    Jets' Colin Miller: Gets assist in win

    Miller notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Friday's 5-1 win over the Kings.

    Miller has played in four of the Jets' last nine games. He could be in line for additional playing time as long as both Haydn Fleury (upper body) and Neal Pionk (foot) are sidelined. Miller's helper was his first point in 14 outings this season, and the 33-year-old defenseman has added 16 shots on net, 25 hits, 10 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating.

  • Jets' Dylan Samberg: Contributes assist in win

    Samberg logged an assist, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-1 win over the Kings.

    Samberg ended a 12-game point drought with the helper. The 26-year-old defenseman's recent struggles came during an 11-game winless stretch for the Jets, so he's far from alone in terms of slumping players on the roster. The blueliner plays more of a physical game anyway, earning six helpers with 23 hits, 49 blocked shots, 36 shots on net and a plus-1 rating over 27 outings this season.

  • Canadiens' Bryce Pickford: Five more points for Tigers

    Pickford had a hat trick on eight shots and added two assists in WHL Medicine Hat's 8-3 win over Seattle on Friday.

    This game saw the WHL's top two goal scorers go to battle, with Pickford getting the better of Stars prospect and Thunderbirds winger Cameron Schmidt. With the hat trick, Pickford now has 31 goals on the season to lead the WHL, and his 58 points through 37 games places him fourth in the league. His offense has taken a massive leap while playing for a top team, and if he can play passable defense, he has appeal as a power-play specialist in the pro ranks as soon as next season. Pickford will likely need some time with AHL Laval, and the Canadiens won't rush him to the NHL since they've already got Lane Hutson and Noah Dobson in place on their blue line.

  • Capitals' Martin Fehervary: Two more helpers in win

    Fehervary notched two assists, two PIM and a plus-4 rating in Friday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.

    Fehervary has earned a pair of two-assist games over his last three outings. Those efforts account for two of his three multi-point games this season. The stalwart blueliner is up to three goals, 13 helpers, 51 shots on net, 54 hits, 91 blocked shots, 21 PIM and a plus-15 rating over 45 appearances. Fehervary had a career-best 25 points in 81 regular-season contests last year, but he's on pace to top that mark in 2025-26.

  • John Carlson D | ANA

    Capitals' John Carlson: Supplies two assists

    Carlson logged two assists and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.

    Carlson has racked up a goal and four assists over his last three outings to bounce back from a five-game slump. The defenseman had a hand in goals by Anthony Beauvillier and Ethen Frank in the first period as the Capitals leaned on their depth to establish an early lead. Carlson is up to 34 points (nine goals, 25 helpers) with 80 shots on net, 59 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating across 41 appearances in 2025-26.

  • Islanders' Kashawn Aitcheson: Two goals for Colts

    Aitcheson scored twice in OHL Barrie's 6-3 win over Guelph on Friday.

    Aitcheson was a bit limited for Canada at the World Junior Championship, helping the team to earn the bronze medal with a goal and three assists over seven games. The small sample at the tournament shouldn't override what he's done in league play, earning 21 goals and 34 points through 28 outings. Even with the time away for the WJC, Aitcheson is on track for a career year with the Colts.

  • Blackhawks' Louis Crevier: Under the weather

    Crevier (illness) won't play Friday versus the Capitals, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.

    Crevier is one of four players unable to suit up for this contest. Kevin Korchinski, who was called up from AHL Rockford on Friday, will enter the lineup. Crevier's status for Saturday's game in Nashville is not yet decided.

  • Neal Pionk D | WPG

    Jets' Neal Pionk: Absent from lineup Friday

    Pionk (foot) is not playing Friday versus the Kings, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.

    Pionk blocked a shot off his foot in the Jets' last game and is apparently not fit enough to play. Colin Miller will come into the lineup to replace him, while Dylan DeMelo should see a bump in ice time to cover Pionk's absence.

  • Zac Jones D | BUF

    Sabres' Zac Jones: Heads to minors

    Jones was loaned to AHL Rochester on Friday.

    Jones was recalled to Buffalo on Tuesday, but he didn't play for the Sabres during his brief stint with the team. The 25-year-old defenseman has two goals and 30 points in 27 outings with Rochester in 2025-26.

  • Sharks' John Klingberg: Might return Sunday

    Klingberg (lower body) won't be an option versus the Stars on Saturday but could suit up in Sunday's clash with Vegas, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

    Klingberg will miss his fourth straight game due to his lower-body problem, but he appears to be nearing his return to action. In six games prior to getting hurt, the 33-year-old Swede managed just one point to go with 12 shots, eight blocks and three hits. Even once cleared to play, fantasy managers will need to take a cautious approach to utilizing Klingberg given his streaky offensive performance this year.
