NHL Player News

Frost scored a power-play goal on four shots and added two assists in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Hurricanes.

Frost has five points over four outings in March. He showed some growth in January with eight points in 14 games, but he didn't get on the scoresheet over four contests in February around the Olympic break. The 26-year-old center is poised to fill a larger role following the Flames' trade of Nazem Kadri to the Avalanche. Frost is up to 14 goals, 32 points (13 on the power play), 105 shots on net and a minus-15 rating over 62 appearances. He was limited to 37 points in 81 contests between Calgary and Philadelphia last year, but he's poised to get back over the 40-point mark in 2025-26.

Mueller scored twice in AHL Abbotsford's 4-0 win over Colorado on Saturday.

Mueller has 13 goals and 30 points over 50 AHL appearances this season. He may still get a look at the NHL level later in the campaign, especially if injuries pile up in Vancouver. Mueller didn't have a point in two appearances with the big club in 2024-25.

Cirelli delivered two assists in a 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday.

He didn't have a point in three straight outings before Saturday's contest after returning from a four-game absence due to an injury. Cirelli has 37 points (15 goals, 22 assists), 97 shots and a plus-26 rating in 53 games this season. His winning percentage at the dot is 48.6 percent. Cirelli has more value on the ice than in the fantasy arena, but he does heat up offensively from time to time.

Point scored a goal Saturday in a 5-2 win over Toronto.

The game was his 700th regular-season contest in the NHL. Point is on a three-game, four-point scoring streak (one goal, three assists; four shots). He has nine points, including four goals, in six games since the Olympic break.

Morrison scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Coachella Valley's 4-2 win over Calgary on Saturday.

Morrison had gone five games without a point prior to Saturday. He had mostly avoided cold stretches this season, and he's at 25 goals and 27 helpers through 54 appearances in his third year with the Firebirds. Morrison is not yet ready for a full-time NHL gig, but he's taken a noticeable step up in the AHL in 2025-26.

Guentzel had a goal and an assist in a 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday.

Guentzel is on a three-game, four-point scoring streak (one goal, three assists). He has 27 goals, 40 assists and 166 shots in 61 games this season. Guentzel is on a 90-point pace so far, which would set a new career high.

Lombardi scored twice in OHL Flint's 4-2 win over Windsor on Saturday.

Lombardi had two goals and three assists over eight contests between multi-point efforts. The Kings prospect is up to 33 goals, 66 points, 168 shots on net and a plus-31 rating through 60 appearances this season. He's grown his offense from last year's 45-point performance in 63 regular-season outings, which is a positive sign. The 19-year-old signed his entry-level deal in December, so he's likely to play one more year of junior hockey before moving on to the AHL.

Barkey scored a goal in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Penguins.

Barkey's goal tied the game 3-3 midway through the second period. He took a pass from Matvei Michkov as he drove the net, and he lifted a backhand in at the right post. It was Barkey's first goal in 11 games. He has three goals, eight assists and 30 shots in 27 games this season.

Rakell had a goal and an assist in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Flyers.

The goal was Rakell's 12th goal of the season. He has 27 points in 41 games this season, and he'll be expected to carry a lot with Sidney Crosby (lower body) out and Evgeni Malkin serving the first game of a five-game suspension. Rakell is more of a passenger than a driver, so his game could shrink in the short term.

Gaudreau (illness) isn't expected to play Saturday versus Ottawa.

Gaudreau has four goals and 18 points in 48 appearances this season. Ryan Winterton will probably draw into the lineup as a result of Gaudreau's absence. The 32-year-old Gaudreau might be able to return Tuesday versus Nashville.
