Sergachev notched two assists, five shots on goal, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-2 win over the Wild.

This was his first multi-point effort since Jan. 24, when he had three helpers versus the Predators. Sergachev's first assist was on Logan Cooley's shorthanded tally, and he also set up a Barrett Hayton power-play marker in the third period. Sergachev is up to 41 points (nine goals, 32 helpers), including 17 on the power play and two while shorthanded. He's added 122 shots on net, 97 blocked shots, 28 hits and a plus-3 rating over 59 appearances in a top-pairing role.

Pickford scored a goal and added an assist in WHL Medicine Hat's 3-2 win over Calgary on Friday.

Pickford has earned seven points over four games since he returned from a month-long absence. The 19-year-old defenseman is up to 36 goals and 69 points through 46 appearances this season. The Montreal prospect will still need to translate this production to higher levels, but his stock has risen significantly with his high-scoring totals this year.

Reinbacher notched three assists in AHL Laval's 9-3 win over Rochester on Friday.

Reinbacher went two months between multi-point efforts. He has five assists over his last nine contests. The 2023 first-round pick has a bright future, but he has yet to display a consistent scoring touch. He has 19 points and a plus-13 rating over 42 appearances in his first full AHL campaign after a knee injury cost him most of 2024-25.

Reid registered three assists in OHL Kitchener's 8-2 win over Brampton on Friday.

Reid went five games without a point earlier in February, but he's earned six assists over his last three outings. For the season, the defenseman is at 12 goals and 37 assists through 49 contests. Reid is five points shy of his total from the 2024-25 regular season, when he played in 67 games.

Huang scored a goal and added three assists in QMJHL Chicoutimi's 13-1 win over Drummondville on Friday.

Huang reached the 60-point mark with this performance, and he also has a career-best nine goals so far. The Nashville prospect remains a bit assist-heavy in his production, but he's taken a massive step up from his 40-point effort in 64 regular-season outings last year. Huang was selected 122nd overall in 2025.

Balinskis (undisclosed) was injured versus the Sabres on Friday, and there was no update on his status after the contest, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

Balinskis initially returned after a trip to the locker room in the first period, but he didn't come back out for the middle frame. The 29-year-old defenseman can be considered day-to-day for now. Tobias Bjornfot would likely draw into the lineup if Balinskis can't suit up Sunday against the Islanders.

Myers (not injury related) isn't expected to play Saturday against Seattle, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Myers will travel with the Canucks ahead of Saturday's matchup after skating on his own Friday, but he isn't expected to be in the lineup against Seattle. The 36-year-old has been held out for trade-related reasons recently, and it's not yet clear when he'll return to game action.

Faulk logged two assists, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.

Faulk has been distributing apples well lately, earning 10 assists over his last nine outings. The 33-year-old defenseman is having a strong year overall with 32 points -- matching his total from last season -- in 58 appearances. He's added 44 hits, 99 blocked shots, 112 shots on net, 30 PIM and a minus-1 rating in a top-four role.

Mukhamadullin (personal) was not at practice Friday, according to Max Miller of NHL.com.

Mukhamadullin was scratched Thursday versus Calgary in the Sharks' first game back after the Olympic break. He has three goals and four assists in 26 games this season while averaging 16:15 of ice time. He should be considered questionable against Edmonton on Saturday.

Myers (not injury related) will join the Canucks on the road against Seattle on Saturday, Farhan Lalji of TSN reports.

Myers, who was held out for trade purposes against the Jets on Wednesday, is far from a lock to play Saturday, but this could be an indication that a trade deal fell through or that he has decided not to waive his no-movement clause. The 36-year-old blueliner is currently mired in a 21-game pointless streak, which probably isn't helping his value on the trade market.
