Kraken's Logan Morrison: Posts three points in AHL win
Morrison scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Coachella Valley's 4-2 win over Calgary on Saturday.

He had mostly avoided cold stretches this season, and he's at 25 goals and 27 helpers through 54 appearances in his third year with the Firebirds. Morrison is not yet ready for a full-time NHL gig, but he's taken a noticeable step up in the AHL in 2025-26.

Kraken's Jani Nyman: Logs three points in AHL win
Nyman scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Coachella Valley's 4-2 win over Calgary on Saturday.
Nyman has four goals and two assists over his last six games. The winger has 17 goals and seven helpers through 26 AHL outings this season. He had some action with the Kraken earlier in the season, but with the NHL club chasing a playoff spot, Nyman will likely be left to continue his development in the AHL for the stretch run.

Oilers' Tommy Lafreniere: Another three-point game
Lafreniere scored twice and added an assist in WHL Kamloops' 6-2 win over Vancouver on Saturday.
This was his second three-point game in a row. Lafreniere is now at 37 goals and 34 assists over 61 outings this season. The Oilers prospect had just 56 points in 68 regular-season contests a year ago before he was drafted 83rd overall in 2025, and he's taken a nice step forward in his development this year.

It was Hagel's first multi-point game since Feb. 1 against Boston. Over 56 appearances this season, he's third in team with 57 points and second on the club with 29 goals.

Lightning's Jake Guentzel: Keeps marching at career pace
Guentzel had a goal and an assist in a 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday.
Guentzel is on a three-game, four-point scoring streak (one goal, three assists). He has 27 goals, 40 assists and 166 shots in 61 games this season. Guentzel is on a 90-point pace so far, which would set a new career high.

Lightning's Ryan McDonagh: First goal since December
McDonagh scored a goal in a 5-2 win over Toronto on Saturday.
It was McDonagh's first goal in 11 games, a span that was interrupted by a five-week injury absence. His last goal came against Carolina on Dec. 20. McDonagh has 12 points (five goals, seven assists) in 28 appearances this season while adding 42 blocked shots and 26 shots on net.

Jaden Schwartz LW | SEA
Kraken's Jaden Schwartz: Leaves game Saturday
Schwartz won't return to Saturday's game versus the Senators after taking a skate blade to the face.
Schwartz was cut on his face late in the first period after Nick Cousins lost his balance following a hit from Eeli Tolvanen. For now, Schwartz can be considered day-to-day, though it's not encouraging that he was ruled out for the rest of this contest. If he's out Tuesday versus the Predators, Frederick Gaudreau (illness) or Bobby McMann (immigration) would be the candidates to take Schwartz's place in the lineup.

Nikita Kucherov RW | TB
Lightning's Nikita Kucherov: Four straight 100-point seasons
Kucherov had four assists in a 5-2 win over Toronto on Saturday.
Kucherov has four consecutive 100-point regular seasons and six in his career. He's among elite company. Kucherov is tied with Leon Draisaitl (four from 2021-22 to 2024-25) for the third-most among players born and trained outside of North America. Peter Stastny delivered 100 points six seasons in a row (1980-81 to 1985-86), and Jari Kurri hit the century mark five seasons in a row (1982-83 to 1986-87). Kucherov sits third in the NHL in points this campaign, but his 1.75 points per game is the best in the league.

Stars' Arttu Hyry: Pots pair for Texas
Hyry scored twice in AHL Texas' 4-2 win over Chicago on Saturday.
Hyry was up with the big club for about a week to help the Stars navigate the absences they had coming out of the Olympic break. He was sent down Thursday and had a big game with a pair of goals 30 seconds apart in Saturday's win. For the season, the Finnish forward has nine goals and 19 points over 27 AHL appearances.
