Carbonneau scored two goals in QMJHL Blainville-Boisbriand's 5-1 win over Val-d'Or on Saturday.

Carbonneau had a rough patch in early January, but he's rebounded with at least a point in 10 of the last 11 games. In that span, he has 11 goals and seven assists. The Blues prospect is up to 41 goals, 63 points, 23 shots on net and a plus-17 rating across 45 outings this season.

Groulx scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Toronto's 5-1 win over Springfield on Saturday.

Groulx continues to pile up points, though Saturday's effort ended his first multi-game slump since late November. The forward has 21 goals, 18 assists, 100 shots on net and a plus-9 rating over 44 outings. The 26-year-old could be a candidate for a call-up if the Maple Leafs succeed at trading away some veteran forwards closer to the deadline.

Finley was claimed off waivers by St. Louis from Tampa Bay on Saturday, per Chris Johnston of The Athletic.

Finley had two goals, three points, 21 PIM and 37 hits in 22 outings with Tampa Bay in 2025-26. The 23-year-old will be an option for a spot on the Blues' fourth line, but there's no guarantee that he'll be in the lineup when St. Louis' schedule resumes Feb. 26 versus Seattle.

Lammikko will fulfill his contract with ZSC Lions of the Swiss National Laegue, according to zcslions.ch on Saturday.

Lammikko was placed on unconditional waivers by the Devils on Thursday and passed through waivers Friday, allowing him to rejoin Zurich, where he played for the last three seasons before joining New Jersey this season. His original contract runs through the 2027-28 season with Zurich, where he tallied 13 goals and 25 assists in 48 regular-season games in 2024-25.

Zacha (upper body) has been ruled out of the 2026 Winter Olympics, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports Saturday.

Czechia pegged Zacha to start on the top line with Boston teammate David Pastrnak, but that plan won't come to fruition. The Czechs will replace Zacha with Filip Chlapik of the Czech Extraliga on the roster. Zacha will have some additional time over the Olympic break to recover, but it's unclear if he will be in the lineup against Columbus on Feb. 26.

Coghlan scored two goals in AHL Henderson's 4-3 loss to Coachella Valley on Friday.

Coghlan has displayed plenty of offense this season with 10 goals and 21 points over 32 appearances. He's earned five of those goals over the last three games. If the Golden Knights lose a defenseman during the Olympics, Coghlan would likely get called up to fill a depth role.

Unger Sorum scored twice and added an assist in AHL Chicago's 5-4 overtime win over Colorado on Friday.

Unger Sorum had gone 22 games without a goal prior to Friday. He has started to pick up the pace as a playmaker with 14 helpers over his last 10 outings. Overall, he's at 10 goals, 39 points, 57 shots on net and a plus-6 rating through 42 appearances for the Wolves in his second AHL campaign.

Hebig notched three assists in AHL Tucson's 7-3 win over Calgary on Friday.

Hebig is up to 15 goals and 24 assists over 40 appearances this season with the Roadrunners. He got a one-week stint with the Mammoth in January, but he didn't make his NHL debut. At 29 years old, he's unlikely to become an NHL regular, but he's been a steady AHL veteran with Tucson over the last three campaigns.

Cootes scored a goal and added two assists in WHL Prince Albert's 6-0 win over Lethbridge on Friday.

Cootes is up to 19 points in 14 outings with the Raiders, a nearly identical pace (1.36 per game) compared to what he did with WHL Seattle earlier in the season. In total, he has 17 goals, 25 helpers and a plus-14 rating over 31 appearances this season. The Canucks prospect was nearly NHL-ready to begin the 2025-26 campaign, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him get another long look in training camp ahead of 2026-27.

Toninato scored twice in AHL Rockford's 5-2 loss to Iowa on Friday.

Toninato reached the 30-point mark for the third time in the last four AHL campaigns. The 31-year-old forward is at 11 goals, 19 assists and 104 shots on net over 39 appearances, including three goals and a helper over his last four games. If he gets another look with the Blackhawks this season, it'll likely be as a depth forward.
