Samuel Hlavaj - Headed to semifinals Hlavaj stopped 25 shots in Slovakia's 6-2 win over Germany during the quarterfinals of the Olympic men's hockey tournament Wednesday.

Impact The Wild prospect got plenty of help from his offense, as Slovakia built a 4-0 lead before Hlavaj finally saw a puck get past him late in the second period. The 24-year-old netminder has been as impressive as his team in the tournament, allowing six goals on 116 shots (.948 save percentage) as Slovakia looks to medal for a second straight Olympics after winning bronze at Beijing in 2022, a year when NHL players weren't involved.

Impact Kiersted has a goal and six points in 31 outings with AHL Iowa in 2025-26. He also has an assist in four appearances with Minnesota this season.

Impact Gleason has a goal and 17 points in 44 outings with AHL Iowa this season. The 27-year-old hasn't played in the NHL since the 2018-19 regular season. Although he'll participate in practices during the Olympic break, Gleason will probably return to the minors without playing for Minnesota.

Impact Jones has two goals and eight helpers over his last six AHL outings. For the season, he's at 16 points in 15 outings for Iowa, as well as two points in 26 games for Minnesota at the NHL level. Jones would likely be considered for a call-up if the injury bug bites the Wild again.

Tyler Pitlick - Logs three points in AHL loss Pitlick scored twice and added an assist in AHL Iowa's 8-6 loss to Springfield on Saturday.

Impact Pitlick has earned four points over two games since he returned to the AHL. He has eight points over seven contests with Iowa this season. The Wild's numerous injuries at the NHL level have kept Pitlick in a depth role for the big club for much of the campaign, but he's earned just two goals in 31 contests for Minnesota.

Samuel Hlavaj - Can't weather storm against Sweden Hlavaj made 46 saves in Slovakia's 5-3 loss to Sweden in Olympic round-round action Saturday.

Impact Slovakie got out-shot 51-32 on the day, but Hlavaj came up with a number of big saves to keep his team in the game. The 24-year-old Wild prospect helped propel Slovakia to a 2-1 record in the round robin, allowing six goals on 91 shots in his two starts, but whether the team gets a bye to the quarterfinals or will have to play in the qualification round Tuesday hinges on the result of Finland's final round-robin game against Italy.

Hlavaj has spent most of the 2025-26 campaign at AHL Iowa, where he is 5-9-4 with a 3.24 GAA and an .884 save percentage over 18 starts. Sweden has their backs against the wall Saturday, and will likely need to defeat Slovakia by two goals to guarantee advancement into the quarter-finals.

Filip Gustavsson - Falls to Finland Gustavsson stopped 20 of 23 shots in Sweden's 4-1 loss to Finland on Friday in Olympic round-robin action, with Finland's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

Impact The 27-year-old netminder got out-played by Juuse Saros in the other crease, but Gustavsson also didn't get a lot of support as Sweden's only goal was scored by Rasmus Dahlin on a second-period power play. After allowing five goals on 45 shots in his first two Olympic outings, Gustavsson will get a breather Saturday against Slovakia, with Jacob Markstrom or Jesper Wallstedt expected to be between the pipes.

The Finns have their backs against the wall after dropping a 4-1 decision to Slovakia on Wednesday.

Filip Gustavsson - Cruises to win over Italy Gustavsson made 20 saves in Sweden's 5-2 win over Italy in Olympic round-robin play Wednesday.

Impact The game was surprisingly close through two periods despite an overwhelming shot advantage for Sweden, but the favorites pulled away in the third and wound up out-shooting Italy 59-22. Gustavsson appears set as the No. 1 netminder for Sweden, and coach Sam Hallam indicated he would be between the pipes again Friday against Finland, with either Jacob Markstrom or Gustavsson's teammate with the Wild, Jesper Wallstedt, getting the nod Saturday versus Slovakia.

Samuel Hlavaj - Shines in Olympic debut Hlavaj stopped 39 of 40 shots in Slovakia's 4-1 win over Finland on Wednesday in the preliminary round of the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Impact Hlavaj had the daunting task of dealing with a Finnish offense that featured elite talent such as Mikko Rantanen, Roope Hintz, Miro Heiskanen and Sebastian Aho, but he was only beaten once while carrying Slovakia to an upset win. He'll aim to carry this form into the team's second game of the round robin, where they'll take on Italy on Friday, Feb. 13.

Filip Gustavsson - Expected to start Wednesday Contrary to a previous report, Gustavsson is expected to start for Sweden against Italy on Wednesday at the 2026 Winter Olympics, per Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press.

Impact Jacob Markstrom initially looked like he would get the start, but it now seems he'll serve as the understudy. Gustavsson has a 20-9-6 record, 2.64 GAA and .906 save percentage in 36 outings with Minnesota in 2025-26. The 27-year-old Gustavsson is set to face the host nation. However, Italy doesn't include any players who are presently on an NHL roster, and the Italians are regarded as heavy underdogs going into this match.
