Gibson stopped 21 of 24 shots on goal in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Mammoth.

Despite the veteran netminder allowing just one goal across the final two periods, two early strikes from the Mammoth would be enough to seize momentum and grab Wednesday's victory. With the loss, Gibson now has a 22-12-2 record, a 2.62 GAA and a .904 save percentage across 37 appearances this season. After an incredible eight-game win streak spanning across the majority of January, the 32-year-old goaltender has lost four of his last five outings, but he has maintained a solid 2.59 GAA in that span. With 14 appearances since the calendar flipped to 2026, he ranks second in terms of games played among goalies. He'll have the opportunity to rest during the Olympic break, which should help him turn around his recent struggles. Due to his volume of starts and overall production, Gibson remains a top netminder in fantasy moving forward.

Bobrovsky turned aside 25 shots in regulation and overtime and three of four shootout attempts during Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Bruins.

The Panthers took a 4-2 lead into the third period, but Bobrovsky nearly let it slip away, giving up goals to Mark Kastelic and Casey Mittelstadt to force OT. However, the two-time Vezina winner came up big in the clutch, as only Viktor Arvidsson got a puck past him in the shootout. Bobrovsky is likely looking forward to the Olympic break -- over 12 outings since the beginning of January, he's stumbled to a 4-8-0 record with a 3.86 GAA and .833 save percentage.

Lindholm notched two assists in Wednesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Panthers.

The veteran blueliner had a hand in tallies by Michael Eyssimont in the first period and Mark Kastelic in the third to help earn a point for the Bruins. Lindholm is set to represent Team Sweden in the Olympics, and he heads into the tournament with a goal and five points over nine games since returning from an undisclosed injury in mid-January.

Eyssimont scored two goals in Wednesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Panthers.

The journeyman center gave the Bruins a 2-1 lead with consecutive tallies midway through the first period. It was Eyssimont's first multi-goal performance of the season, and he'll head into the Olympic break with eight goals and 17 points through 44 games while mainly skating in a bottom-six role for Boston.

Korpisalo turned aside 22 shots in regulation and overtime and two of four shootout attempts in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to Florida.

A tough second period that saw the Panthers score three special-teams goals on 10 shots -- two power-play tallies and one shortie -- kept Korpisalo from winning the game before it headed into OT, and he then got beaten by Anton Lundell and former Bruin Brad Marchand in the shootout. Korpisalo hasn't taken a regulation loss since Dec. 27, going 4-0-2 over his last seven outings with a 2.20 GAA and .918 save percentage, and he'll take that momentum with him to Milan as he represents Team Finland at the Olympics.

Makar was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Thursday.

Makar suited up in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Sharks but was sent down after the game in order to spend the Olympic break in the minors. In his 12 NHL contests this year, Makar has yet to register a point, recording 17 hits, seven shots and four PIM while averaging just 6:13 of ice time.

Werenski scored the game-winning goal in Wednesday's 4-0 win over Chicago.

Werenski saw his centering attempt early in the first period pinball off Louis Crevier's stick, Alex Vlasic's skate and past Spencer Knight to give Columbus a 1-0 lead, and it proved to be all the support Jet Greaves would need. The goal was also Werenski's 20th of the season, making him the first defenseman in history with 20 goals prior to an Olympic break, per Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch. He's also the third American defenseman ever with consecutive 20-goal campaigns, joining Reed Larson and Hall of Famer Phil Housley. Werenski will now take his talents to Milan with Team USA while riding a seven-game point streak in which he's racked up two goals and 10 points.

Huberdeau will undergo hip surgery, ending his 2025-26 campaign, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports Thursday.

Huberdeau has reportedly been playing through this issue all season and has made the decision to shut it down with Calgary effectively out of playoff contention. The 32-year-old winger will turn his focus to getting ready for the 2026-27 campaign and will end this year having generated 10 goals and 15 helpers in 50 games, the lowest point total of his career.

Coyle picked up two assists in Wednesday's 4-0 win over Chicago.

The veteran center had a hand in tallies by Zach Werenski in the first period and Danton Heinen in the second. Coyle will be sorry to see the NHL shut down for the Olympic break -- over the last six games, he's erupted for five goals and 12 points, and on the season he's now on pace to top the career-high 60 points (25 goals, 35 assists) he recorded for the Bruins in 2023-24.

Greaves made 21 saves in Wednesday's 4-0 win over Chicago.

One night after Elvis Merzlikins recorded a shutout, Greaves answered back with his own. It was Greaves' second clean sheet of the season and the fourth of his career, and he heads into the Olympic break having won six straight decisions dating back to Jan. 11, a stretch in which he's posted a 2.10 GAA and .924 save percentage.
