Blues' Aleksanteri Kaskimaki: Posts three points in AHL win
Kaskimaki scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Springfield's 4-3 shootout win over Syracuse on Saturday.
Kaskimaki has five goals and seven assists over his last nine AHL outings. For the season, he's up to 18 goals, 39 points and 144 shots on net over 58 appearances. That's up from 34 points in 63 regular-season contests a year ago. Kaskimaki's growth on offense could let him push for more NHL opportunities in 2026-27.

Mark Scheifele C | WPG
Jets' Mark Scheifele: Eclipses 60 helpers in win
Scheifele recorded two assists and served two PIM in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
Scheifele provided the primary helper on both of Winnipeg's goals Saturday, which were scored by his linemate Kyle Connor. With the pair of apples, Scheifele is up to 60 assists in 2025-26, making him the 11th player in the NHL to secure 60-plus assists this season. He's on pace to record his first campaign with 100-plus points, which would bode well for Winnipeg's playoff hopes. The 33-year-old star center isn't showing any signs of slowing down, giving him elite fantasy value for the remainder of the regular season.

Lundestrom was a game-time decision ahead of Saturday's contest for the second straight time, but he will not miss any time after he left Tuesday's game early. The 26-year-old has 12 points (four goals, eight assists) in 62 games on the season. He will skate on the fourth line with Zach Aston-Reese and Miles Wood.

Sabres' Noah Ostlund: Out again Saturday
Ostlund (upper body) won't play Saturday versus the Capitals, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.
Ostlund will miss his fifth straight game. The Sabres clinched a playoff spot earlier Saturday, so they won't have any need to rush Ostlund back at this point. The 22-year-old's next chance to play is Monday versus the Lightning, but the Sabres haven't provided a clear timeline for his return.
