  • Juho Lammikko: Signs with Swiss club

    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.

  • Pavel Zacha C | BOS

    Bruins' Pavel Zacha: Unavailable for Olympic Games

    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.

  • Golden Knights' Dylan Coghlan: Tallies twice for Henderson

    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.

  • Hurricanes' Felix Unger Sorum: Breaks AHL goal drought

    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.

  • Mammoth's Cameron Hebig: Logs three assists in AHL win

    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.

  • Canucks' Braeden Cootes: Logs three points in WHL win

    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.

  • Blackhawks' Dominic Toninato: Nets both goals in AHL loss

    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.

  • Isak Rosen RW | BUF

    Sabres' Isak Rosen: AHL scoring pace stays high

    Rosen scored three goals in AHL Rochester's 4-0 win over Springfield on Friday.

    Rosen logged a natural hat trick in this contest, his first game back after a stint with the Sabres. Both of his AHL hat tricks this season have come over the last eight games, a span in which he has eight goals and an assist. The talented winger is at 23 goals, 35 points and 94 shots on net through 29 AHL outings this season, and he's added seven points in 16 NHL appearances.

  • Bruins' Georgi Merkulov: Scores twice in AHL win

    Merkulov scored two goals in AHL Providence's 3-1 win over Hartford on Friday.

    With the effort, Merkulov has 16 goals and 19 assists over 41 outings this season. He's already surpassed his goal total from 59 regular-season contests a year ago, but his overall scoring pace is a little down. Merkulov got one call-up earlier in the campaign, and he continues to play well enough that he could help the Bruins as a depth forward later in 2025-26.

  • Tristan Broz C | PIT

    Penguins' Tristan Broz: Posts trio of helpers

    Broz logged three assists in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 6-5 win over Lehigh Valley on Friday.

    Broz missed some time for the AHL club in late January, but his return to the lineup was a good one. He's earned four goals and seven assists over his last six outings. Overall, he's at 14 goals, 31 points and a plus-12 rating through 37 appearances. He's earned a couple of call-ups to the NHL but has just one game under his belt for Pittsburgh so far.
