Crosby (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Team Canada on Sunday in the gold medal game of the 2026 Winter Olympics versus the United States, according to Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site.

Crosby skated at a closed practice Saturday. He was injured in quarterfinal action against Czechia on Wednesday and sat out Friday's semifinal matchup against Finland. Crosby has 27 goals and 59 points in 56 games with Pittsburgh this season.

Martin scored two goals and added one assist in WHL Spokane's 6-1 win over Vancouver on Friday.

Martin has earned five points, including four goals, over his last two games. He had been limited to six helpers over the seven contests before that. For the season, the Jets prospect has 18 goals, 36 points and a plus-9 rating over 52 outings. He projects as a bottom-six forward in the professional ranks. However, he has shown some scoring pop that could add a little value if it holds in the long run.

Harrison scored two goals in AHL Providence's 5-2 win over Belleville on Friday.

Harrison has four points over his last five games. The 22-year-old forward has just 16 points over 40 outings this season, one shy of matching his output from 46 regular-season contests in 2024-25. Harrison's offense has been steady from year to year in the AHL, but he's not at a level that would earn him a promotion to Boston.

Dervin scored a goal and added an assist in OHL Kingston's 5-1 win over North Bay on Friday.

Dervin has four multi-point efforts over his last 11 games, totaling four goals and six assists in that span. The Canucks prospect has a total of 13 goals and 21 helpers through 43 outings this season, but he's cooled down after a strong start to the campaign.

Hughes recorded two goals in the United States' 6-2 win over Slovakia in the Olympic semifinals Friday.

Hughes elevated his scoring tally to three goals in the tournament with a pair of second-period goals in this win. Hughes might be playing in a bottom-six role for Team USA, but he has been productive with three goals and three assists so far.

Eichel recorded an even-strength goal and a power-play assist in the United States' 6-2 win over Slovakia in the Olympic semifinals Friday.

Eichel set up Tage Thompson's goal in the first period to give Team USA a 2-0 lead, and his goal in the second period pulled Samuel Hlavaj out of the game for good. Eichel has been productive for Team USA and has six points so far in the Olympics, courtesy of two goals and four helpers.

Hagens scored three goals in Boston College's 5-2 win over UConn on Friday.

Hagens reached the 20-goal mark for the season with this effort. He's added 17 helpers and a plus-11 rating over 27 outings, tying his 37-point output from 37 games as a freshman in 2024-25. The Bruins prospect is rolling at the right time and will look to take his momentum into the Hockey East conference tournament soon.

Ryabkin scored a goal and added two assists in QMJHL Charlottetown's 6-5 shootout win over Moncton on Friday.

Ryabkin has earned nine points over his last three outings. For the season, he's up to six goals and 14 helpers in just 10 QMJHL appearances since he was reassigned from AHL Chicago. Getting some pro-level experience wasn't a bad thing, but the 18-year-old should be brimming with confidence given how he's dominated since his return to the junior ranks.

McDavid pocketed two power-play assists in Canada's 3-2 win over Finland in the semifinals of the 2026 Winter Olympics on Friday.

With Canada staring at a 2-0 deficit early in the second period, the Oilers superstar helped spark the comeback by having a hand in a Sam Reinhart tally. McDavid then helped set up Nathan MacKinnon for the game-winner with just 36 seconds left in regulation. McDavid has compiled two goals and 13 points through five games in the tournament, setting the record for the most points ever in an Olympics involving NHL players. He'll look to add to his total Sunday when Canada faces the United States in the gold-medal game.

Thompson is expected to be available for Sunday's gold medal game versus Canada at the 2026 Winter Olympics, Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports.

Thompson blocked a shot off his foot and was unable to finish Friday's 6-2 win over Slovakia. The 28-year-old looks set to play through the issue Sunday, though it's unclear if the Sabres will give him any time off once the NHL campaign resumes.
