Mantha scored two goals in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Bruins.

Both goals came in the third period as the Penguins staged a late rally that was capped by Thomas Novak's OT winner. It was Mantha's fourth multi-goal performance of the season. Through 63 games, he's delivered 23 goals and 47 points -- putting him one point and two tallies away from tying his career highs.

Gilbert was recalled from AHL Belleville on Monday.

Gilbert's promotion to the NHL roster doesn't bode well for the availability of Jake Sanderson (upper body) for Monday's game versus Vancouver, especially with Nikolas Matinpalo (undisclosed) recovering from an injury of his own. If Gilbert suits up Monday, it would be just his second NHL game of the year -- he logged 13:50 of ice time against the Rangers on Dec. 4.

Silovs made 24 saves on 28 shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Bruins.

It looked like Silovs might get an early hook when the Bruins took a 3-0 lead midway through the second period, but the 24-year-old netminder kept his focus and got rewarded when Pittsburgh staged a late rally. Silovs has allowed four goals in back-to-back starts, but over his last eight outings he's gone 6-2-0 with a sharp 2.29 GAA and .916 save percentage. He'll likely continue to share the crease with Stuart Skinner -- the duo has alternated starts since the Olympic break.

Thompson will protect the home net against Calgary on Monday, according to Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.

Despite allowing just five goals on 52 shots, Thompson has gone 0-2-0 in his last two outings. He has a 21-18-4 record this campaign with two shutouts, a 2.41 GAA and a .913 save percentage across 43 appearances. Calgary sits 32nd in the league this season with only 2.47 goals per game.

Vladar will be in goal at home versus the Rangers on Monday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Vladar has appeared in 10 of the Flyers' last 11 contests, going 4-3-2 with a 2.23 GAA and .914 save percentage. While the backstop's ratios are fairly solid, that hasn't necessarily translated into wins during that stretch. Still, the 28-year-old has already reached the 20-win threshold for the first time in his career and is sporting a personal best 2.40 GAA on the year.

Aspirot notched two assists in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Penguins.

The assists came in the second and third periods as Aspirot helped Pavel Zacha complete his second career hat trick. The 26-year-old blueliner has yet to score a goal in 2026, going 21 games without finding the back of the net, but he's been productive on an even-strength pairing with Charlie McAvoy. Over his last nine games, Aspirot has seven assists, 12 blocked shots, 10 hits, six PIM, five shots on net and a plus-3 rating.

Arvidsson picked up two assists in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Penguins.

The assists came in the second and third periods as Arvidsson helped Pavel Zacha complete his second career hat trick. Arvidsson has three multi-point performances in six games since the Olympic break, a stretch in which he's produced four goals and seven points.

Zacha scored three goals, including one on the power play, in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to Pittsburgh.

The 28-year-old center found the back of the net in each regulation period, but Zacha didn't get a chance to produce one more in OT as Thomas Novak ended the game just 17 seconds into the extra frame. The hat trick was the second of Zacha's career, and the power-play tally was his career-high seventh of the season. Over the course of a five-game point streak, he's collected four goals and eight points, and he's now at 19 tallies and 45 points through 60 contests overall.

Korpisalo made 34 saves on 39 shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Penguins.

The Bruins had built a 3-0 lead midway through the second period, but it slipped away late as Korpisalo was beaten three times on 14 shots in the third period, before Thomas Novak ripped a shot past him just 17 seconds into OT. Korpisalo has given up five goals in back-to-back starts, and over his last five outings he's gone 1-1-3 with a shaky 3.97 GAA and .874 save percentage.

MacKinnon scored his league-leading 43rd goal of the season and also potted the shootout winner in Sunday's 3-2 victory over the Wild.

The 30-year-old superstar opened the scoring midway through the second period, snapping a quick shot from the faceoff circle past Jesper Wallstedt, and MacKinnon then beat the young netminder again to his glove side in the fourth round of the shootout. The goal extended MacKinnon's point streak to seven games dating back to Feb. 4, the Avalanche's last game before the Olympic break. Over that stretch, he's racked up three goals and 13 points. His 104 points on the season are second only to Connor McDavid's 108.
