and 22 playoff games, earning 23 points.
The signings come as the team stands 4th in the Western Conference with a 39-26 record, on a W3 streak.
The Golden Knights also traded Keegan Kolesar to the Detroit Red Wings in exchange for a seventh-round pick in 2027 and a third-round pick in 2029.
The team announced new signings, including forwards Marc Gatcomb and Victor Olofsson, and defensemen Adam Ginning, Ville Heinola, and Antti Tuomisto.
Forward Cole Smith signed a three-year, $3 million AAV contract with the Chicago Blackhawks.
Center Colton Sissons will head to the Toronto Maple Leafs, agreeing to a two-year, $4.25 million AAV contract.
The Golden Knights are looking to build on their current momentum, with a strong roster and new additions.
And the team's fans are excited to see how the new signings will perform.
But the competition in the Western Conference is fierce, and the Golden Knights will need to stay focused.
So the team's management is working hard to ensure they have the best possible lineup.
The Golden Knights' current standing is a testament to their hard work and dedication.
