NHL Player News

Luchanko scored a goal and added two assists in OHL Brantford's 4-2 win over Guelph on Saturday.

Luchanko has posted three straight multi-point efforts, following a stretch in which he was limited to two helpers in nine outings. The Flyers prospect has seven goals, 30 assists and a plus-12 rating over 32 appearances between Brantford and Guelph this season.

Toninato scored a goal and added three assists in AHL Rockford's 6-2 win over Milwaukee on Saturday.

Toninato has seven points over four outings in February. That's a surge for the forward, who has still been pretty good for the IceHogs with 12 goals and 34 points over 41 outings this season. Toninato could get a call-up later in the season for the Blackhawks if they need to replenish their forward depth.

Jones logged three assists in AHL Iowa's 8-6 loss to Springfield on Saturday.

Jones has two goals and eight helpers over his last six AHL outings. For the season, he's at 16 points in 15 outings for Iowa, as well as two points in 26 games for Minnesota at the NHL level. Jones would likely be considered for a call-up if the injury bug bites the Wild again.

Pitlick scored twice and added an assist in AHL Iowa's 8-6 loss to Springfield on Saturday.

Pitlick has earned four points over two games since he returned to the AHL. He has eight points over seven contests with Iowa this season. The Wild's numerous injuries at the NHL level have kept Pitlick in a depth role for the big club for much of the campaign, but he's earned just two goals in 31 contests for Minnesota.

Stancl scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Springfield's 8-6 win over Iowa on Saturday.

Stancl has four points over his last two games after going seven contests without a point. This was his first multi-point effort since a Dec. 6 hat trick. He has eight goals, seven assists and 51 shots on net over 36 appearances, and he'll likely continue to get development time in the AHL, as his offense isn't really at an NHL-ready level.

Geekie logged three assists in AHL Syracuse's 5-0 win over Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Saturday.

Geekie has gotten on the scoresheet in 10 of the last 11 games, earning four goals and 11 helpers in that span. For the season, he's up to 13 goals, 31 helpers and 125 shots on net through 41 appearances. The 21-year-old could still be a call-up option for the Lightning, but he'll likely spend the bulk of the rest of 2025-26 in the AHL to continue his development.

Helenius scored twice in AHL Rochester's 4-1 win over Utica on Saturday.

Helenius saw time with the Sabres prior to the Olympic break, and he's earned three goals and three assists over three outings since returning to the AHL. That should help him remain in contention for a call-up once the NHL season resumes. Helenius has 36 points in 37 AHL contests, surpassing his total of 35 points from 65 games in the 2024-25 regular season.

Eichel had a goal and assist in Team USA's 6-3 win Saturday over Team Denmark at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Denmark had scored on two of its first four shots, and Eichel was clutch with USA struggling. His goal and assist came in a 57-second span of the second period to turn a 2-1 deficit into a 3-2 lead. The Americans never trailed again. Teammate Jack Hughes raved to NHL.com about Eichel after the game: "He is a guy we look to for a lot of production. He carries a heavy burden for the Knights team, so it's the same role for him, having to come in here and produce and lead our team." Eichel has one goal and three assists in two games at the Olympics.

Girgensons picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Latvia's 4-3 win over Germany in Olympic round-robin action Saturday.

The veteran center had a hand in tallies by Dans Locmelis in the first period and Eduards Tralmaks in the third as Latvia won its first game of the tournament. Girgensons has three points, all assists, through his first two Olympic games after producing seven goals and 14 points in 48 games for the Lightning this season.

Pettersson scored two goals, one the game-winner, in Sweden's 5-3 victory over Slovakia in Olympic round-robin play Saturday.

After putting Sweden in the lead for good with a tally late in the second period, Pettersson made it 4-2 midway through the third. The points were the first of the tournament for the Canucks star, but they may not have been enough to ensure a bye into the quarterfinals for Sweden, as the team may need to play in the qualification round.
