Woll (flu) missed practice Thursday.

Woll won his last two starts prior to the Olympic break, raising his record to 13-7-4 with a 2.92 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 25 appearances this season. He is expected to be ready to go Feb. 25 when the Maple Leafs return to action in Tampa Bay.

Groulx was called up from AHL Toronto on Thursday.

Groulx was recalled because Max Domi will miss Thursday's practice due to personal reasons. Groulx is having a strong season with the AHL Marlies, tallying 22 goals and 20 assists across 47 games. He will likely be returned to AHL Toronto before the NHL resumes action next Wednesday.

Shine was recalled from AHL Grand Rapids on Thursday.

Shine hasn't yet appeared in an NHL game this year, but he'll have an opportunity to practice with the Red Wings during the final week of the Olympic break. It wouldn't be surprising to see him head back to the minors before Detroit resumes play. Over 35 games with the Griffins this year, he's recorded 21 goals, 15 assists, 32 PIM and a plus-23 rating.

Dries was recalled from AHL Grand Rapids on Thursday.

The 31-year-old journeyman has 18 goals and 34 points in 40 AHL games this season. Dries has played 122 games at the NHL level over parts of five seasons, though he has yet to suit up for the Red Wings in 2025-26.

Howe scored twice in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 7-2 win over Springfield on Wednesday.

This was Howe's first multi-point effort of his AHL career. The 20-year-old forward has four points in six outings since he made his professional debut following knee surgery he underwent last April. Howe will likely spend the rest of this season and most or all of 2026-27 in the AHL at a minimum to continue his development.

Koivunen scored twice in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 7-2 win over Springfield on Wednesday.

Koivunen has four goals and six assists over his last five games. He's earned four multi-point efforts in that span. The Finnish forward is up to nine goals, 29 points and a plus-10 rating over 23 AHL appearances this season. He's also put up five points in 27 NHL contests and could be a candidate for a call-up later in the season.

Hayes scored three goals in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 7-2 win over Springfield on Wednesday.

Hayes has eight goals and an assist over six AHL outings in February. The forward could be a candidate to rejoin Pittsburgh after the Olympic break, especially if Sidney Crosby's leg injury costs him some time. Hayes has 19 goals and 30 points in 35 AHL contests this season.

Regula was assigned to AHL Bakersfield on a conditioning stint Wednesday.

Regula will get up to two weeks to get some game action with the Condors. Prior to the Olympic break, the 25-year-old defenseman was scratched for 11 of 12 contests. He has three assists and a minus-16 rating over 29 appearances this season, so he could have a tough time getting into the Oilers' lineup if the team's blue line stays healthy.

Mrazek underwent season-ending hip surgery Tuesday.

Mrazek's campaign with the Ducks ends with a 3-5-0 record, a 4.07 GAA and an .858 save percentage in 10 appearances. Given his lengthy injury history and the severity of a hip surgery, the 34-year-old goalie may not be ready to play at the start of the 2026-27 campaign. He'll likely also face reduced demand during free agency since he'll be coming off an injury and has seen his performance decline in recent years.

Marner scored the overtime winner in Canada's 4-3 victory over Czechia in the Olympic men's hockey quarterfinals Wednesday.

It was the Vegas winger's first goal of the tournament, and it came in spectacular fashion -- Marner took a drop pass from Macklin Celebrini at his own blue line, built up a head of steam and split all three Czech skaters before flipping a backhand shot past Lukas Dostal. Marner is up to five points in four games for Canada during his first Olympics as the team heads into the semifinals.
