Fiala (lower leg fracture) will be reevaluated at the end of the regular season, the Kings announced Sunday.

Fiala has not yet been ruled out of the playoffs, though the Kings are in a precarious position, sitting three points out of a playoff spot at the Olympic break. Fiala sustained a lower-leg fracture Friday in Switzerland's Olympic group-stage game versus Canada, and the injury required surgery. Expect the Kings to place Fiala on long-term injured reserve eventually to free up some cap space. Fantasy managers in redraft leagues can cut Fiala at this point since he won't be back before mid-April at the earliest.

Stone scored a shorthanded goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in Canada's 10-2 rout of France during Olympic round-robin play Sunday.

The Golden Knights winger gave Canada a 3-1 lead just before the first intermission, with his tally proving to be the game-winner, before having a hand in goals by Sidney Crosby in the second period and Macklin Celebrini in the third. Stone is having a strong tournament in his first Olympics, scoring two goals and four points in three games, and he'll look to add to those totals when Canada faces the winner of a Czechia-Denmark qualifying tilt in Wednesday's quarterfinal.

Gaunce scored the game-winning goal and added two assists in AHL Cleveland's 4-3 overtime win over Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Sunday.

Gaunce has four goals and four assists over eight outings with the Monsters since he was demoted from the Blue Jackets in late January. The veteran forward has 14 points in 19 appearances at the AHL level and another six points in 25 games at the NHL level. Should the Blue Jackets need forward depth after the Olympic break, Gaunce would likely be near the top of the list for a call-up.

McDavid scored a goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in Canada's 10-2 win over France in Olympic round-robin play Sunday.

McDavid wraps up the preliminary round at his first Olympics with two goals and nine points in just three games, putting him well out in front as the tournament's leading scorer -- nobody else has more than six points. The Oilers superstar will get a couple days of rest before Canada faces the winner of a Czechia-Denmark qualifying tilt in Wednesday's quarterfinal.

Crosby scored a goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in Canada's 10-2 rout of France in Olympic round-robin action Sunday.

The future Hall of Famer doubled his goal and point totals for the tournament, as Crosby set up tallies by Devon Toews in the first period and Cale Makar in the second before potting his own just before the second intermission. Crosby will get a couple days of rest before Canada faces the winner of a Czechia-Denmark qualifying tilt in Wednesday's quarterfinal.

McLaughlin scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Utica's 7-4 win over Rochester on Sunday.

McLaughlin was waived Feb. 11 and cleared a day later. This was his season debut at any level after missing the first four months of the campaign due to an undisclosed injury. McLaughlin had just 20 points in 50 regular-season contests between Utica and Providence last season, and he also earned three points in a career-high 14 NHL outings between Boston and New Jersey.

Halonen scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Utica's 7-4 win over Rochester on Sunday.

Halonen snapped a four-game slump, his longest of the season at the AHL level, with this performance. He's up to 15 goals, six assists and a plus-6 rating over 28 appearances. Even with time in the NHL this season, Halonen could still match his 40-point performance from 62 AHL games in the 2024-25 regular season.

Celebrini scored two goals, one on the power play and the other on a penalty shot, and added an even-strength assist in Canada's 10-2 win over France in Olympic round-robin action Sunday.

The 19-year-old phenom continues to make history in Milan. Celebrini became the first NHL player to ever score on a penalty shot in the Olympics when he beat Julian Junca late in the second period -- something Sidney Crosby failed to do on his attempt in 2010, and both Patrick Kane and Corey Perry whiffed on in 2014. Celebrini also now holds the Olympic record for most goals by a teenager with four in only three games, and he's tied Evgeni Malkin's record for most points by a teenager with six. The San Jose star will look to claim that record for himself in Canada's quarterfinal game Wednesday, against either Denmark or Czechia.

Edwards scored two goals in AHL Utica's 7-4 win over Rochester on Sunday.

Edwards has a pair of two-goal games this season, which is decent work for a defenseman. He's at a total of 16 points, 71 shots on net and a minus-10 rating over 42 appearances. Edwards has earned six goals and two helpers over his last 14 contests.

Crookshank scored twice in AHL Utica's 7-4 win over Rochester on Sunday.

Crookshank has five goals over his last 11 contests. While he's finishing at a fine rate, he has no assists in that span, and his offense has slowed down compared to January. The 26-year-old has a total of 13 goals and 19 points through 35 AHL outings this season, as well as one goal in eight NHL games for the Devils.
