Samanski was reassigned to AHL Bakersfield on Wednesday.

This is functionally a paper move, as Samanski will spend the Olympic break in Italy representing Germany. The 23-year-old will need to play in one AHL game before being recalled to the NHL roster, but that's unlikely to happen until the NHL schedule resumes. Given Germany's underdog status, Samanski should have the time to get back to the Condors and get in a game before the Oilers face the Ducks on Feb. 25.

Martin logged three assists in WHL Spokane's 7-2 win over Penticton on Wednesday.

Martin has earned five points over his last three games, but that follows a stretch of eight contests where he was limited to two points. He's been streaky all season, and he's now at a total of 29 points in 45 appearances. The Jets prospect has taken a step back from last season, though offense isn't going to be where he makes his money in the long run.

Poitras was reassigned to AHL Providence on Wednesday.

Wednesday's game versus the Panthers was the last one before the Olympics for the Bruins. Poitras will continue to play in the AHL while the NHL team is on a multi-week break. He has one goal over three NHL outings this season.

Dach (undisclosed) won't return to Wednesday's game versus the Blue Jackets.

Dach was ruled out prior to the start of the third period. The 23-year-old forward will get the Olympic break to rest and recover, as the Blackhawks' next game is Feb. 26 versus the Predators.

Bjugstad was acquired by New Jersey from St. Louis on Wednesday in exchange for Thomas Bordeleau and a conditional 2026 fourth-round draft pick.

Bjugstad had six goals, seven points, 25 PIM and 73 hits in 35 outings with St. Louis in 2025-26 before the trade. He'll probably be limited to a bottom-six role with the Devils, but that might still result in him getting more ice time than the 11:38 he averaged with the Blues this season.

Bordeleau and a conditional 2026 fourth-round pick were traded to the Blues from the Devils on Wednesday in exchange for Nick Bjugstad.

Bordeleau appeared in 44 games with the Sharks in the past four seasons, but he hasn't made an appearance at the NHL level yet in 2025-26 Over 35 appearances with AHL Utica this campaign, he has posted two goals, six assists, 37 PIM and a minus-13 rating. He'll presumably report to AHL Springfield following the trade.

Catton (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.

Oscar Fisker Molgaard was recalled from the minors in a corresponding move. Catton has five goals and 11 points in 40 appearances in 2025-26. The 20-year-old Catton was already expected to be out until after the Olympic break, so moving him to IR doesn't impact his timetable.

Fisker Molgaard was promoted from AHL Coachella Valley on Wednesday.

Fisker Molgaard has seen action in two NHL games for the Kraken this year, notching one assist, one hit and one shot while averaging just 6:00 of ice time. Even with his promotion, the youngster is unlikely to get into Wednesday's clash with the Kings. In a corresponding move, Berkly Catton (upper body) went on injured reserve.

Hughes (lower body) will not be an option versus the Islanders on Thursday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Hughes will miss his third straight game, as the medical staff doesn't feel comfortable giving him the green light yet. His availability for the 2026 Winter Olympics is unclear, but he remains day-to-day. Before getting hurt, the 24-year-old center was rolling offensively with 12 points in his last 11 games, including one goal and five helpers with the man advantage.

Washe was reassigned to AHL San Diego on Wednesday.

Washe has a goal and two points in 13 outings with Anaheim in 2025-26. The Ducks don't have any remaining games before the Olympic break, so this will give Washe a chance to continue to play while the NHL team is off. The 24-year-old also has 13 goals and 25 points in 30 outings with San Diego this campaign.
