Sabres' Alex Lyon: Sixteenth win in last 18 games
Lyon made 16 saves in a 3-2 shootout win over Toronto on Saturday.
Lyon has won five games in a row, and he's 16-2-0 in his last 18 appearances. He has a 19-8-3 record with a 2.62 GAA, a .913 save percentage and two shutouts this season. Lyon has been superb, but he will probably continue to rotate starts with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen down the stretch.

Blackhawks' Dominic Toninato: Logs three points for Rockford
Toninato scored two goals and added an assist in AHL Rockford's 4-3 overtime win over Iowa on Saturday.

Sabres' Owen Power: Equals career mark in goals
Power scored a goal in a 3-2 shootout win over Toronto on Saturday.
Power is on a modest three-game, three-point scoring streak (one goal, two assists), and he has seven points (three goals, four assists) in his last eight outings. Power doesn't get power-play opportunities, and that has curtailed his offensive output. Overall, he has 24 points (seven goals, 17 assists) in 66 games after delivering 40 points, including 33 assists, in 79 appearances in the 2024-25 regular season. Power's seven goals this campaign equal his career mark.

Jack Quinn RW | BUF
Sabres' Jack Quinn: Clutch performance in win
Quinn scored a goal in regulation and also delivered the shootout winner in a 3-2 victory over the Maple Leafs on Saturday.
Quinn's goal came on the power play; it tied the game 2-2. He has four goals, two assists and 12 shots in his last five outings, bringing him up to 44 points (15 goals, 24 assists) and 144 shots in 67 games this season. Quinn's roles on the second line and second power-play unit have helped him deliver a new career mark in points.

Carter Yakemchuk D | OTT
Senators' Carter Yakemchuk: Produces four assists
Yakemchuk recorded four assists in AHL Belleville's 6-3 win over Hershey on Saturday.
Yakemchuk is up to 33 points, 93 shots on net and a minus-30 rating over 46 appearances this season. He has two goals and six assists over his last five outings. Yakemchuk is still rounding out his overall game, so he may need to start 2026-27 in the AHL before pushing for an NHL job.

Lukas Reichel LW | BOS
Bruins' Lukas Reichel: Trio of helpers Saturday
Reichel logged three assists in AHL Providence's 7-0 win over Hartford on Saturday.
Reichel was acquired by the Bruins at the trade deadline. He's produced five points in two outings for Providence since the start. He's earned 18 points in 25 contests in the AHL as well as five points in 19 NHL games between Vancouver and Chicago in a season that's seen him dealt twice. Reichel is still just 23 years old, but he has yet to cement his status as a full-time NHL player despite plenty of opportunities.

Victor Soderstrom D | BOS
Bruins' Victor Soderstrom: Tallies twice in AHL blowout win
Soderstrom scored two goals in AHL Providence's 7-0 win over Hartford on Saturday.
Soderstrom has seven goals and 17 assists over 45 appearances in the AHL this season. He also logged one helper in eight NHL outings. The Bruins don't appear to have room for him in the NHL, as they're already carrying eight healthy blueliners.

Michael DiPietro G | BOS
Bruins' Michael DiPietro: Cruises to AHL shutout
DiPietro recorded a 13-save shutout in AHL Providence's 7-0 win over Hartford on Saturday.
DiPietro was barely tested in the blowout win. This was his second shutout of the season and the 11th of his AHL career. The 26-year-old goalie is 28-6-0 with a 1.80 GAA and a .936 save percentage over 36 appearances this season, which is his best in the AHL yet.

Alexis Cournoyer G | MON
Canadiens' Alexis Cournoyer: Shuts out Harvard
Cournoyer posted a 16-save shutout in Cornell University's 4-0 win over Harvard University on Saturday.
This was Cournoyer's first shutout in his NCAA career. While he hasn't racked up shutouts, he has a stellar 17-8-0 record with a 1.93 GAA and a .919 save percentage over 25 starts this season. The Canadiens prospect has looked good, but he will still need more development time beyond this season.

Zemgus Girgensons C | TB
Lightning's Zemgus Girgensons: Leaves Saturday's game
Girgensons (undisclosed) left Saturday's game versus the Hurricanes in the second period, and head coach Jon Cooper didn't have an update on the forward's status after the contest, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.
Girgensons' status for the Lightning's upcoming road trip, which begins Tuesday in Seattle, is up in the air until an update is provided. The Lightning could dress seven defensemen or put Scott Sabourin in the lineup if Girgensons misses time.
