Portillo was summoned from AHL Ontario on Thursday.

The Kings need two goaltenders at practice, and with Darcy Kuemper with Team Canada at the Winter Olympics the team recalled Portillo to participate in practice with Anton Forsberg. Portillo has starred with the AHL Reign this season, posting a 13-3-1 mark with a 2.45 GAA and a .905 save percentage across 19 appearances.

Dickinson left Thursday's practice session early due to an illness, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Dickinson has missed just one game since mid-November, and he's recorded six goals, seven assists, 45 hits, 33 blocked shots and 10 PIM while averaging 15:43 of ice time over 43 appearances this season. The Blackhawks don't resume play until Feb. 26 against the Predators, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Dickinson recover in time to suit up for that matchup.

Hathaway didn't participate in Thursday's practice session due to an illness, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Hathaway has appeared in 47 games for the Flyers this year, recording a goal, an assist, 183 hits, 52 PIM and 35 blocked shots while averaging 10:17 of ice time. He'll have nearly a week to recover before Philadelphia faces Washington on Wednesday, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him available for that matchup.

Murray was recalled from AHL Milwaukee on Thursday.

The Predators have resumed practicing during the final week of the Olympic break, and Murray's recall will allow him to serve as the team's goaltender during practice until Juuse Saros returns from the Olympics. However, Murray will presumably head back to the Admirals ahead of Nashville's game against Chicago on Feb. 26. Over 29 appearances with Milwaukee this year, Murray has gone 12-14-2 with a 2.86 GAA and .904 save percentage.

Monahan (illness) returned to practice Thursday after missing Wednesday's skate, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

Monahan had a lackluster start to the season, tallying 10 goals and 17 assists in 52 appearances this season. The 31-year-old managed 19 goals and 57 points in 52 games during the 2024-25 regular season.

Saros stopped 21 of 23 shots in Finland's 3-2 overtime win over Switzerland in the Olympic quarterfinals Wednesday.

Saros allowed two goals in the first period, with both goals coming within a span of 1:26, but he was excellent the rest of the way. Saros is expected to remain the starter for Finland in a tough matchup against Canada on Friday in the semifinals.

Lehkonen scored the game-winning goal in Finland's 3-2 overtime win over Switzerland in the Olympic quarterfinals Wednesday.

The Avalanche forward stepped up right when the Finnish team needed him the most, and he came through at the 3:23 mark of overtime to give the Suomi squad a spot in the semifinals. Lehkonen should be one of Finland's most dangerous offensive weapons in the Olympic semifinals against Canada on Friday.

Hellebuyck stopped 28 of 29 shots in the United States' 2-1 win over Sweden in the Olympic quarterfinals Wednesday.

Hellebuyck let a Mika Zibanejad shot past him in the third period, but he was excellent the rest of the way. The Jets' goaltender is firmly entrenched as the United States' No. 1 option between the pipes and should get the starting nod Friday in the semifinals against Slovakia.

Markstrom stopped 38 of 40 shots in Sweden's 2-1 overtime loss to the United States in the Olympic quarterfinals Wednesday.

Markstrom was beaten once in the second period, courtesy of Dylan Larkin, and once more in overtime when Quinn Hughes potted the game-winning goal. Markstrom ends his Olympic run with a 2-0-1 record while stopping 84 of the 90 shots he faced in three contests.

Hughes scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in USA's 2-1 win over Sweden in the Olympic quarterfinals Wednesday.

Hughes entered the Olympics on a 10-game point streak in the NHL and hasn't slowed down while donning the Stars and Stripes jersey, tallying six points (one goal and five assists). He co-leads Team USA in scoring alongside Auston Matthews, who has three goals and three assists to his name.
