Ivan Ivan - Picks up three points Ivan scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Colorado's 6-3 win over Coachella Valley on Saturday.

Impact Ivan snapped a nine-game point drought with the effort. He's picked up just 14 points in 44 outings this season for the Eagles. He also has one assist in seven NHL contests, but if he can't show more offense in the AHL, his opportunities with the big club could disappear.

Alex Barre-Boulet - Collects four points in AHL win Barre-Boulet scored a goal and added three assists in AHL Colorado's 6-3 win over Coachella Valley on Saturday.

Impact Barre-Boulet is third in the AHL with 51 points in just 48 appearances. He's earned three goals and five assists over six outings in February. Barre-Boulet will likely spend much of the rest of the campaign in the AHL unless injuries take a toll on the Avalanche's NHL roster.

Jason Polin - Deposits two goals Polin scored twice in AHL Colorado's 6-3 win over Coachella Valley on Saturday.

Impact Polin has posted nine goals and 17 points over 35 AHL outings this season. He also made two appearances with the Avalanche earlier in the campaign. The 26-year-old's modest scoring numbers likely mean he won't see many additional chances for the big club.

Francesco Dell'Elce - Earns three points in win Dell'Elce scored a goal and added two assists in UMass's 4-0 win over the University of New Hampshire on Friday.

Impact Dell'Elce is up to four goals and 16 helpers through 29 appearances this season. He had 24 points in 40 games a year ago, so he's picked up the pace just a bit. The 2025 third-round pick of the Avalanche is likely to have a longer developmental timeline, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him use all of his NCAA eligibility before signing his entry-level deal.

He struck the back of the net on a power play early in the second period to give Czechia the first goal of the game before he later helped out on the team's second goal. With the two-point outing, Necas is up to three goals, four assists, seven points and a plus-one rating across four Olympic appearances. The star forward will likely need to post another multi-point game if Czechia is to advance past Canada in the quarterfinals Wednesday.

Martin Necas - Three points against Switzerland Necas scored a goal, recorded two assists and fired seven shots on net in Czechia's 4-3 overtime loss to Switzerland in Olympic round-robin play Sunday.

Impact Necas stuffed the stat sheet in Sunday's loss as he assisted two goals before finding the back of the net himself with just over two minutes remaining in regulation to send the game to overtime. He also fired seven shots on net and should continue to lead Czechia's offense alongside David Pastrnak when bracket play begins. Currently, Necas is tied for third in the Olympics with five points and has a small chance to lead the tournament in points if Czechia can make a run at the gold medal game.

Artturi Lehkonen - Part of history with Olympic win Lehkonen had a goal and two assists in Team Finland's 11-0 win over Team Italy at the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 on Saturday.

Impact Lehkonen was part of history Saturday. Team Finland had 12 players with multiple points and that marks the most in a single game by a country at an Olympics with NHL participation. The previous record was eight. Lehkonen arrived at the Olympics on the heels of putting up 42 points, including 19 goals, in 55 games for the Avs. He's having a career year and is on pace to top 60 points for the first time in his 10-season NHL career.

Christian Humphreys - Posts three more points Humphreys scored a goal and added two assists in OHL Kitchener's 4-2 win over Kingston on Friday.

Impact Humphreys is up to 21 goals and 70 points through 50 appearances this season. He's earned five goals and five helpers over his last four games, showing a little more of a finishing touch recently. The Avalanche prospect will be at a pivotal point in his career this offseason -- he has yet to sign his entry-level deal, so he could go to the NCAA, or he could opt to capitalize on his breakout campaign by signing and making the jump to the AHL in 2026-27.

The 29-year-old forward served in a top-six role for Switzerland in each of the team's first two games of Olympic action.

Brock Nelson shines on 'another big stage' for the US at the Olympics

Brock Nelson is the fifth member of his family to play hockey for the U.S. at the Olympics

FEBRUARY 13 • Associated Press

Brock Nelson - Nets two goals against Latvia Nelson scored two goals and placed three shots on net in the United States' 5-1 win over Latvia in Olympic round-robin play Thursday.

Impact Nelson caught fire in the United States' opening contest for the Olympic tournament with a pair of goals in the second period, which included Thursday's go-ahead goal. The two-goal performance could have been even larger, but he was denied two goals late in the first period due to a ricocheted shot off the post and goalie interference committed by his linemate J.T. Miller. Before the Olympic break, Nelson led the NHL with 15 goals since Dec. 29, and his two-goal effort Thursday proved that his hot hand hasn't disappeared. The 34-year-old center has the potential to steal the show at the Olympics with his current scoring pace across all competitions.
