Hebig scored twice on seven shots in AHL Tucson's 6-2 loss to Colorado on Friday.

Hebig has six goals and two assists over his last six games. Overall, he's at 13 points in as many games for the Roadrunners this season, representing a big step up from his breakthrough of 26 goals and 47 points in 67 regular-season outings last year. Hebig would likely peak as a bottom-six option should the Mammoth summon him to the NHL, but his scoring touch has improved as a late bloomer in the AHL.

Barkey scored two goals in AHL Lehigh Valley's 7-3 win over Springfield on Friday.

Barkey has six points over his last three games. Overall, he's at four goals and nine points through 13 outings. Barkey likely just needed some time to adjust to the professional ranks after playing in the OHL last year, but he's quickly getting up to speed with the Phantoms.

Hagens scored a goal on six shots and added an assist in Boston College's 7-3 win over UMass-Amherst on Friday.

Hagens has maintained his strong play from last year into a positive start to 2025-26, logging four goals and seven assists over 10 games. The Bruins' top prospect is in his sophomore year and should continue to be a massive part of the Eagles' roster at least for the rest of this campaign. It's unclear if the No. 7 pick from 2025 will sign his entry-level deal this spring or if he'll head back to school for another year of development.

McKinney scored a goal and added an assist in the University of Michigan's 7-1 win over Penn State on Friday.

McKinney is up to nine points over 13 games in his freshman year of college. The 18-year-old, a second-round pick of the Sharks in 2025, is settling in just fine with the Wolverines. He'll likely have a chance to play deep into the season, as Michigan has been one of the best teams in college this year with an 11-2-0 record.

McQueen scored twice on six shots and added an assist in Providence College's 6-1 win over Merrimack College on Friday.

The pair of goals were McQueen's first of the season. He's picked up eight points and 25 PIM through 10 contests to begin his collegiate career. The 19-year-old forward is a first-round pick (10th overall) of the Ducks in 2025, so it's good to see him hit the ground running on offense after stepping up from the WHL. McQueen has also stayed healthy so far this season after missing a large part of 2024-25 with a back injury. McQueen is a long-term project for fantasy -- expect him to use up multiple years in college, and he may need some AHL time before he's ready to help the Ducks.

Luchanko scored a goal and added three assists in OHL Guelph's 8-5 win over Windsor on Friday.

Luchanko has racked up two goals and eight assists over six games since the Flyers reassigned him to the Storm in late October. This was his best game of the season so far, but he should be a fairly regular presence on the scoresheet. Luchanko's continued strong play in the junior ranks will have him knocking on the door for an NHL job in 2026-27.

Dervin scored a goal and added an assist in OHL Kingston's 4-3 overtime win over Niagara on Friday.

Dervin was steady early in the season, but he had been limited to just two helpers over his previous five outings before Friday's stronger performance. The 18-year-old Canucks' prospect is at eight goals and 10 assists through 18 contests, but he can elevate his game a little more than he's shown so far. Dervin is expected to play just this one full season in the OHL before making the leap to Penn State next year.

Kyrou scored a goal on five shots and added an assist in Friday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Flyers.

Kyrou capitalized on a turnover just 1:19 into the game for the first goal, and he also set up a Dylan Holloway tally in the third. That's three points in three games for Kyrou since he was scratched for one contest, though the Blues have still lost twice since he sat out, which suggests head coach Jim Montgomery's message to the team as a whole hasn't fully gotten through. Kyrou is at six goals, 11 points, 43 shots on net and a minus-7 rating across 17 appearances, but he remains firmly in a top-six role.

Thomas scored a goal and added an assist in Friday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Flyers.

Thomas has five points over six games since he returned from an upper-body injury. The 26-year-old has had a somewhat slow start on offense this year, so it's encouraging to see his scoring pace improve a bit. He's at three goals, 11 points, 20 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating over 14 appearances this season.

Dvorak scored two goals, dished an assist, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Friday's 6-5 shootout win over the Blues.

Dvorak snapped a five-game goal drought at 7:17 of the second period and added another goal in the third to help the Flyers erase a second two-goal deficit. The 29-year-old has maintained steady middle-six minutes this season, but he's gotten more looks on offense than he did in Montreal in recent years. Dvorak is up to five goals, 12 points, 31 shots on net, a plus-5 rating and eight PIM over 17 appearances.
