Avalanche's Martin Necas: Good to go
Necas (lower body) will be available to play against Canada on Thursday at the 2026 Winter Olympics, per Dominik Dubovci of hokej.cz.
Necas skated on Czechia's top line alongside David Pastrnak and Tomas Hertl during Sunday's practice. The 27-year-old Necas missed Colorado's final three games before the Olympic break, but he will be good to go for the start of the tournament. He has amassed 22 goals, 62 points, 124 shots on net and 57 hits across 52 NHL appearances this season.

Flyers' Jett Luchanko: Goal, assist in OHL win
Luchanko scored a goal and added an assist in OHL Brantford's 5-2 win over Kingston on Sunday.
Luchanko's scoring pace has dropped since he was traded to the Bulldogs. He posted 17 points (two goals, 15 assists) in 11 games with Guelph before the trade, but he's picked up just four goals and 11 helpers over 19 contests with Brantford. That puts him at 31 points in 30 appearances, down from his 1.22 points per game pace in the 2024-25 regular season. Luchanko still has time to find a groove for his production, though he'll likely be doing so in the AHL in 2026-27.

Jack Hughes C | NJ
Devils' Jack Hughes: Ready to rock
Hughes (lower body) will be available to play for the United States against Latvia on Thursday, Bill Price of NHL.com reports.
Hughes missed New Jersey's final three games before the break, but he will be good to go for the beginning of the 2026 Winter Olympics. He was a full participant in Sunday's practice and feels fine to return to action. Hughes has compiled 12 goals, 36 points and 127 shots on net through 36 NHL outings this season.

Raphael Lavoie C | LV
Golden Knights' Raphael Lavoie: Two goals in AHL overtime loss
Lavoie scored twice in AHL Henderson's 4-3 overtime loss to Coachella Valley on Saturday.
Lavoie has earned four points over three games since returning from missing about two and a half months. The forward has been productive when healthy with nine goals, nine assists and 75 shots on net in 17 appearances this season. He has come up empty on offense in 16 career NHL outings, but if he continues to play well, he could get a look with the Golden Knights later in the season.

Logan Morrison C | SEA
Kraken's Logan Morrison: Big game Saturday
Morrison scored twice and added two assists in AHL Coachella Valley's 4-3 overtime win over Henderson on Saturday.
Morrison put himself back over the point-per-game mark and set a career high in points with this effort. The 23-year-old is up to 23 goals, 46 points, 107 shots on net and a plus-19 rating over 45 appearances this season. He's earned at least 40 points in each of his first three AHL campaigns, but he's set to take his game to a much higher level in 2025-26.

Kevin Rooney C | UTA
Mammoth's Kevin Rooney: Collects three points for Tucson
Rooney scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Tucson's 6-5 overtime win over Calgary on Saturday.
Rooney's been a regular to move between leagues this season, leaving him little chance for momentum at either level. He's up to 14 points, 41 shots on net and a plus-4 rating through 24 appearances for the Roadrunners. He has a goal in his lone game for the Mammoth, but he has often been a healthy scratch when in the NHL.

Mason Shaw C | WPG
Jets' Mason Shaw: Nets two goals in AHL loss
Shaw scored twice in AHL Manitoba's 4-3 loss to Texas on Saturday.
Shaw reached the 30-point mark on the season with this effort. He's now at 15 goals, 15 assists and a plus-11 rating through 41 appearances. He's earned six goals and two assists during his seven-game point streak.

Braeden Cootes C | VAN
Canucks' Braeden Cootes: Three more points Saturday
Cootes scored a goal and added two assists in WHL Prince Albert's 5-2 win over Brandon on Saturday.
Cootes is finding a rhythm now -- he's scored in four straight games and has a total of 16 points over his last nine contests. The Canucks prospect is up to 18 goals, 45 points and a plus-16 rating through 32 WHL appearances between Prince Albert and Seattle this season.

Liam Foudy C | NYI
Islanders' Liam Foudy: Hat trick in AHL win
Foudy scored three goals in AHL Bridgeport's 5-1 win over Lehigh Valley on Saturday.
Foudy recorded a 10-game point streak from Jan. 10 to Feb. 1. He then went two contests without a point before erupting for the hat trick Saturday. He's been a steady scorer so far with 17 goals and 10 assists over 34 appearances in his second year with Bridgeport.

Benoit-Olivier Groulx C | TOR
Maple Leafs' Benoit-Olivier Groulx: Three points in Marlies' win
Groulx scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Toronto's 5-1 win over Springfield on Saturday.
Groulx continues to pile up points, though Saturday's effort ended his first multi-game slump since late November. The forward has 21 goals, 18 assists, 100 shots on net and a plus-9 rating over 44 outings. The 26-year-old could be a candidate for a call-up if the Maple Leafs succeed at trading away some veteran forwards closer to the deadline.
