Carlsson scored a power-play goal on three shots in Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Jets.

Carlsson has four points over two games since he returned from a thigh injury. The 21-year-old center reached the 20-goal mark for the second year in a row, doing so in his 46th game of 2025-26. He's added 28 helpers, 14 power-play points, 114 shots on net and a plus-2 rating. Carlsson has all the tools to be a successful top-line center as one of the leaders for the Ducks as they come out of their rebuilding era.

Mintyukov scored a goal, dished an assist and added two PIM in Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Jets.

Mintyukov tied the game at 3-3 midway through the third period and helped out on a Ryan Poehling goal later in the frame. Prior to Friday, Mintyukov had been limited to one assist over his last six games. He's listed on the third pairing currently, but he's seen more than 20 minutes of ice time in four of his last five contests. The blueliner has seven goals, 17 points, 52 shots on net, 77 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating across 53 appearances.

Dostal stopped 29 of 33 shots in Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Jets.

Dostal has allowed nine goals on 60 shots in two games since play resumed after the Olympics, but he's won both of those outings. The 25-year-old is playing dangerously, but Dostal has the talent to shake off these struggles soon and get back to a higher level of performance. He's at a 23-13-2 record with a 3.00 GAA and an .895 save percentage through 40 appearances this season. The Ducks have a favorable matchup ahead when they host the low-scoring Flames on Sunday.

Kaprizov scored a power-play goal on two shots and went minus-2 in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Mammoth.

Kaprizov has five goals and four assists during a six-game point streak. The 28-year-old winger got the Wild on the board Friday, though the damage had already been done by the time he scored. He's up to 33 goals, 73 points (27 on the power play), 37 hits, 20 PIM and a plus-9 rating through 60 contests. Kaprizov would need to finish strong, but a 100-point campaign is not out of the question.

Boldy scored a goal on seven shots, added a power-play assist and blocked four shots in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Mammoth.

Boldy has carried over his Olympic momentum by posting six points and 17 shots over two contests since returning to the Wild. The 24-year-old has eight goals and 10 helpers over his last nine NHL outings, including four straight multi-point efforts. Overall, he's at 35 goals, 33 helpers, 22 power-play points, 190 shots on net, a plus-17 rating, 41 hits and 37 blocks through 56 appearances.

Wallstedt allowed five goals on 37 shots in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Mammoth.

Wallstedt gave up the first three goals of the game, and that was too big a deficit for the Wild to overcome. The 23-year-old has allowed 27 goals on 195 shots over his last seven outings (six starts), so the Wild's defense hasn't exactly been limiting the shots he faces. For the season, he's 14-6-4 with a 2.86 GAA and a .910 save percentage over 25 appearances. Assuming Filip Gustavsson is feeling close to 100 percent after a recent illness, Wallstedt is likely to be back on the bench for Sunday's game versus the Blues.

McBain notched two assists, one while shorthanded, and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-2 win over the Wild.

McBain has earned six helpers over his last seven games. He's gone 12 contests without a goal, but he remains in a middle-six role to offer some toughness in key minutes for the Mammoth. McBain is up to 22 points, 82 shots on net, 199 hits, 38 blocked shots, 58 PIM and a plus-10 rating through 59 outings. He could take a run at his first 30-point campaign at his current pace.

Sergachev notched two assists, five shots on goal, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-2 win over the Wild.

This was his first multi-point effort since Jan. 24, when he had three helpers versus the Predators. Sergachev's first assist was on Logan Cooley's shorthanded tally, and he also set up a Barrett Hayton power-play marker in the third period. Sergachev is up to 41 points (nine goals, 32 helpers), including 17 on the power play and two while shorthanded. He's added 122 shots on net, 97 blocked shots, 28 hits and a plus-3 rating over 59 appearances in a top-pairing role.

Schmaltz registered two assists, three shots on goal and two PIM in Friday's 5-2 win over the Wild.

Schmaltz has three multi-point efforts over his last four games, totaling four goals and four assists in that span. The 30-year-old has been excellent for much of the campaign, aside from one rough patch in late November. He's now at 55 points (23 goals, 32 assists) with 141 shots on net, 37 blocked shots and a plus-21 rating through 59 appearances. He's on pace to shatter his career high of 63 points from 82 games last season.

Hayton scored a power-play goal on three shots in Friday's 5-2 win over the Wild.

Hayton ended a five-game goal drought with his tally at 1:19 of the third period. He had points in six of the Mammoth's seven contests before the Olympic break before being held scoreless when play resumed Wednesday versus the Avalanche. The 25-year-old is up to eight goals, 22 points (six on the power play), 102 shots on net, 25 hits, 44 PIM and a plus-8 rating through 54 appearances this season.
