Glass scored twice on four shots, added an assist and blocked two shots in Friday's 5-4 win over the Canucks.

Glass and Lenni Hameenaho connected well to provide the Devils with ample depth scoring in this contest. Over the last seven games, Glass has six goals and three assists, as well as 19 shots on net and a plus-5 rating. The 26-year-old center is up to 13 goals, 18 points, 72 shots on net, 29 hits, 21 blocked shots, 23 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 40 appearances. He's worth streaming in fantasy as long as his offense stays hot.

Markstrom stopped 21 of 25 shots in Friday's 5-4 win over the Canucks.

Markstrom came away with his fourth win in his last five outings. His last two victories have been against two of his former teams, though the Canucks did a bit of damage with a comeback effort that fell short Friday. Markstrom improved to 14-11-1 with a 3.30 GAA and an .880 save percentage over 27 appearances. The Devils wrap up this road trip with a matinee game in Seattle on Sunday.

Barre-Boulet scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Colorado's 4-1 win over Bakersfield on Friday.

Barre-Boulet recently got a game with the Avalanche, but it didn't lead to a long-term stay with the big club. He's at least gotten himself on the radar with 13 goals and 40 points over 38 outings at the AHL level. The Avalanche have utilized a number of depth forwards for spot games here and there when injuries are a problem for the team.

Brunicke scored twice and added an assist in WHL Kamloops' 7-2 win over Wenatchee on Friday.

Since rejoining Kamloops after the World Junior Championship, Brunicke has six points over three contests. The Penguins prospect had one goal in nine NHL games this season, but Pittsburgh opted not to burn the first year of his entry-level contract. He'll close out 2025-26 in the WHL, but he might grab an NHL job in 2026-27.

Lafreniere scored a goal and added two assists in WHL Kamloops' 7-2 win over Wenatchee on Friday.

Lafreniere has two goals and eight assists during a six-game point streak. The Oilers prospect has been excellent this season, racking up 26 goals and 55 points over 42 appearances. He's one point shy of matching his total from 68 regular-season contests last year.

Chychrun is dealing with a bit of whiplash after a hit late in the third period of Friday's game versus the Flames, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Chychrun will be checked on Saturday ahead of the Capitals' game in Edmonton. The 27-year-old should be considered day-to-day at this time, and if he can't suit up, Declan Chisholm or Dylan McIlrath will take his place.

Groulx scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Toronto's 4-3 overtime loss to Springfield on Friday.

Groulx has been steady in the AHL lately with 12 goals and six assists over his last 17 games. For the season, the 25-year-old forward has a career-high 19 goals in 39 outings. He's added 14 assists and 89 shots on net. Groulx's strong performance with the Marlies hasn't led to an NHL call-up yet, and since he's on a two-year contract, he won't be able to immediately cash in on what's likely to be his best AHL campaign.

Levi logged a 23-save shutout in AHL Rochester's 3-0 win over Utica on Friday.

Levi's last two wins have come via shutout, and he has three shutouts this season. He's up to a 14-7-6 record with a 2.75 GAA and a .906 save percentage over 27 outings. The Sabres still have three goalies at the NHL level, so Levi's path to the big club is blocked this season.

Dorwart scored twice in AHL Lehigh Valley's 8-5 loss to Charlotte on Friday.

Dorwart snapped a five-game slump with one of his best outings this season. The 23-year-old hasn't made much of an impression yet with seven goals and five assists over 38 outings. An unsigned free agent inked to a two-year deal coming out of Michigan State University last year, Dorwart's long-term NHL prospects are murky at best if he can't find a stronger scoring touch in the AHL.

McGroarty registered three assists in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 4-3 shootout win over Hershey on Friday.

McGroarty was dealing with a concussion earlier in January, but he returned to the AHL on Sunday. He's earned four assists over three games since rejoining the Baby Penguins. He's at 11 points and 23 shots on net over eight appearances at the AHL level. He doesn't have a lot to prove with the minor-league team, but the Penguins may let him get an extended run before bringing him back up to the NHL in what's been an injury-plagued season for the young winger.
