Jacob Lucchini - Inks one-year extension Lucchini agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way contract extension with Nashville on Monday.

Impact Lucchini is having a great season with AHL Milwaukee, racking up 13 goals and 25 helpers in 48 games this year. Given his offensive upside, the Michigan Tech product could see some minutes at the NHL level before the end of the 2025-26 campaign and could be in the mix for an Opening Night roster spot next year.

Zachary L'Heureux - Summoned from minors L'Heureux was recalled from AHL MIlwaukee by the Predators, the team announced Sunday.

Impact Roster moves are starting to flow a bit more freely league-wide as teams come out of the Olympic break, and among those moves is the recall of L'Heureux by the Predators. The 22-year-old has spent some time in the NHL this season, but he has yet to suit up for a game. He has played well with AHL Milwaukee this season, recording 28 points (14 goals, 14 assists) in 28 games played.

Impact Marques reached the 20-point mark on the year with this effort, though he has slowed down significantly after a better start to the season. He also has a plus-12 rating over 29 appearances. The Nashville prospect will need to show a bit more consistency on offense to bolster his long-term outlook, but he has plenty of time to work on that.

Erik Haula - Nets two goals against Slovakia Haula scored two goals and placed three shots on net during Finland's 6-1 win over Slovakia in the Olympic bronze medal game Saturday.

Impact Haula was incredibly active in the second period, where he posted a two-minute minor penalty before he scored his first goal. The latter of his two twine finders was an empty netter for Finland's sixth and final goal of the game. The 34-year-old Haula finished the Olympics with three goals and six points, which is currently tied for 11th in the tournament. He'll return to Nashville with a bronze medal and could be in for a solid stretch of NHL play if he can maintain the momentum he built up during the Olympics.

Juuse Saros - Strong outing in bronze medal game Saros stopped 30 of 31 shots on net during Finland's 6-1 win over Slovakia in the Olympic bronze medal game Saturday.

Impact Saros put together a phenomenal performance to help Finland earn hardware, allowing just one goal late in the second period. Across his six starts at the Olympics, the 30-year-old goalie posted a 4-2-0 record, a .940 save percentage and a 1.66 GAA. He'll look to carry his excellent run of play into NHL action with Nashville, where he has had an up-and-down season.

Juuse Saros - Gets starting nod Saturday Saros will start for Finland in the Olympic bronze medal game Saturday against Slovakia, per Leijonat.com on X.

Impact Finland will turn to Saros for the sixth consecutive time to start in Milan. Despite his strong performance that resulted in a loss against Canada in the semi-finals, the 30-year-old netminder has excelled at the Olympics with a 1.80 GAA and a .934 save percentage across five starts. Saros gives Finland a strong chance to take home the bronze medal, but it will be no easy task while facing Slovakia, who rank fourth at the Olympics with 18 goals forced as a team.

Aiden Fink - Five-point game for Penn State Fink scored a goal and added four assists in Penn State's 11-4 win over Ohio State University on Friday.

Impact Fink is up to six goals and 21 assists through 22 outings this season. He's maintained at least a point-per-game pace in each of his three collegiate seasons, though he's unlikely to come near the 53-point campaign he had in 2024-25. The Nashville prospect, a seventh-round pick from 2023, has proven himself wise to choose the NCAA over junior hockey, but it's unclear if he'll go pro after Penn State's season ends.

Ryker Lee - Nets two goals Friday Lee scored two goals in Michigan State University's 8-2 win over the University of Notre Dame on Friday.

Impact Lee has compiled 11 goals and 24 points over 28 appearances for the Spartans this season. It's a decent performance on the whole, though he's had some quiet stretches and hasn't had the room to dominate on a highly talented team. Lee will likely require multiple years of development in the NCAA and/or AHL before he'll be an option for the Predators.

Juuse Saros - Lead slips away in semis Saros made 36 saves in Finland's 3-2 loss to Canada in the Olympic men's hockey semifinals Friday.

Impact Finland took a 2-0 lead early in the second period, but Canada kept the pressure up and eventually got three pucks past Saros, two of them on power plays. The Predators netminder has been a big part of his team's push for a medal, and he'll likely be between the pipes again Saturday as Finland faces Slovakia for the bronze.

Juuse Saros - Facing Canada Saros will patrol the Finnish crease versus Canada in semifinals action Friday at the 2026 Winter Olympics, according to Ethan Sears of the New York Post.

Impact Saros gave up three goals on 24 shots in an opening round loss to Slovakia, but the 30-year-old has been outstanding since then while turning aside 70 of 73 shots to enable Finland to make it to the semifinals. Canada enters the game as the favorite, but will be without the services of Sidney Crosby (lower body).

Matt Murray - Called up by Nashville Murray was recalled from AHL Milwaukee on Thursday.

Impact The Predators have resumed practicing during the final week of the Olympic break, and Murray's recall will allow him to serve as the team's goaltender during practice until Juuse Saros returns from the Olympics. However, Murray will presumably head back to the Admirals ahead of Nashville's game against Chicago on Feb. 26. Over 29 appearances with Milwaukee this year, Murray has gone 12-14-2 with a 2.86 GAA and .904 save percentage.

Juuse Saros - Drawing start against Switzerland Saros will start for Finland during Wednesday's quarterfinal matchup against Switzerland at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Impact After a shaky start to the Olympics in which he allowed three goals on 24 shots in a loss to Slovakia, Saros has settled down over his last two outings, turning aside 49 of the 50 shots he's seen in starts against Sweden and Italy. Saros will attempt to remain hot Wednesday in an attempt to propel Finland to the semifinals.

Alex Huang - Five points in Sunday's win Huang scored a goal and added four assists in QMJHL Chicoutimi's 9-1 win over Rimouski on Sunday.

Impact Huang had gone 14 games without a multi-point effort, spanning all of January and February prior to Sunday. This was his second five-point performance of the season.

Roman Josi - One of each against Czechia Josi scored a goal, distributed an assist and placed three shots on net in Switzerland's 4-3 overtime win over Czechia in Olympic round-robin play Sunday.

Impact Josi stole the show in the second period with both of his points occurring late in the period. He struck the back of the net to level the score at one apiece before sliding the primary helper on Timo Meier's power-play goal to take a 2-1 lead headed into the third period. Across round-robin play, Josi is up to three points and eight shots on net across three games. He'll likely be relied upon for more consistent offense if Switzerland is to advance beyond the first round of bracket play in the Olympic tournament.

Juuse Saros - Busiest netminder at Olympics Saros made 15 saves Saturday in Team Finland's 11-0 win over Team Italy at the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026.

Impact Saros had backstopped Finland to a 4-1 win over Sweden on Friday. Finland is now in a strong position to earn the wild card with a plus-11 goal differential, and that would mean a bye to the quarterfinals. That's great news for Saros, who has played 178:49 in the tournament -- that's the most of any netminder. He's 2-1-0 with a 1.34 GAA and .946 save percentage in three games started.
