Caleb Desnoyers - Six-point eruption for Wildcats Desnoyers scored twice and added four assists in QMJHL Moncton's 8-2 win over Val-d'Or on Thursday.

Impact Desnoyers has been superb this month, and this was his best effort yet. He has seven goals and 23 points over nine outings in February, more than one-third of his 62-point production through a mere 35 appearances. Desnoyers' strong play has helped Moncton move to the top of the QMJHL standings, and he continues to show excellent skills as an 18-year-old.

Mackenzie Blackwood - Receiving start Thursday Blackwood will guard the home goal versus the Wild on Thursday.

Impact Blackwood will play the second half of a back-to-back after Scott Wedgewood earned a 4-2 win over the Mammoth on Wednesday. Prior to the Olympic break, Blackwood went 3-3-0 with 13 goals allowed on 150 shots over his previous six outings. He's been pretty good this season, but the Wild will be a tough test.

Victor Olofsson - Puts away goal in win Olofsson scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Mammoth.

Impact Olofsson ended his six-game point drought with the tally. The Avalanche are about as healthy as they've been all season, so expect Olofsson to fill a third-line role with power-play time going forward. He has 11 goals, 25 points, 105 shots on net and a plus-4 rating over 56 appearances this season, a little behind his 29-point effort from the same number of outings with Vegas in the 2024-25 regular season.

Brock Nelson - Reaches 30-goal mark Nelson scored a goal on four shots in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Mammoth.

Impact Nelson had 18 points over 14 contests in January, and the American Olympian has added two goals in three NHL outings in February. The 34-year-old reached the 30-goal mark Wednesday, doing so for the fourth time in the last five years -- all since his age-29 campaign after falling short of the milestone in his first eight NHL seasons. He's at 50 points, 129 shots on net, 43 blocked shots, 28 hits and a plus-8 rating across 56 appearances in his first full campaign with the Avalanche.

Logan Cooley - Draws assist in return Cooley logged an assist in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Cooley missed 28 games due to a lower-body injury. The 21-year-old center will resume a top-six role and should have significant upside in fantasy for the rest of the campaign if he can stay healthy. He's at 24 points, 60 shots on net, 34 hits, 22 PIM and a plus-7 rating across 30 appearances this season.

Dylan Guenther - Lights lamp twice Wednesday Guenther scored two goals, including one on the power play, in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Guenther scored a goal in the Mammoth's last game before the break, and he continues to deliver time and time again for Utah. The 22-year-old forward is on pace to best his career-best mark of 60 points, established in 2024-25, if he stays healthy. He's up to 49 points (27 goals, 22 assists) in 56 games in 2025-26.

Parker Kelly - Scores, assists in win Kelly recorded a goal and an assist in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Mammoth.

Impact Kelly was one of two Colorado players who delivered a multi-point performance in this win, with Martin Necas being the other, and the 26-year-old continues to thrive in what has been the best season of his NHL career. Kelly, who has five goals and seven points over his last 10 appearances despite holding a bottom-six role, eclipsed the 20-point threshold for the first time in his career. He's up to 23 points (13 goals, 10 assists) this season. He's one helper away from matching his personal-best output in that category as well.
