NHL Player News

Marchand (undisclosed) will be good to go for Canada's opening game of the 2026 Winter Olympics against Czechia on Thursday, per Pierre LeBrun and Chris Johnston of The Athletic.

Marchand missed 10 of Florida's final 15 games before the Olympic break while nursing a lingering injury. He has accounted for 25 goals, 50 points and 127 shots on net in 46 NHL appearances this season. According to Mark Masters of TSN, Marchand skated on Canada's second line alongside Nathan MacKinnon and Nick Suzuki during Sunday's practice.

Rondbjerg (undisclosed) has been replaced by Team Denmark in the Olympics with Malte Setkov, the IIHF announced Sunday.

Rondbjerg missed the last two games entering the Olympic break with an undisclosed injury and was considered week-to-week. The injury is serious enough to keep him off Team Denmark's roster in the Olympics as well. The 26-year-old has one assist in four games on the season, as he has spent most of the year with AHL Henderson.

Ahcan notched three assists in AHL Colorado's 6-2 win over Chicago on Saturday.

Ahcan has eight assists during a five-game point streak. The defenseman is up to five goals, 32 points and a plus-20 rating over 34 outings this season. He's received some call-ups to the Avalanche in 2025-26 as well, earning two assists over nine contests. Ahcan has typically been the first blueliner to be recalled when the NHL roster is at less than full strength on defense.

Aamodt scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Colorado's 6-2 win over Chicago on Saturday.

Aamodt had gone 12 games without a goal, picking up just three assists in that span. The defenseman is now at three goals and a career-best 19 points in just 44 contests, which is progress despite his still-modest scoring numbers. Unless the Avalanche's defense gets severely depleted by injuries, Aamodt is likely to stay in the AHL.

Lavoie scored twice in AHL Henderson's 4-3 overtime loss to Coachella Valley on Saturday.

Lavoie has earned four points over three games since returning from missing about two and a half months. The forward has been productive when healthy with nine goals, nine assists and 75 shots on net in 17 appearances this season. He has come up empty on offense in 16 career NHL outings, but if he continues to play well, he could get a look with the Golden Knights later in the season.

Morrison scored twice and added two assists in AHL Coachella Valley's 4-3 overtime win over Henderson on Saturday.

Morrison put himself back over the point-per-game mark and set a career high in points with this effort. The 23-year-old is up to 23 goals, 46 points, 107 shots on net and a plus-19 rating over 45 appearances this season. He's earned at least 40 points in each of his first three AHL campaigns, but he's set to take his game to a much higher level in 2025-26.

Rooney scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Tucson's 6-5 overtime win over Calgary on Saturday.

Rooney's been a regular to move between leagues this season, leaving him little chance for momentum at either level. He's up to 14 points, 41 shots on net and a plus-4 rating through 24 appearances for the Roadrunners. He has a goal in his lone game for the Mammoth, but he has often been a healthy scratch when in the NHL.

Shaw scored twice in AHL Manitoba's 4-3 loss to Texas on Saturday.

Shaw reached the 30-point mark on the season with this effort. He's now at 15 goals, 15 assists and a plus-11 rating through 41 appearances. He's earned six goals and two assists during his seven-game point streak.

Cootes scored a goal and added two assists in WHL Prince Albert's 5-2 win over Brandon on Saturday.

Cootes is finding a rhythm now -- he's scored in four straight games and has a total of 16 points over his last nine contests. The Canucks prospect is up to 18 goals, 45 points and a plus-16 rating through 32 WHL appearances between Prince Albert and Seattle this season.

Chaffee scored two goals in AHL Syracuse's 5-2 win over Belleville on Saturday.

Chaffee moved above a point-per-game pace with this effort. He has 14 goals, 21 helpers, 87 shots and 35 PIM through 34 outings for the Crunch this season. He also saw seven contests with the Lightning to begin the campaign, but Chaffee hasn't seen the NHL ranks since he was waived Oct. 27.
