Alexandrov scored twice and added an assist in AHL Ontario's 4-1 win over San Diego on Friday.

Alexandrov has four goals and four assists over his last five outings. For the season, he's produced 16 goals, 40 assists, 144 shots and a minus-20 rating over 66 appearances between Ontario and Springfield. Ontario is the top team in the AHL's Pacific Division, so Alexandrov may be in line for a lengthy playoff run with the team.

Nielsen scored twice in AHL Colorado's 5-2 loss to Calgary on Friday.

Nielsen has four goals and three assists over his last five games. For the year, he's at a career-best 28 goals and 49 points over 66 appearances. Nielsen will look to keep rolling in the AHL postseason, and he's under contract with the Avalanche for 2026-27.

Hunt scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Calgary's 5-2 win over Colorado on Friday.

Hunt reached the 60-point mark for the year with this performance. He's at 18 goals, 42 assists, 132 shots on net and 64 PIM across 51 appearances for the Wranglers this year. The 30-year-old forward is under contract for 2026-27 and should continue to serve mostly as an AHL veteran who can fill in at the NHL level if necessary.

Postava recorded a 24-save shutout in AHL Grand Rapids' 8-0 win over Milwaukee on Friday.

Postava has won his last four games, including a pair of shutouts in that span. For the season, he's at 17-6-0 with a 1.71 GAA, a .937 save percentage and four shutouts over 25 appearances. Postava and Sebastian Cossa have mostly been sharing the crease this season, though it's not clear if Grand Rapids will roll with one goalie during the playoffs.

Koivunen scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 4-1 win over Bridgeport on Friday.

Koivunen came back to the AHL after the end of Pittsburgh's regular season. He's earned 39 points across 33 appearances for the Baby Pens. The Finnish forward will get to play regularly throughout the AHL postseason rather than filling a depth role during the NHL playoffs.

Hameenaho notched three assists in AHL Utica's 4-1 win over Providence on Friday.

Hameenaho returned to the AHL on Monday in an effort to help Utica's push for a playoff spot. However, the team is in danger of missing out on the postseason, which would bring Hameenaho's campaign to an end. He has 26 points in 36 AHL contests as well as eight points across 33 NHL outings.

McGing scored two goals in AHL Springfield's 7-5 loss to Hartford on Friday.

McGing has reached at least 30 points in five straight AHL campaigns. He's at 11 goals, 19 assists and a minus-6 rating over 65 appearances this season. He's scored three goals over his last three games.

Samson scored two goals in AHL Syracuse's 6-4 loss to Belleville on Friday.

Samson has a total of 17 points over 39 appearances between Syracuse and Lehigh Valley this season. The defenseman's five goals have all come since his December trade to the Lightning organization. He's earned five points over his last four outings.

Bourgault scored twice and added an assist in AHL Belleville's 6-4 win over Syracuse on Friday.

Bourgault has three multi-goal games over his last six games. For the season, the winger is up to 25 goals, 57 points and a minus-17 rating over 69 appearances. Belleville will miss the AHL postseason, so Bourgault could be a candidate to join Ottawa as part of the Black Aces early next week.

Mueller was reassigned to AHL Abbotsford on Friday.

Mueller had a goal in six outings with Vancouver in 2025-26. The Canucks failed to make the playoffs and have completed their regular-season schedule, but the AHL still has some more action before the Calder Cup Playoffs begin. Mueller has 16 goals and 35 points in 59 appearances with Abbotsford this campaign. Like Vancouver, Abbotsford will not be participating in the postseason this year.
