Sergachev notched two assists, five shots on goal, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-2 win over the Wild.

This was his first multi-point effort since Jan. 24, when he had three helpers versus the Predators. Sergachev's first assist was on Logan Cooley's shorthanded tally, and he also set up a Barrett Hayton power-play marker in the third period. Sergachev is up to 41 points (nine goals, 32 helpers), including 17 on the power play and two while shorthanded. He's added 122 shots on net, 97 blocked shots, 28 hits and a plus-3 rating over 59 appearances in a top-pairing role.

Schmaltz registered two assists, three shots on goal and two PIM in Friday's 5-2 win over the Wild.

Schmaltz has three multi-point efforts over his last four games, totaling four goals and four assists in that span. The 30-year-old has been excellent for much of the campaign, aside from one rough patch in late November. He's now at 55 points (23 goals, 32 assists) with 141 shots on net, 37 blocked shots and a plus-21 rating through 59 appearances. He's on pace to shatter his career high of 63 points from 82 games last season.

Hayton scored a power-play goal on three shots in Friday's 5-2 win over the Wild.

Hayton ended a five-game goal drought with his tally at 1:19 of the third period. He had points in six of the Mammoth's seven contests before the Olympic break before being held scoreless when play resumed Wednesday versus the Avalanche. The 25-year-old is up to eight goals, 22 points (six on the power play), 102 shots on net, 25 hits, 44 PIM and a plus-8 rating through 54 appearances this season.

Cooley scored a shorthanded goal on three shots, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-2 win over the Wild.

Cooley has a goal and an assist over two games since he returned from a long-term lower-body injury. He's up to 15 goals, 25 points, 35 hits, 22 PIM and a plus-9 rating over 31 appearances. Cooley's a big player for the Mammoth to get back for the stretch run as they look to maintain their hold on a wild-card spot.

Keller scored a goal on two shots and added two assists in Friday's 5-2 win over the Wild.

Keller extended his point streak to four games (two goals, six assists). The 27-year-old forward has earned a power-play helper in each of his last three outings as well. He's up to 18 goals, 40 assists, 17 power-play points, 159 shots on net and a plus-22 rating through 59 appearances in a top-line role.

Crouse scored two goals on five shots and added three hits in Friday's 5-2 win over the Wild.

Crouse's first goal was the game-winner, and he added an insurance tally in the third period. The 28-year-old has earned three goals and two assists over four outings in February, filling a top-line role at even strength. He's up to 16 goals, 31 points, 99 shots on net, 151 hits and a plus-21 rating through 58 appearances. He's on pace to top the 40-point mark for the third time in four years, and he could also take a run at 200 hits for the first time since 2019-20.

Vejmelka stopped 21 of 23 shots in Friday's 5-2 win over the Wild.

Vejmelka has won three of his four outings in February. The 29-year-old netminder was not played in Czechia's run at the Olympics, so he should be fairly well-rested for the Mammoth's stretch run. The 29-year-old has made a league-high 46 starts, going 28-15-2 with a 2.60 GAA and a .901 save percentage. Vejmelka could be back between the pipes for Sunday's game versus the Blackhawks, and the Mammoth have no back-to-back sets until March 9-10, so he should see plenty of playing time next week.

Schmidt scored a goal and added two assists in WHL Seattle's 4-1 win over Vancouver on Friday.

Schmidt has logged four multi-point efforts over his last nine games. He's up to 41 goals and 87 points through 61 appearances between the Thunderbirds and the Giants after haunting his former team Friday. Schmidt continues to be a superb threat for scoring and playmaking at the junior level.

Ravensbergen posted a 21-save shutout in WHL Prince George's 4-0 win over Saskatoon on Friday.

This was his third shutout of the WHL season. Ravensbergen is up to 26-12-0 with a 2.52 GAA and a .919 save percentage through 39 appearances. He's expected to go to Michigan State University in 2026-27, which is a good landing spot if the team retains most of its talent from this season.

Namestnikov (lower body) won't finish Friday's game versus the Ducks.

Namestnikov was limited to 3:51 of ice time in this contest prior to the injury. He should be considered questionable for Sunday's game versus the Sharks. Walker Duehr would likely draw into the lineup if Namestnikov misses time.
