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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It's unclear if Jiricek will get a look on the Flyers' blue line before the end of the season, but he should be in contention for a spot on the Opening Night roster for 2026-27.
