Scott scored twice in AHL Texas' 3-1 win over Chicago on Friday.

Scott is up to 15 goals and 29 points across 65 outings this season. He was limited to two helpers over his previous six contests before Friday's effort. The 25-year-old winger doesn't seem to be close to getting his NHL debut, and it's unclear if he's done enough to earn another two-way contract after playing this year on his entry-level deal.

Hayes scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 3-1 win over Lehigh Valley on Friday.

With the tally, Hayes has 23 goals this season, matching his total from the 2024-25 regular season. He's at 38 points in 40 appearances this year compared to 42 points in 60 outings last year. Hayes has seen some NHL time recently, but with the Penguins getting healthier, it's unclear if he'll get another look in Pittsburgh before the end of the campaign.

Kaliyev scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Belleville's 5-2 win over Rochester on Friday.

Kaliyev earned his second three-point effort in his last three games. He's had a fantastic campaign with 37 goals and 63 points over 64 appearances. Kaliyev hasn't gotten much of a look in the NHL, but the Senators haven't had a need for an extra forward recently.

Bourgault scored two goals in AHL Belleville's 5-2 win over Rochester on Friday.

Bourgault is up to 20 goals and 51 points over 64 appearances, all of which are career-best markers for the 23-year-old. He had been limited to three helpers over his last five outings. Bourgault's breakout in the AHL this year should give him some momentum to compete for NHL time in 2026-27.

Brown scored two goals in AHL Providence's 4-2 win over Syracuse on Friday.

Brown's offense has dropped off dramatically late in the season. He had been limited to three assists over 15 contests prior to Friday's two-goal burst. He's up to 19 goals and 52 points over 66 appearances, with the point total being a career high while the goal mark ties his previous personal best.

Kerins scored twice and added two assists in AHL Calgary's 5-2 win over Laval on Friday.

Kerins' massive performance got him to the 50-point mark for the season. He's at 20 goals, 30 helpers, 110 shots on net and a minus-6 rating over 52 appearances. Kerins has earned six goals and seven helpers over his last seven outings, which could earn him a call-up late in the Flames' campaign.

Malatesta scored twice in AHL Cleveland's 6-3 win over Milwaukee on Friday.

Malatesta has done little on offense this season, earning seven goals and 15 points over 52 outings. He also has 87 PIM, showcasing his skills as a tougher player. He had put up just one assist over his previous nine games, and his overall lack of offense has likely been a factor in why he hasn't been called up to Columbus this year.

Eklund notched three assists in AHL Bridgeport's 4-2 win over Hartford on Friday.

Eklund has already earned six assists over his first four AHL games after returning from his loan with Djurgardens in the SHL. The 19-year-old is a quality playmaker and can contribute in a variety of ways. Eklund may still need a couple of years to become a fantasy option, but the potential is there in the long run.

George recorded a 25-save shutout in OHL Sault Ste. Marie's 4-0 win over London in Game 5 on Friday.

George was dominant in the first-round series, going 4-1 with a 1.41 GAA and a .942 save percentage over five contests. He'll continue to get the bulk of the starts in goal as the Greyhounds head to the second round. The 19-year-old goalie (20 in May) is signed to an entry-level deal, so he'll either play in the OHL or AHL in 2026-27, barring a surprising training camp with the Kings.

Martin scored a goal and added two assists in OHL Sault Ste. Marie's 4-0 win over London in Game 5 on Friday.

Martin was a big factor in the Greyhounds' series-clinching win. He's up to seven points over five playoff outings this spring after earning just six points over 16 postseason contests over the previous two years. The Nashville prospect was limited by injuries this season but has been a strong contributor when in the lineup.
