  • Radek Faksa C | DAL

    Stars' Radek Faksa: Will remain sidelined Wednesday

    Faksa (upper body) will not be an option for Czechia's quarterfinals matchup versus Canada on Wednesday in the 2026 Winter Olympics, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

    Faksa will remain unavailable for a second straight game -- he missed Tuesday's 3-2 win over Denmark in the qualifying round. Barring a miraculous upset over the Canadians, Faksa won't be in action until at least Feb. 25, when the Stars resume play against the Kraken.

  • James Hagens C | BOS

    Bruins' James Hagens: Honored by Hockey East

    Hagens was named the Hockey East Player of the Week on Tuesday.

    Hagens had two goals and three assists over three games. He was also named the Beanpot MVP after lifting Boston College to the title of that tournament in a win over Boston University. Hagens is up to 34 points in 26 appearances this season, three shy of matching his 37-game point output from 2024-25.

  • Red Wings' Sheldon Dries: Summoned from AHL

    Dries was recalled from AHL Grand Rapids on Tuesday under emergency conditions.

    Dries has produced 17 goals and 33 points in 39 minor-league appearances this campaign. He hasn't seen any NHL action yet this season and could return to the AHL before Detroit visits Ottawa on Feb. 26.

  • Panthers' Anton Lundell: Good to go

    Lundell (illness) participated in Tuesday's practice and will be ready for Finland's quarterfinal matchup against Switzerland on Wednesday at the 2026 Winter Olympics, according to Jaakko Perttila of Leijonat.com.

    Lundell sat out Saturday's 11-0 win over Italy after coming down with the norovirus. He has registered one goal in two games for Finland at the tournament.

  • Rangers' Brendan Brisson: Recalled from AHL

    Brisson was recalled from AHL Hartford on Tuesday.

    Brisson has yet to make his debut with the Rangers since signing a one-year deal with the team in the offseason. The 2020 first-round selection (No. 29 overall) in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft has accounted for 13 goals, 10 helpers, 38 PIM and a minus-21 rating over 46 outings with the Wolf Pack in 2025-26.

  • Radek Faksa C | DAL

    Stars' Radek Faksa: Won't suit up for Czechia

    Faksa (upper body) is not available for Czechia against Denmark in Tuesday's qualification matchup at the 2026 Winter Olympics, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

    Faksa was deemed questionable Monday after sustaining his upper-body injury during Sunday's 4-3 loss to Switzerland. If the Czechs emerge victorious Tuesday, it's a possibility Faksa will battle through his injury and suit up versus the Canadians on Wednesday in the quarterfinals.

  • Jan Chovan C | LA

    Kings' Jan Chovan: Hat trick, assist in OHL win

    Chovan scored three goals and added an assist in OHL Sudbury's 6-2 win over Niagara on Monday.

A sixth-round pick in 2025, Chovan has made a good first impression in North America after putting up decent numbers in the Finnish junior system.

  • Ty Mueller C | VAN

    Canucks' Ty Mueller: Logs three points in AHL win

    Mueller scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Abbotsford's 5-3 win over Ontario on Monday.

    Mueller is up to 26 points in 44 contests this season, a pace nearly identical to the 39 points he had in 64 regular-season outings in 2024-25. The 22-year-old forward has picked up six points over his last four games. Mueller's played well recently, but he's still awaiting his first call-up of the campaign.

  • Rory Kerins C | CGY

    Flames' Rory Kerins: Tallies twice in AHL shootout win

    Kerins scored two goals in AHL Calgary's 3-2 shootout win over Manitoba on Monday.

    Kerins had gone 11 games without a goal over a month-long span, but he has three tallies over his last three outings. For the season, he's up to 16 goals, 39 points and a minus-17 rating across 46 AHL appearances. He has failed to record a point in two NHL contests this season.
