NHL Player News

Coghlan was assigned to AHL Henderson on Thursday.

Coghlan made his third appearance of the season for the Golden Knights on Wednesday, and he recorded a shot on goal and a plus-2 rating in 15:15 of ice time while several of the team's players were unavailable following the Olympics. However, Coghlan will now head back to the Silver Knights, which signals that most, or all, of the team's Olympic participants will join Vegas ahead of Friday's game against the Capitals.

Sorokin will defend the road crease against Montreal on Thursday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Sorokin was in the starter's crease during Thursday's morning skate, and he'll officially tend the twine during the Islanders' first game following the Olympic break. Across his last five starts, he's gone 4-1-0 with a 2.01 GAA and .930 save percentage.

Fox (lower body) will be in the lineup against the Flyers on Thursday, Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic reports.

Fox has appeared in just three of the Rangers' last 30 contests, spending two stints on long-term injured reserve due to his lower-body injury. In his 30 games this year, the 28-year-old blueliner has notched four goals and 24 assists. Now that he's back to 100 percent, Fox should continue to produce at a high level, including with the Rangers' No. 1 power-play unit.

Sheary (lower body) is available for Thursday's game against the Flyers, Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic reports.

Sheary was placed on long-term injured reserve at the start of January, but he's been cleared to return to action in the Rangers' first game following the Olympic break. Across 37 appearances this year, he's recorded a goal, eight assists, 25 blocked shots and 17 hits while averaging 14:35 of ice time.

Guenther scored two goals, including one on the power play, in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Guenther scored a goal in the Mammoth's last game before the break, and he continues to consistently deliver for Utah. The 22-year-old forward is on pace to eclipse his career-best mark of 60 points, established in 2024-25, if he stays healthy. He's up to 49 points (27 goals, 22 assists) in 56 games in 2025-26.

Kelly recorded a goal and an assist in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Mammoth.

Kelly was one of two Colorado players who delivered a multi-point performance in this win, with Martin Necas being the other, and the 26-year-old Kelly continues to thrive in what has been the best season of his NHL career. Kelly, who has five goals and seven points over his last 10 appearances despite holding a bottom-six role, has eclipsed the 20-point threshold for the first time in his career. He's up to 23 points (13 goals, 10 assists) this season, and he's one helper away from matching his career-best output in assists.

Necas registered a power-play goal and an even-strength assist in Wednesday's 4-2 win over Utah.

Necas missed the Avs' last three games before the break, but since he suited up for Czechia in the 2026 Winter Olympics, he seemed likely to return to the lineup against Utah. Necas also managed to snap a six-game stretch without a goal, as the last time he had scored came in a 7-3 loss to Nashville on Jan. 16. Necas should remain productive now that he's healthy and ready to resume his first-line duties alongside Nathan MacKinnon and Gabriel Landeskog.

Duchene recorded an even-strength goal and a power-play assist in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Kraken.

Duchene picked things up right where he left them before the break and posted another multi-point effort, his third consecutive outing with two points. He's riding an impressive seven-game point streak, a stretch in which he's racked up 11 points (seven goals, four assists) and 14 shots on goal.

Johnston scored two goals, including one on the power play, in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Kraken.

Johnston broke the deadlock for the Stars in the latter stages of the first period with a tip-in, and he made it a 4-0 game with a power-play tally at the 6:14 mark of the second frame. Johnston is up to 31 goals on the season, and he's scored 19 of those with the man advantage. The star winger leads the NHL in power-play goals and is tied for eighth in goals overall.

Saros will be a game-time call ahead of Thursday's home clash with Chicago, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Saros is currently second in the NHL in starts with 44, behind Utah's Karel Vejmelka (45). In his last five outings, the 30-year-old netminder is 1-1-2 with a 4.75 GAA. If Saros doesn't get the start Thursday, Justus Annunen figures to be pressed into service for the Preds.
