Holmberg had a goal and an assist in a 6-1 win over Florida on Thursday.

It was Holmberg's first multi-point game since Oct. 28, and the points were his first in eight games (11 shots). He has nine goals, eight assists, a plus-9 rating and 66 shots in 48 games this season. Holmberg now flies to Italy to represent Sweden at the 2026 Winter Olympic Games.

Vasilevskiy made 33 saves in a 6-1 win over Florida on Thursday.

Another game, another win. Vasilevskiy's win streak now stands at eight games (13 goals allowed), and he hasn't lost in regulation since Dec. 18 (16-0-1). Vasilevskiy is an impressive 27-7-3 with a 2.11 GAA and .920. How dominant has he been? He began the season with a 0-3-2 record and 17 goals allowed in his first five starts. Now, Vasy gets to rest and recover during the break, so he's fresh to carry his squad toward a date with Lord Stanley.

Marchessault scored a goal in a 4-2 loss to the Capitals on Thursday.

Marchessault's overall numbers (10 goals, seven assists; 38 games) fail to impress. But there has been some warmth to this game during this cold January and February. Marchessault has seven points, including three goals, in his last eight games. He has 27 shots in that span.

Wilsby delivered two assists Thursday in a 4-2 loss to Washington.

Willsby has five assists and 10 shots in his last six games. He has no goals in 19 games and just one on the season (43 games). Willsby is not a significant contributor in muscle categories, so his deep-league value is slim to none.

Kuzmenko (upper body) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Golden Knights.

Kuzmenko was initially injured in the first period. He made a brief return in the second but left for good prior to the third. The 30-year-old's injury comes at a decent time, as he'll have until Feb. 25 before the Kings are back in action for a rematch with Vegas.

Annunen made 26 saves in a 4-2 loss to the Capitals on Thursday.

Annunen is 5-7-2 with a 3.23 GAA and .886 save percentage in 13 starts (18 appearances) this season. He doesn't get enough games behind Juuse Saros to make him an appealing option in net, and his ratios make him a sketchy spot starter in daily formats. Annunen is 1-2-1 in his last three starts (five appearances). He allowed 14 goals in those three starts, including a seven-goal debacle against Vegas on Jan. 17.

Thompson (upper body) made 27 saves in a 4-2 win over Nashville on Thursday.

He had missed four games with the injury. Thompson heads into representing Canada at the 2026 Winter Olympic Games on a high with the win. He has a 19-6-4 record with two shutouts, 2.45 GAA and .912 save percentage in 39 starts this season.

Strome put up two assists in a 4-2 win over the Predators on Thursday.

Strome has five points (two goals, three assists) in his last five games (nine shots), and he has 14 points, including six goals, in his last 14 games (33 shots). And now that Pierre-Luc Dubois has returned after missing 47 games, Strome should feel the relief of having another big body down the middle.

Dubois (abdomen) had a goal and an assist Thursday in a 4-2 win over Nashville. He had missed 47 games.

Dubois last played Oct. 31. He had surgery to address injuries to his abdominal and adductor muscles. He played 17:35 and put up two shots, one block and one hit. His goal came on the power play. Dubois is a solid waiver grab right now; he's slotted right back into his second-line center role and onto the second power-play unit.

Chychrun scored two goals and an assist in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Predators. He fired seven shots.

Chychrun's first goal stood as the winner, and it was a beauty. He made a spin move to elude a checker at center ice, skated into the Preds' zone, cut toward the middle and fired a long-range wrist shot that got past Justus Annunen. Chychrun has put up three multi-point games in his last five outings. He has three goals, five assists and 16 shots in that span. He heads into break with 46 points, including a career high 21 goals, and 182 shots in 57 games. Chychrun is one point from equaling his NHL career high for points (47), which he set last regular season.
