Necas (lower body) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Sharks, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

Necas continues to deal with a lower-body injury and will be sidelined for a third consecutive game heading into the Olympic break. He's on the roster for Czechia for the upcoming Olympics, and he's expected to be good to go for the tournament, Bailey Curtis of DNVR Sports reports. Valeri Nichushkin should continue to see an increased role for the Avalanche during Wednesday's matchup.

Harkins logged two assists in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

This performance ended a 12-game slump for Harkins. He was scratched three times in that span, and he'll have to fend off Ryan Strome for playing time moving forward. Harkins is at three goals, five points, 21 shots on net, 86 hits, 13 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 31 outings this season. He continues to primarily play in a bottom-six role when in the lineup.

Guentzel scored a goal and added an assist in a 4-3 overtime win over the Sabres on Tuesday.

Guentzel scored the winner on a feed from Nikita Kucherov with just 15 seconds remaining. He has two consecutive two-point games and 12 points (five goals, seven assists) in his last eight contests. Guentzel is en fuego this season, and he's on pace to establish a new career mark in points. He has 25 goals, 34 assists, 141 shots and a plus-13 rating in 54 games this season.

McMann scored an empty-net goal on five shots and added four hits in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Oilers.

For the second game in a row, McMann found the empty net to seal a win. This goal gave him seven points over his last seven outings. The 29-year-old winger continues to carry multi-category appeal with 19 goals, 32 points, 116 shots on net, 126 hits, 30 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 56 contests this season. McMann's fantasy value is boosted as long as he stays on the top line, though this was the Maple Leafs' last game before the Olympic break.

Tavares scored a power-play goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Oilers.

Tavares snapped a five-game goal drought and earned his first power-play point since Jan. 19 versus the Wild. The 35-year-old center's goal also stood as the game-winner as the Maple Leafs pulled away in the third period. Tavares is up to 20 goals, a mark he's reached in every full-length season of his career, and 47 points (eight on the power play) through 57 outings. He's added 140 shots on net, 52 hits and a minus-16 rating while holding onto a top-six role.

Barzal scored a goal on four shots, dished two assists and went plus-4 in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Penguins.

Barzal was a big part of the offense late in the game. His goal tied it at 3-3, and he set up Ryan Pulock for another equalizer before feeding Bo Horvat on a breakaway for the game-winner in overtime. Barzal has earned four multi-point efforts and a total of five goals and seven assists over his last nine outings. For the season, the 28-year-old forward is up to 16 goals, 50 points, 123 shots on net, 36 blocked shots, 43 PIM and a plus-11 rating over 56 appearances in a top-six role. Barzal's career high in goals is 23, and that's a mark he's poised to challenge over the remainder of the campaign.

Horvat scored twice on three shots, added an assist, logged two hits, blocked two shots and went plus-5 in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Penguins.

The Islanders kept Horvat and Mathew Barzal together for a second game, and it paid off big. This was Horvat's first multi-point effort since Dec. 9 versus Vegas, which was prior to a pair of lower-body injuries that cost him a total of 14 contests. The center has five points over seven outings since returning from the second injury, and he's at a total of 23 goals (four game-winners), 38 points, 138 shots on net, 33 hits, 23 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a plus-7 rating over 43 appearances this season.

Point (lower body) was transferred to long-term injured reserve Tuesday, per PuckPedia.

Point last played Jan. 12 versus the Flyers. He is required to be out for 10 games and 24 days. He will complete the first requirement Tuesday versus the Sabres, but he's already been ruled out for the Lightning up to the Olympic break. Point is still a possibility to play for Team Canada at the Olympics, though it remains what the national team is planning to do in regards to his status.

Chytil (head) is slated to miss Wednesday's road game against the Golden Knights, per Thomas Drance of The Athletic.

Head coach Adam Foote provided Chytil's update, stating that the 26-year-old forward is dealing with migraines. Wednesday's game is the Canucks' final contest before the Olympic break, meaning Chytil will get a few extra days of rest. Across 12 games this season, he has three goals and 24 shots on net. Barring any setbacks, he'll likely return to a bottom-six role for the Canucks following the Olympic break.

Laczynski was loaned to AHL Henderson on Tuesday.

Vegas recalled Kai Uchacz from the minors in a corresponding move. Laczynski has two assists, 12 shots on goal, five blocked shots and two hits in nine NHL appearances this season. He also has 13 goals and 36 points in 33 AHL outings during the 2025-26 campaign.
