GAME LOG
Robert Flinton - Tallies twice Saturday Flinton scored two goals in AHL Syracuse's 5-0 win over Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Saturday.
Impact Flinton has done almost nothing in the AHL this season -- he hadn't gotten on the scoresheet since Nov. 1. He has just three goals on 23 shots over 27 appearances for the Crunch in his first full professional season. Given the lack of offense, he won't be making his NHL debut any time soon.

Brandon Halverson - Fourth shutout of AHL season Halverson posted a 16-save shutout in AHL Syracuse's 5-0 win over Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Saturday.
Impact Halverson is up to four shutouts in 26 appearances this season, one shy of his shutout total from 43 games in the 2024-25 regular season. He's added a 16-6-3 record with a 2.31 GAA and a .907 save percentage. Halverson remains an effective option for organizational depth, but he won't see much action with the Lightning as long as Andrei Vasilevskiy and Jonas Johansson stay healthy.

Zemgus Girgensons - Two helpers in Olympic win Girgensons picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Latvia's 4-3 win over Germany in Olympic round-robin action Saturday.
Impact The veteran center had a hand in tallies by Dans Locmelis in the first period and Eduards Tralmaks in the third as Latvia won its first game of the tournament. Girgensons has three points, all assists, through his first two Olympic games after producing seven goals and 14 points in 48 games for the Lightning this season.
FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE
Ethan Czata - Hat trick, assist in OHL win Czata scored three goals and added an assist in OHL Niagara's 6-3 win over Owen Sound on Thursday.
Impact This was Czata's best game of the season and his second hat trick. He's recorded five goals and seven assists during an eight-game point streak, his best stretch of the campaign. He has a career-high 22 goals, but his playmaking has dropped with just 17 assists so far this season, giving him 39 points in 48 appearances. That matches his 0.81 points-per-game pace from the 2024-25 regular season, when he had 21 goals and 34 helpers in 68 contests.
FEBRUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE
J.J. Moser - Two points in win Moser recorded a goal and an assist in Switzerland's 4-0 win over France in the 2026 Winter Olympics on Thursday.
Impact Moser gave the Swiss team a 2-0 lead in the early stages of the first period, and then he participated in Timo Meier's fourth goal at the 16:13 mark of the final frame. Moser will have to be far more focused on the defensive side of the puck in the next game, however, with a tough matchup against Canada scheduled for Friday.
FEBRUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE
Sam O'Reilly - Two of each Tuesday for Kitchener O'Reilly scored twice and added two assists in OHL Kitchener's 5-2 win over London on Tuesday.
Impact O'Reilly has six multi-point efforts over his last 12 games, though he's also been held scoreless three times in that span. He's stepped up with Kitchener, earning 20 points in 14 outings since he was traded from London. Overall, he's at 21 goals, 48 points and a plus-6 rating across 42 contests between the two junior clubs.

Mitchell Chaffee - Pots pair Saturday for Crunch Chaffee scored two goals in AHL Syracuse's 5-2 win over Belleville on Saturday.
Impact Chaffee moved above a point-per-game pace with this effort. He has 14 goals, 21 helpers, 87 shots and 35 PIM through 34 outings for the Crunch this season. He also saw seven contests with the Lightning to begin the campaign, but Chaffee hasn't seen the NHL ranks since he was waived Oct. 27.

Ethan Gauthier - Pots pair in AHL win Gauthier scored twice in AHL Syracuse's 5-3 win over Belleville on Friday.
Impact Gauthier's rookie year in the AHL has been a quiet one. He has six goals, 12 points, 37 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over 33 appearances for the Crunch. The 21-year-old winger was a second-round pick in 2023, and it'll likely be at least another year or two before he's in serious contention for NHL minutes.

Victor Hedman - Picks up assist Thursday Hedman recorded an assist, five shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Panthers.
Impact This was Hedman's third game back from an elbow injury that cost him 22 contests. The 35-year-old has been sheltered on the third pairing since his return. He's now at 13 assists, 33 shots on net, 30 blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-2 rating through 21 appearances. He still has potential to be productive, and he'll look to build some momentum while playing for Sweden at the Olympics.
FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE
Erik Cernak - Rare goal in win Cernak scored a goal on two shots and added four hits in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Panthers.
Impact Cernak scored for the first time since April 28, 2025, which was a playoff game versus the Panthers. This was his first regular-season tally since Feb. 27, 2025 against the Flames. The 28-year-old defenseman has had a tough year on offense with seven points, 32 shots on net, 73 hits, 67 blocked shots, 41 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 36 appearances.

Impact Girgensons ended a 12-game goal drought, a span in which he had five assists. His tally Thursday stood as the game-winner for the Lightning, his first such goal this season. Overall, the Latvian forward is up to 14 points, 62 shots, 128 hits, 28 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 48 contests. He has primarily played in a bottom-six role this season.

Impact Hagel set the tone early with his goal 2:08 into the contest. He's racked up five goals and 13 points, as well as 31 shots on net and a plus-4 rating, over his last 10 outings. For the season, the 27-year-old winger is at 27 goals, 54 points, 148 shots on net, 39 hits, 28 blocked shots, 37 PIM and a plus-29 rating over 50 games in a top-six role.

Jake Guentzel - Strikes on power play Guentzel scored a power-play goal and added 10 PIM in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Panthers.
Impact Guentzel has earned six goals and seven assists over his last nine outings. The 31-year-old has also played down the middle recently due to the absences of Anthony Cirelli (undisclosed), Brayden Point (lower body) and Nick Paul (undisclosed). Guentzel is a natural winger, and that's likely where he'll be for Team USA during the Olympics. Guentzel has amassed 26 goals, 60 points, 142 shots on net, 33 PIM, 30 blocked shots, 23 hits and a plus-13 rating over 55 appearances in an all-situations role for the Lightning this season.

Darren Raddysh - Six-game, 10-point streak Raddysh delivered an assist in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Panthers.
Impact Raddysh extended his point streak to six games (five goals, five assists). Yes, we keep waiting for him to crash back to earth, and there are no signs of such implosion. Raddysh looks real this season. He has 17 goals, 35 assists, 20 power-play points, 129 shots and a plus 17 rating. His 13.4 shooting percentage is bound to crash at some point, but enjoy the run until it does.
FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE
Nikita Kucherov - Streak at 10 games, 24 points Kucherov picked up an assist Thursday in a 6-1 win over the Panthers.
Impact It extended his point streak to 10 games (six goals, 18 assists). Kucherov is a generational talent. He is just nine points from the century mark in points; he has done it in just 51 games (91 points).
FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE
Oliver Bjorkstrand - Three-game goal streak Bjorkstrand had a goal and an assist in a 6-1 win over Florida on Thursday.
Impact Bjorkstrand scored his third goal in as many games (one assist; nine shots). Two of the goals have come on the power play. Bjorkstrand was a pre-draft sleeper pick who toe-picked out of the gate. But he's slowly warming up. He can help in dailies while warm.
FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE
Pontus Holmberg - Rare multi-point game Holmberg had a goal and an assist in a 6-1 win over Florida on Thursday.
Impact It was Holmberg's first multi-point game since Oct. 28, and the points were his first in eight games (11 shots). He has nine goals, eight assists, a plus-9 rating and 66 shots in 48 games this season. Holmberg now flies to Italy to represent Sweden at the 2026 Winter Olympic Games.
FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE
Andrei Vasilevskiy - Unbeaten in last eight games Vasilevskiy made 33 saves in a 6-1 win over Florida on Thursday.
Impact Ho hum, another game, another win. Vasilevskiy win streak now stands at eight games (13 goals allowed). And he hasn't lost in regulation since Dec. 18 (16-0-1). Vasilevskiy is an impressive 27-7-3 with a 2.11 GAA and .920. How dominant has he been? He began the season with a 0-3-2 record and 17 goals allowed in hiis first five starts. And now Vasy gets to rest and recover during the break, so he's fresh to carry his squad toward a date with Lord Stanley.
