    Hurricanes' Jordan Staal: Pots goal in shootout loss

    Staal scored a goal and added three hits in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Blackhawks.

    Staal snapped a 16-game goal drought with the effort. In that span, he racked up six assists and 21 shots on net, and he's maintained a spot on the second power-play unit, though it hasn't led to increased production. The 37-year-old center has 11 goals, 21 points, 66 shots on net, 94 hits, 26 blocked shots, 25 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 48 appearances this season in his customary middle-six role.

  • Bo Horvat C | NYI

    Islanders' Bo Horvat: Expected back Saturday

    Horvat (lower body) is slated to play in Saturday's clash with Buffalo, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

    Horvat looks poised to return to his first-line center role in addition to linking up with the No. 1 power-play unit. Injuries have derailed Horvat's season, as he has featured in just four of the Isles' last 18 contests. When healthy, the veteran has produced at a fantastic rate, generating 21 goals and 12 assists in 36 contests, including 12 power-play points.

  • Bruins' Morgan Geekie: Two helpers against Vegas

    Geekie notched two power-play assists in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.

    Both helpers came 30 seconds apart midway through the first period as the Bruins grabbed a 2-0 lead. It was Geekie's first multi-point performance since Dec. 20, and during the 13 games in between, the 27-year-old managed only one goal and four points -- his first real slump of the season.

  • Bruins' Elias Lindholm: Two points against Vegas

    Lindholm scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.

    The veteran center gave the Bruins a 2-0 lead midway through the first period before helping to set up what proved to be the game-winner by David Pastrnak in the second. Lindholm has put together a strong January, delivering three goals and 10 points in 10 games on the month.

  • Jack Eichel C | LV

    Golden Knights' Jack Eichel: Point streak reaches 10 games

    Eichel scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Bruins.

    Both points came in the third period, as the Golden Knights tried to mount a comeback from a 4-0 deficit. Eichel extended his point streak to 10 games in the process, a scoring surge in which he's racked up six goals and 18 points, including six power-play helpers.

  • Jets' Danny Zhilkin: Sent to Manitoba

    Zhilkin was loaned to AHL Manitoba on Friday.

    Zhilkin spent just over two weeks with the Jets but appeared in only four games during that time, recording no points, four blocked shots, three hits and a plus-2 rating while averaging 8:14 of ice time. He should have more consistent opportunities to garner playing time with the Moose.

  • Wild's Hunter Haight: Sent down Friday

    Haight was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Friday.

    Haight spent the past week with the NHL club and appeared in three games during that time, recording no points, four hits, a blocked shot and a minus-2 rating while averaging 9:53 of ice time. He should have more consistent opportunities to contribute in the minors.

  • Ben Jones C | MIN

    Wild's Ben Jones: Sent down to minors

    Jones was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Friday.

    Jones could still be recalled prior to Saturday's matchup with the Panthers, assuming he suits up for AHL Iowa in Friday's Outdoor Classic against AHL Milwaukee. Even if the Ontario native is added back to the NHL roster, he will likely serve as a healthy scratch now that Joel Eriksson Ek is back in the lineup.

  • Predators' Ryan O'Reilly: Another three-point effort

    O'Reilly recorded three assists, including one on the power play, in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Senators.

    O'Reilly is riding an impressive six-game point streak while posting three multi-point efforts over his last four contests. The star playmaker has been a dominant force for the Predators in recent weeks and is up to 16 points (seven goals, nine assists) with a plus-5 rating since the beginning of January. This prolific stretch has him at 50 points (18 goals, 32 helpers) in 50 games in 2025-26.

  • Predators' Steven Stamkos: Scores hat trick Thursday

    Stamkos recorded a hat trick, including two power-play goals, in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Senators.

    The Predators erased a 3-0 deficit to secure a 5-3 victory at home, and Stamkos was a big reason why Nashville mounted an impressive comeback. The star forward netted a power-play marker late in the second period and added two key goals in the final frame -- the 3-3 equalizer at 10:07 and the go-ahead tally at 18:47. This was Stamkos' second game with at least three goals this season. He's up to six goals and eight points over his last six contests.
