Lightning's J.J. Moser: Pair of helpers against Czechia
Moser supplied two assists and put two shots on goal in Switzerland's 4-3 overtime win over Czechia in Olympic round-robin play Sunday.
Moser slid the primary helpers on goals scored by Roman Josi and Pius Suter, which ultimately set Switzerland up to win Sunday's contest in overtime. The pair of helpers brought Moser up to four points for the tournament, which is tied for the team lead alongside Timo Meier. Moser should continue to see heavy usage alongside Josi for the remainder of the event.

Devils' Timo Meier: Nets power-play goal Sunday
Meier tallied a power-play goal, recorded an assist and fired five shots on net in Switzerland's 4-3 overtime win over Czechia in Olympic round-robin play Sunday.
Meier found the back of the net with just under 90 seconds remaining in the second period before later picking up a secondary helper on Pius Suter's goal to help send the game into overtime. At the Olympics, Meier is now tied for the lead in goals with Germany's Tim Stutzle and Slovakia's Juraj Slafkovsky. Meier will be tasked with a large role offensively for Switzerland during bracket play with Kevin Fiala (leg) out for the rest of the tournament.

Avalanche's Martin Necas: Three points against Switzerland
Necas scored a goal, recorded two assists and fired seven shots on net in Czechia's 4-3 overtime loss to Switzerland in Olympic round-robin play Sunday.
Necas stuffed the stat sheet in Sunday's loss as he assisted on two goals before finding the back of the net himself with just over two minutes remaining in regulation to send the game to overtime. He also fired seven shots on net and should continue to lead Czechia's offense alongside David Pastrnak when bracket play begins. Necas is tied for third in the Olympics with five points.

Roman Josi D | NSH
Predators' Roman Josi: One of each against Czechia
Josi scored a goal, distributed an assist and placed three shots on net in Switzerland's 4-3 overtime win over Czechia in Olympic round-robin play Sunday.
Josi stole the show in the second period with both of his points occurring late in the period. He struck the back of the net to level the score at 1-1 before sliding the primary helper on Timo Meier's power-play goal to give Switzerland a 2-1 lead headed into the third period. Across round-robin play, Josi is up to three points and eight shots on net across three games. He'll likely be relied upon for more consistent offense if Switzerland is to advance beyond the first round of bracket play in the Olympic tournament.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Comes up short in OT
Dostal turned aside 25 of 29 shots on net in Czechia's 4-3 overtime loss to Switzerland in Olympic round-robin play Sunday.
After tending a clean first period, Dostal allowed two goals in the second before ultimately falling in overtime. The 25-year-old netminder has lost each of his two starts at the Olympics, where he has posted a 4.50 GAA and an .862 save percentage. With Czechia finding its lone win of the tournament with Dan Vladar in net and Karel Vejmelka still waiting to make his Olympic debut, Dostal is unlikely to start the team's first game of bracket play following his struggles to this point in the tournament.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Slated to start Sunday
Dostal is expected to start for Czechia against Switzerland on Sunday at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Flyers' Jett Luchanko: Picking up steam
Luchanko scored a goal and added two assists in OHL Brantford's 4-2 win over Guelph on Saturday.
Luchanko has posted three straight multi-point efforts, following a stretch in which he was limited to two helpers in nine outings. The Flyers prospect has seven goals, 30 assists and a plus-12 rating over 32 appearances between Brantford and Guelph this season.

Dominic Toninato C | CHI
Blackhawks' Dominic Toninato: Four points in AHL win
Toninato scored a goal and added three assists in AHL Rockford's 6-2 win over Milwaukee on Saturday.
Toninato has seven points over four outings in February. That's a surge for the forward, who has still been pretty good for the IceHogs with 12 goals and 34 points over 41 outings this season. Toninato could get a call-up later in the season for the Blackhawks if they need to replenish their forward depth.

Ben Jones C | MIN
Wild's Ben Jones: Trio of assists in AHL loss
Jones logged three assists in AHL Iowa's 8-6 loss to Springfield on Saturday.
Jones has two goals and eight helpers over his last six AHL outings. For the season, he's at 16 points in 15 outings for Iowa, as well as two points in 26 games for Minnesota at the NHL level. Jones would likely be considered for a call-up if the injury bug bites the Wild again.
