  • Jets' Elias Salomonsson: Scores for first NHL goal, point

    Salomonsson scored a goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Ducks.

    Injuries to multiple defensemen have left the Jets thin on the blue line. That will allow Salomonsson to get some on-the-job training as the Jets navigate the last quarter or so of the campaign. His tally at 1:27 of the third period put the Jets ahead 3-1, but it wasn't enough. Through 15 NHL contests, he's posted 21 shots on net, 16 hits, 14 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating in a bottom-four role.

    Ducks' Jacob Trouba: Finds twine to start comeback

    Trouba scored a goal on three shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Jets.

    Trouba has two goals and three assists over four outings in February. He got the Ducks on the board in the last minute of the second period, setting the stage for their comeback rally in the third. The 32-year-old defenseman is up to 10 goals, 27 points, 117 shots on net, 105 hits, 112 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 57 appearances. This is just the third time in his 13-year career that he's reached double digits in goals.

  • Ducks' Pavel Mintyukov: One of each Friday

    Mintyukov scored a goal, dished an assist and added two PIM in Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Jets.

    Mintyukov tied the game at 3-3 midway through the third period and helped out on a Ryan Poehling goal later in the frame. Prior to Friday, Mintyukov had been limited to one assist over his last six games. He's listed on the third pairing currently, but he's seen more than 20 minutes of ice time in four of his last five contests. The blueliner has seven goals, 17 points, 52 shots on net, 77 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating across 53 appearances.

  • Mammoth's Mikhail Sergachev: Collects pair of helpers

    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.

  • Canadiens' Bryce Pickford: One of each Friday

    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.

  • Canadiens' David Reinbacher: Three assists in AHL win

    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.

  • Cameron Reid D | NSH

    Predators' Cameron Reid: Trio of assists in OHL win

    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.

  • Alex Huang D | NSH

    Predators' Alex Huang: Adds four points

    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.

  • Panthers' Uvis Balinskis: Hurt in Friday's game

    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.

  • Tyler Myers D | DAL

    Canucks' Tyler Myers: Not expected to play Saturday

    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.
