  • Canadiens' Alexis Cournoyer: Shuts out Harvard

    Cournoyer posted a 16-save shutout in Cornell University's 4-0 win over Harvard University on Saturday.

    This was Cournoyer's first shutout in his NCAA career. While he hasn't racked up shutouts, he has a stellar 17-8-0 record with a 1.93 GAA and a .919 save percentage over 25 starts this season. The Canadiens prospect has looked good, but he will still need more development time beyond this season.

  • Lightning's Zemgus Girgensons: Leaves Saturday's game

    Girgensons (undisclosed) left Saturday's game versus the Hurricanes in the second period, and head coach Jon Cooper didn't have an update on the forward's status after the contest, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.

    Girgensons' status for the Lightning's upcoming road trip, which begins Tuesday in Seattle, is up in the air until an update is provided. The Lightning could dress seven defensemen or put Scott Sabourin in the lineup if Girgensons misses time.

  • Flyers' Anthony Richard: Puts up three assists

    Richard notched three assists in AHL Lehigh Valley's 4-3 overtime win over Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Saturday.

    Richard crossed the 40-point mark for the season with this effort. He's earned three goals and 11 assists over his last 11 contests for the Phantoms. Overall, he has 16 goals, 25 helpers, 113 shots on net and a minus-8 rating in 52 outings.

  • Flyers' David Jiricek: Three helpers with new team

    Jiricek logged three assists in AHL Lehigh Valley's 4-3 overtime win over Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Saturday.

    Jiricek has earned four points over his first three games with the Phantoms. He has 14 points in 27 contests overall at the AHL level this season, which he started in the Wild's organization. It's unclear if Jiricek will get a look on the Flyers' blue line before the end of the season, but he should be in contention for a spot on the Opening Night roster for 2026-27.

  • Flyers' Lane Pederson: Three-point effort for Phantoms

    Pederson scored twice and added an assist in AHL Lehigh Valley's 4-3 overtime win over Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Saturday.

    Pederson has six points over his last four contests. For the season, he's up to 21 goals, 42 points and a minus-5 rating through 54 appearances. He went scoreless over a five-game stint with the Flyers in January.

  • Blues' Aleksanteri Kaskimaki: Three helpers for Springfield

    Kaskimaki posted three assists in AHL Springfield's 6-3 win over Utica on Saturday.

    Kaskimaki reached the 30-point mark in his 50th game of the season with this performance. He's at 13 goals, 17 helpers and 117 shots on net in his second AHL campaign. He has been limited to five points over his last eight contests.

  • Martin Necas C | COL

    Avalanche's Martin Necas: Breaks up shutout bid

    Necas scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Jets.

    Necas broke up Connor Hellebuyck's shutout bid with 1:16 left in the third period. This was Necas' third straight game with a goal, and he's scored in eight of 10 contests since the Olympics. The star forward reached the 80-point mark as well, sitting at 31 goals, 49 assists, 160 shots on net, 68 hits, 30 PIM and a plus-44 rating over 62 appearances. He's four points away from setting a new career high over last year's 83 points (27 goals, 56 assists) in 79 regular-season outings.

  • Dylan DeMelo D | WPG

    Jets' Dylan DeMelo: Stuck in drought

    DeMelo's point drought reached 19 games in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Avalanche.

    During the slump, DeMelo has 27 shots on net, a minus-2 rating, 25 hits and 25 blocked shots. He is primarily a defensive player in a top-four role on the blue line, so the lack of offense isn't a surprise, especially considering the Jets' overall struggles this season. DeMelo has 17 points, 62 shots on net, 96 hits, 92 blocked shots, 34 PIM and a plus-10 rating over 65 appearances. He's at risk of falling short of the 20-point mark for a second straight year if he doesn't end the slump soon.

  • Jets' Cole Perfetti: Fills empty net

    Perfetti scored an empty-net goal on three shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Avalanche.

    Martin Necas got the Avalanche on the board with 1:16 left in the third period, but Perfetti's empty-netter gave the Jets some breathing room. The 24-year-old Perfetti has two goals and two assists over seven outings in March. He's up to nine goals, 25 points, 105 shots on net, 38 hits and a minus-4 rating over 51 appearances. His offense has taken a significant step back this year, but it's encouraging that he remains in a prominent spot in the lineup despite his struggles.

  • Alex Iafallo LW | WPG

    Jets' Alex Iafallo: Deposits game-winner

    Iafallo scored a goal on three shots and went plus-3 in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Avalanche.

    Iafallo is getting a look on the top line, and that's a spot that serves him well. He ended a six-game goal drought with the tally Saturday, which stood as the game-winner. The 32-year-old forward is up to 11 goals, 25 points, 89 shots on net, 91 hits, 44 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 65 appearances. Iafallo may not stick on the top line, but he's worth streaming in fantasy while that's his gig.
