Robidas scored two goals and added two assists in AHL Chicago's 6-5 shootout loss to Rockford on Sunday.

Robidas has six goals and three assists over his last four games. He's been pretty good all season, but this is another level for the forward. He's now at 19 goals, 34 points, 109 shots on net and a plus-21 rating through 33 appearances. If Robidas keeps it up, he could earn a call-up the next time the Hurricanes need a forward.

Legare scored twice in AHL Utica's 5-4 shootout loss to Belleville on Sunday.

Legare had gone 11 games without a point at the AHL level, a span that also included an NHL call-up but no game action with the Devils. The winger has been limited to five goals, two assists, 45 shots on net, 49 PIM and a minus-10 rating over 31 appearances this season with Utica.

Brown logged three assists in AHL Providence's 6-2 win over Cleveland on Sunday.

Brown's offense isn't slowing down this season. He's up to 13 goals and 26 helpers over 36 appearances, putting him just seven points shy of matching his regular-season output from 56 contests last year. He's actually cooled off slightly with just one goal and four helpers over his last six outings. Brown doesn't yet appear to be in the mix for a call-up, but he's certainly done enough to receive consideration if the Bruins need a fourth-line forward.

Brunet scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Providence's 6-2 win over Cleveland on Sunday.

Brunet reached the 20-point mark with this performance, doing so in 36 games this season. He has earned six of those points over his last seven outings. Brunet is five points back of his total from 69 regular-season contests last season, and if he continues his strong play, the 22-year-old could play himself into a call-up.

Sillinger scored twice in AHL Cleveland's 6-2 loss to Providence on Sunday.

Sillinger earned his first multi-goal game of the season, which was just his second multi-point effort. The 28-year-old has struggled a bit this year with five goals and 16 points over 33 appearances for the Monsters. He peaked at 40 points in 69 regular-season contests in 2023-24, but Sillinger would need to make a massive improvement to reach that level in 2025-26.

Tomkins posted a 33-save shutout in AHL Bakersfield's 1-0 overtime win over Calgary on Sunday.

Tomkins earned his second shutout of the AHL campaign, which is the sixth shutout of his career. Tomkins has gone 11-5-4 with a 3.10 GAA and a .901 save percentage over 21 appearances. He's won four of his last six outings as well, and he'll likely see a starting role while Connor Ingram remains in the NHL.

Patera was recalled from AHL Abbotsford under emergency conditions Sunday.

Patera will swap places with Nikita Tolopilo, who was sent down to Abbotsford after a poor outing Saturday versus the Oilers. In the NHL this season, Patera has lost his only appearance, allowing seven goals on 40 shots in an 8-5 loss to the Panthers on Nov. 17. He's gone 7-6-2 with a 2.49 GAA and a .915 save percentage over 16 outings in the AHL.

Pettersson was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Sunday.

Pettersson will rejoin the NHL club after spending the past week in the minors. He's made 38 appearances for Vancouver this year, recording a goal, five assists, 64 hits, 42 blocked shots and 12 PIM while averaging 13:40 of ice time.

Tolopilo was reassigned to AHL Abbotsford on Sunday.

Tolopilo allowed six goals in Saturday's loss to the Oilers, and the Canucks decided to swap out goalies a day later. Tolopilo will head to Abbotsford while Jiri Patera was called up under emergency conditions to back up Kevin Lankinen moving forward until Thatcher Demko (lower body) is healthy again. Tolopilo will see more consistent playing time with the AHL club.

Mancini was assigned to AHL Abbotsford on Sunday.

Mancini spent the past week with the NHL club and appeared in four games during that time, recording no points, seven blocked shots, a hit and a minus-3 rating while averaging 16:32 of ice time. He'll head back to the minors after Elias Pettersson was called up in a corresponding move.
