Schmidt scored two goals in WHL Seattle's 3-2 overtime win over Portland on Friday.

Schmidt reached the 40-goal mark on the year with this effort, which included the game-winning tally. He's up to 83 points in 57 appearances between the Thunderbirds and Giants in WHL play this season, though his offense has taken a small dip since he joined Seattle. The Stars prospect has still played at a high level overall.

Ostman logged a 19-save shutout in AHL Coachella Valley's 2-0 win over Colorado on Friday.

Ostman held the fort until the Firebirds broke through at 17:30 of the third period. For the season, Ostman is 12-11-3 with a 2.78 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 26 games. This was his second shutout of the campaign and the third of his AHL career.

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.

Halverson posted a 25-save shutout in AHL Syracuse's 4-0 win over Charlotte on Friday.

Halverson notched his second shutout in his last three outings, and he's won five starts in a row. He's matched his career high for shutouts in a season with five this year. He's 18-6-3 with a 2.18 GAA and a .912 save percentage over 28 appearances.

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.

Smith scored a goal and added two assists in Penn State's 11-4 win over Ohio State University on Friday.

Smith is up to 11 goals and 22 points through 27 outings. He continues to impress as a scorer, matching his goal total from 68 regular-season games with WHL Tri-City last year. The Blue Jackets prospect has just a plus-3 rating, indicating he still has work to do in his own zone, but there's no doubting his offense.

Beckman recorded a 29-save shutout in QMJHL Chicoutimi's 3-0 win over Rouyn-Noranda on Friday.

Beckman picked up his first shutout in six appearances with the Sagueneens, a span in which he's gone 5-1-0. For the season, he's 9-15-3 with three shutouts, a 2.91 GAA and a .913 save percentage over 29 appearances between Chicoutimi and Baie-Comeau, where he started the season. Beckman's performance has been much better for Chicoutimi, which is one of the best teams in the Q.

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

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.

Tkachuk recorded a goal and an assist in the United States' 6-2 win over Slovakia in the semifinals of the 2026 Winter Olympics on Friday.

Tkachuk is up to three goals and five points in five games at the tournament ahead of facing Canada in the gold-medal game Sunday.
