Brisson scored twice and added an assist in AHL Hartford's 6-0 win over Bridgeport on Friday.

Brisson recently got a look with the Rangers, earning a helper over three contests. The 24-year-old has earned 15 goals and 26 points through 48 outings with Hartford. The 24-year-old should be in contention for additional call-ups if the Rangers need forward depth before the end of the campaign.

Martin posted a 22-save shutout in AHL Hartford's 6-0 win over Bridgeport on Friday.

Martin is now 3-6-2 on the year at the AHL level, though two of those wins have come via shutout. He's added a 3.23 GAA and an .889 save percentage in 12 games for the Wolf Pack. Martin will likely remain with Hartford unless Igor Shesterkin or Jonathan Quick gets sidelined.

Gostisbehere (lower body) won't finish Friday's game versus the Oilers.

Gostisbehere has been hounded by the injury bug all season, so this isn't a positive sign. Gostisbehere had a goal in 4:01 of ice time prior to his exit. His status for Saturday versus the Flames is uncertain, but Mike Reilly will draw in if Gostisbehere can't suit up.

Brzustewicz registered four assists in OHL London's 10-2 win over Erie on Friday.

With the effort, Brzustewicz reached the 50-point mark on the season. He has 12 points over 11 contests in February, but he's already earned six points in three games in March. The Kings prospect now has 17 goals, 33 helpers, 212 shots on net, 55 PIM and a minus-13 rating for the Knights this season.

Benak scored twice in OHL Brantford's 5-1 win over Saginaw on Friday.

Benak has found his touch again with three goals and six assists over his last four games. He had been limited to three points in the five contests before that. For the season, the Wild prospect is up to 26 goals, 68 points and a plus-19 rating over 41 appearances as one of Brantford's top forwards.

Ryabkin scored twice and added two assists in QMJHL Charlottetown's 5-3 win over Baie-Comeau on Friday.

Ryabkin has four points in each of his three outings in March, while also going plus-8 with 16 PIM. The 18-year-old forward's toughness is a positive sign, especially given his scoring talent that's clearly on display. He's now at 11 goals, 34 points and 32 PIM through 15 outings with Charlottetown.

Hintz (lower body) was injured in Friday's game versus the Avalanche and won't finish the contest.

Hintz got tangled with Nathan MacKinnon in the second period and ended up getting the worst of the collision. Hintz was just returning after a four-game absence due to an illness, but this injury has the potential to be much more concerning. The 29-year-old could be forced to miss time, beginning with Sunday's game versus the Blackhawks.

Larkin sustained an apparent right leg injury Friday versus the Panthers, but it's not expected to be a long-term concern, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.

Larkin left the game in the third period due to the injury, which saw his right leg bend awkwardly. He still needs a thorough evaluation, but the initial report suggests he avoided a worst-case scenario. More information should be known prior to the start of the Red Wings' upcoming road trip, which begins Sunday in New Jersey.

Gustavsson will protect the road goal versus the Golden Knights on Friday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

Gustavsson has five wins in his last six NHL games. He's posted a .927 save percentage in that span as well. The Wild look to be leaning on Gustavsson at this point, putting him firmly ahead of Jesper Wallstedt on the depth chart. This is a tough matchup, but Gustavsson's recent play suggests he can keep the Wild in it against anyone.

Binnington will draw the road start versus the Sharks on Friday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

Binnington will get the nod in a game that could be challenging for the Blues, who only have five defensemen dressed for the contest. With Justin Faulk traded to Detroit and Colton Parayko (back) out, that's a lot of defensive skill unavailable Friday. Binnington has lost eight straight NHL games, all in regulation, and he has an .844 save percentage in that span.
