Bump scored two goals in AHL Lehigh Valley's 6-4 win over Hershey on Saturday.

Bump missed over a month of action recently, but he's starting to get his rhythm back. He's scored three goals over his last two games. For the season, the 22-year-old forward has 10 goals, 23 points, 105 shots on net and a plus-1 rating. If the Flyers fall out of playoff contention early, Bump could get a chance for his NHL debut late this season.

Dumais scored two goals in AHL Cleveland's 3-2 shootout win over Toronto on Saturday.

Dumais had gone 18 games without a goal, collecting just four assists in that span. For the season, he's at seven goals, 18 points, 53 shots on net and a minus-11 rating through 38 appearances this season. The 21-year-old forward has battled injuries in both of his professional seasons so far, which has had a limiting effect on his development and production.

Geekie logged three assists in AHL Syracuse's 4-3 loss to Charlotte on Saturday.

Geekie has eight helpers over his last five games, but he hasn't scored a goal in that span. The 21-year-old forward is up to 13 goals, 36 assists, 142 shots on net and a plus-14 rating through 45 appearances this season. He's taken a big step forward with his consistency in the AHL this year, which positions him well to be an option for the Lightning as soon as 2026-27.

Tolvanen added two secondary helpers in the game, including one on Roope Hintz's power-play goal in the third period. With the pair of points, the 26-year-old Tolvanen ended the Olympics with three points and a plus-two rating across five appearances.

Heiskanen registered two assists and placed two shots on net during Finland's 6-1 win over Slovakia in Saturday's bronze-medal game of the 2026 Winter Olympics.

With the pair of apples, Heiskanen finished the Olympics with three assists, five points and a plus-three rating across six games. He'll head back to the Stars with hardware around his neck and momentum for the latter half of the season, making him a strong fantasy option on the blue line moving forward.

Hintz scored a power-play goal, supplied an assist and placed two shots on net during Finland's 6-1 win over Slovakia in the bronze-medal game of the 2026 Winter Olympics on Saturday.

Hintz found the back of the net on a power play midway through the third period to give Finland a 3-1 lead. The bronze-medal game helped Hintz double his point total at the Olympics, where he finished with four points and a plus-three rating. The 29-year-old forward will head back to Dallas and look to provide a spark for the Stars' top six amidst the team's push for the lead in the Central Division.

Armia scored a goal, recorded two assists and fired four shots on net during Finland's 6-1 win over Slovakia in the Olympic bronze-medal game Saturday.

Armia helped pave Finland's path to the Olympic bronze medal with two primary assists sandwiching his empty-net goal with just under five minutes remaining in the contest. With the trio of points, the 32-year-old forward finished the Olympics with three goals, five assists and a plus-seven rating across six appearances. His eight points are currently tied for fourth in the tournament with Slovakia's Juraj Slafkovsky and Czechia's Martin Necas. Armia will not only return to Los Angeles with Olympic hardware, but also with a case to play alongside the newly-acquired Artemi Panarin with Kevin Fiala (leg) out for the season.

Haula scored two goals and fired three shots on net during Finland's 6-1 win over Slovakia in the Olympic bronze-medal game Saturday.

Haula was incredibly active in the second period, where he posted a two-minute minor penalty before he scored his first goal. The latter of his two twine finders was an empty netter for Finland's sixth and final goal of the game. The 34-year-old Haula finished the Olympics with three goals and six points, which is currently tied for 11th in the tournament. He'll return to Nashville with a bronze medal and could be in for a solid stretch of NHL play if he can maintain the momentum he built up during the Olympics.

Hlavaj turned aside 29 of 33 shots on goal during Slovakia's 6-1 loss to Finland in the Olympic bronze-medal game Saturday.

With the loss, the 24-year-old Hlavaj finished the Olympics with a 3.56 GAA and a .908 save percentage across five appearances. While he'll head back to AHL Iowa without an Olympic medal, the young netminder was able to showcase his skills on the world stage, which could lead to an NHL call-up if Minnesota's Filip Gustavsson or Jesper Wallstedt pick up an injury.

Saros stopped 30 of 31 shots on net during Finland's 6-1 win over Slovakia in the Olympic bronze-medal game Saturday.

Saros put together a phenomenal performance to help Finland earn hardware, allowing just one goal late in the second period. Across his six starts at the Olympics, the 30-year-old goalie posted a 4-2-0 record, a .940 save percentage and a 1.66 GAA. He'll look to carry his excellent run of play into NHL action with Nashville, where he has had an up-and-down season.
