NHL Player News

Lettieri scored twice and added an assist in AHL Toronto's 3-2 win over Iowa.

Lettieri has gotten on the scoresheet in 11 of his last 12 games, earning five goals and 11 assists in that span. The veteran forward is at 28 points (eight goals, 20 helpers) through 33 outings with the Marlies this season. While he's a little lacking in goals, shooting just 9.8 percent so far, he's been productive enough to potentially be an option for a call-up if the Maple Leafs' forward group gets thinned out by injuries.

Chmelar scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Hartford's 4-3 win over Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Friday.

Chmelar has six points over his last four games. He's up to six goals and 19 points through 30 appearances this season, putting him 10 points shy of matching his 29-point total in 71 regular-season contests a year ago. Chmelar has logged six NHL games this season but has yet to earn his first point for the Rangers.

Berard scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Hartford's 4-3 win over Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Friday.

Berard has four goals and three assists during his four-game point streak, which is turning things around for him at the AHL level. He's added 20 shots in that span. The 23-year-old forward is up to six goals, 16 points and a minus-13 rating over 25 appearances for the Wolf Pack this season.

Rosen scored three goals in AHL Rochester's 5-4 overtime loss to Belleville on Friday.

Rosen has six goals and one assist over seven games since he was demoted to the AHL on Dec. 28. He's at 18 goals and 29 points over 22 appearances in the AHL this season. That's earned him some brief looks in the NHL, where he's earned seven points over 13 outings.

Ivan was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Friday.

Ivan played in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Predators but didn't record a point. The 23-year-old has shuffled between leagues frequently as the Avalanche look to accrue cap savings and also make sure young players continue to get plenty of ice time in the AHL. The Avalanche's next game is Monday versus the Capitals, so Ivan should have no trouble getting the necessary appearance with the Eagles before potentially getting another recall.

Lee notched two assists in Michigan State University's 4-1 win over the University of Wisconsin on Friday.

Lee is up to 18 points (eight goals, 10 assists) over 20 contests with the Spartans in his freshman year. He also represented Team USA at the World Junior Championship, earning two goals and an assist over five games at the tournament. Playing for a strong MSU team, Lee should have a productive second half of the NCAA campaign.

Gonchar scored a goal and added two assists in OHL Sudbury's 7-2 win over Flint on Friday.

Gonchar is up to 10 goals and 32 points, as well as a minus-14 rating, over 40 appearances this season. The defenseman's scoring potential for the rest of the season is up in the air, as Sudbury was a team that sold off players through trades in January, which may weaken the team's offense overall. Gonchar is still putting together a strong campaign on offense as he adjusts to North American hockey.

Chovan scored twice on seven shots in OHL Sudbury's 7-2 win over Flint on Friday.

This was Chovan's third multi-point effort in the last six games. He produced one goal in five World Junior Championship games with Slovakia. Chovan is at 10 goals and 24 points over 35 OHL outings this season, but he should continue to grow on offense after the Wolves made significant trades earlier in January.

Reid scored a goal and added two assists in OHL Kitchener's 7-4 win over Saginaw on Friday.

Reid earned his first points in three games since the World Junior Championship. With Canada, he was limited to one assist in seven tournament games. The Nashville prospect has had a fine year in the OHL with 10 goals, 22 helpers and a plus-16 rating through 31 appearances, which aligns with his projected path as a decent depth defenseman who can chip in secondary scoring.

Benak scored twice and added an assist in OHL Brantford's 4-3 win over Peterborough on Friday.

Benak has nine points over four games since rejoining the Bulldogs after the World Junior Championship. The forward is up to 21 goals, 52 points and a plus-25 rating over 30 appearances in the OHL this season. A fourth-round pick of the Wild in 2025, Benak's prospect stock has surged this season.
