Cihar scored twice in WHL Kelowna's 6-2 win over Kamloops in Game 4 on Wednesday.

Cihar produced six goals and four assists in the Rockets' 4-0 sweep over the Blazers. The Czech forward has been excellent in the playoffs so far, though his scoring pace will likely drop as the competition gets tighter. The Kings prospect will look to keep being a leader for Kelowna as they try to make a deep run in the WHL playoffs.

Lafreniere scored twice in WHL Kamloops' 6-2 loss to Kelowna in Game 4 on Wednesday.

Lafreniere's effort wasn't enough to keep the Blazers alive, as they went down in a 4-0 sweep to the Rockets. The winger had two goals and one assist over four playoff contests. He also produced 77 points (41 goals, 36 helpers) in 67 regular-season outings. The 19-year-old winger is committed to Western Michigan University for 2026-27.

Clang logged a 27-save shutout in AHL San Diego's 3-0 win over Tucson on Wednesday.

Clang has earned all three of his AHL shutouts this season. He's matched his career high with 32 appearances, posting a 16-8-6 record with a 2.75 GAA and an .896 save percentage. The Swedish netminder has done a fine job, but it would take an injury to Lukas Dostal or Ville Husso for Clang to get an NHL call-up.

Lee notched four assists in AHL Ontario's 7-0 win over Coachella Valley on Wednesday.

Lee had gone 11 games without a multi-point effort, earning three goals and one assist in that span. He's up to 25 goals, 47 points and a plus-15 rating over 59 appearances this season. Lee also had two points in seven NHL games earlier in the campaign.

Guttman scored three goals and added an assist in AHL Ontario's 7-0 win over Coachella Valley on Wednesday.

With the performance, Guttman has a career-best 24 goals over 62 outings in the AHL this year. He's up to 49 points and 142 shots on net. Prior to Wednesday, he had picked up just one goal and one assist over eight contests.

Copley posted a 23-save shutout in AHL Ontario's 7-0 win over Coachella Valley on Wednesday.

Copley wasn't all that busy in the lopsided contest. This was his first shutout in 32 appearances this season. He's up to 20-11-1 with a 2.64 GAA and an .899 save percentage, though he's 9-1-1 over his last 11 contests.

Gushchin scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Colorado's 5-2 win over Bakersfield on Wednesday.

Gushchin has eight points over his last four contests, rebounding nicely after a quiet start to March. The winger is up to 18 goals, 31 points and a plus-8 rating over 45 appearances this season. Gushchin's offense has been down a bit, but he's still an effective AHL scorer despite the drop.

Ivan scored twice and added an assist in AHL Colorado's 5-2 win over Bakersfield on Wednesday.

Ivan is up to nine goals and 23 points through 59 appearances. He's earned four points over his last two outings. As long as the Avalanche stay relatively healthy late in the season, Ivan is likely to stay in the AHL to close out 2025-26.

Tralmaks scored twice and added an assist in AHL Grand Rapids' 5-0 win over Rockford on Wednesday.

Tralmaks has produced 24 goals and 12 assists over 58 appearances in a bit of a breakout year with the Griffins. The Latvian forward has yet to make his NHL debut, and it's been tough to separate himself from the rest of Grand Rapids' strong forward group this year. He has six points over his last three contests.

Postava posted an 18-save shutout in AHL Grand Rapids' 5-0 win over Rockford on Wednesday.

Postava earned his third shutout of the campaign. He's up to 14-6-0 with a 1.77 GAA and a .935 save percentage, showing that he can keep pace with prospect goalie Sebastian Cossa. Postava was recently with the Red Wings as a backup while Cam Talbot (undisclosed) was ailing, but Postava still has some developing to do before challenging for an NHL job.
