Jet Greaves Beats Mammoth With 25 Saves

Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Jet Greaves bounced back from three consecutive losses on Sunday with a 3-2 overtime win against the Utah Mammoth. He had 25 saves as Columbus turned a 2-1 deficit into a win with a pair of power-play goals. Graves had won four of five starts before suddenly cooling off at the start of this month. Still, he has enjoyed a good campaign in Columbus, posting a 2.71 goals-against average with a .908 save percentage. If Greaves can keep up these numbers for the rest of the way, his 13-12-6 record is poised to improve.

Roman Josi Ends Dry Spell With Three-Point Effort

Nashville Predators defenseman Roman Josi was instrumental in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Washington Capitals, factoring in on all three of his team's goals. The Predators captain finished with the game-winning goal and added two assists. Two points, including his goal, came on the power play for Josi, who entered Sunday's contest with a four-game scoreless run. It's been a bit of a rocky patch for Josi lately, but he will be pleased to know that his team has upped its level of play in recent weeks. Thanks to an 8-4-0 surge, the Predators are now only two points out of a wild-card position in the Western Conference. Josi has tallied 21 points (six goals, 15 assists) in 33 games this season, while recording 85 shots and 49 blocked shots.

Joonas Korpisalo Shuts Door on Penguins

Boston Bruins goaltender Joonas Korpisalo collected his first shutout of the season on Sunday, stopping 27 shots in a 1-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Korpisalo became the first Bruins netminder in 11 years to shut out Sidney Crosby's squad. The 31-year-old has now won back-to-back starts, improving to 8-8-0 for the season. Korpisalo has allowed 3.20 goals with a .894 save percentage. Jeremy Swayman will probably return to the blue paint on Tuesday against the Detroit Red Wings. In his next outing, however, Korpisalo will have an opportunity to match his longest winning streak of the season.

Jack Hughes Has Two Helpers in Losing Effort

New Jersey Devils forward Jack Hughes registered two assists in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Winnipeg Jets. He helped Cody Glass get a pair of second-period goals. Glass' second goal of the game put New Jersey 3-2 up, but Hughes' crew couldn't stop the rot. Bizarrely, New Jersey has gone 2-7-1 since getting Hughes back from a hand injury. The 24-year-old star forward has produced one goal and six assists in 10 outings since his return. Hughes won't be happy with his recent contributions, as he had a higher scoring rate before his injury. For the season, Hughes has recorded 27 points (11 goals, 16 assists) in 27 games.

Tomas Hertl Matches Vegas Record With Five Points

Vegas Golden Knights forward Tomas Hertl tied the franchise record with five points in Sunday's 7-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks. He was on fire against his former team, scoring two goals and delivering three assists. Hertl's first goal came on the power play. Previously, only Mark Stone had managed as many as five points in a single game for the Golden Knights, doing so in a pair of contests in 2020 and 2021. While Hertl isn't among the most consistent forwards in the world, he is having a strong 2025-26 campaign. Across 44 outings, Hertl has registered 39 points (18 goals, 21 assists), 120 shots, and 55 hits. He has had three multi-point performances in his past four games.

Justin Sourdif Exits With Injury Versus Predators

Washington Capitals forward Justin Sourdif (upper body) was injured in the second period of Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Nashville Predators. He took a puck to the face, leaving the game after logging only 6:17 of ice time. Sourdif recently matched a Capitals rookie record with five points (three goals, two assists) in a game against the Anaheim Ducks. Overall, he has totaled 19 points (nine goals, 10 assists) in 45 outings, tied for the eighth-most among first-year players. Sourdif has been a regular on the second line, while also skating with the second power-play unit. It's unclear whether Sourdif will be available for Tuesday's tilt against the Montreal Canadiens.

Denton Mateychuk Sustains Upper-Body Injury Sunday

Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Denton Mateychuk (upper body) played only one shift in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win against the Utah Mammoth. He exited the game with an upper-body injury after taking a hard hit from Mammoth forward Brandon Tanev. Mateychuk is having a strong sophomore campaign, recording 21 points (eight goals, 13 assists), 52 shots, and 63 blocks in 44 appearances. He has been Zach Werenski's partner on the first defensive pairing. If Mateychuk has to miss time, Columbus will bring Jake Christiansen back into the lineup.

Cole Perfetti Contributes Two Assists in Sunday's Win

Winnipeg Jets forward Cole Perfetti had two assists in Sunday's 4-3 win over the New Jersey Devils. The 24-year-old had both assists in the second period, helping Jonathan Toews and Gabriel Vilardi to score. This was Perfetti's second consecutive multi-assist outing. After picking up only three points in December, Perfetti has looked like a different player this month. Through six January appearances, Perfetti boasts one goal and five assists. Nevertheless, it has still been a disappointing campaign for Perfetti, who has amassed 13 points (three goals, 10 assists) in 30 outings. Perfetti will look to record his first-ever three-game multi-point streak when the Jets face the New York Islanders on Tuesday night.

Carl Grundstrom Misses Sunday's Practice

Philadelphia Flyers right wing Carl Grundstrom (illness) missed Sunday's practice, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. The Swedish forward was dealing with an illness, putting his status for Monday's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning in doubt. Grundstom had an impressive four-game goal streak last month and has lit the lamp seven times in total across 17 appearances this season. He has also contributed one assist while racking up 50 hits. With Travis Konecny (knee) and Bobby Brink (upper body) also hurt, the Flyers may have to start the new week of action without three regular forwards.

Travis Konecny Hurt at Sunday's Practice

Philadelphia Flyers winger Travis Konecny (knee) left Sunday's practice session early, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. The 28-year-old took a puck to his knee. After missing Saturday's loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning due to an upper-body injury, Konecny was back on the ice Sunday wearing a regular jersey. It seems he was on track to suit up for Monday's rematch with the Lightning, but Konecny's status is now uncertain due to the new injury. With Konecny out, Matvei Michkov joined the first line on Saturday but couldn't make a positive impact. He has no points across 17:10 of action, finishing with a minus-three rating.

Thatcher Demko Lands on Injured Reserve

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko (lower body) was placed on Injured Reserve on Sunday. The move came after Demko suffered a lower-body injury in Saturday's 5-0 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Vancouver's No. 1 will sit out at least four games, beginning with Monday's matchup against the Montreal Canadiens. Demko has an 8-10-1 record, a 2.90 goals-against average, a .897 save percentage, and one shutout this season. Kevin Lankinen is set to start the majority of games while Demko is on the mend, with Nikita Tolopilo called up from the AHL to provide cover in the crease.

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Colin Miller (lower body) was injured in Sunday's 4-3 win over the New Jersey Devils. He left in the first period with a lower-body injury after crashing hard into the boards. Miller tried to return for the second frame but wasn't able to play, limping to the locker room. The 33-year-old was desperate to return, as he hasn't had many playing opportunities this season. Miller has been a healthy scratch regularly, skating in only 14 games. Miller has recorded one assist, 16 shots, 10 blocks, and 25 hits.

Boston Bruins forward Morgan Geekie (personal) won't play on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. He left Saturday's 10-2 win over the New York Rangers early to attend to a family matter, and Geekie isn't ready to rejoin the lineup against Pittsburgh. Geekie's absence means that Boston won't have its best goal-scorer in the lineup. The 27-year-old has notched 25 goals and 16 assists in 45 appearances. Michael Eyssimont will take Geekie's spot in the lineup.

Mark Stone Extends Goal Streak With Empty-Netter

Vegas Golden Knights right wing Mark Stone matched a franchise record with a seven-game goal streak in Saturday's 4-2 win over the St. Louis Blues. The Golden Knights captain left it late, but he was able to extend his goal-scoring run with an empty-netter 2:24 from the end of regulation. Max Pacioretty established Vegas' record for most consecutive games with a goal in 2021. Stone, whose work on Saturday included a fight with Brayden Schenn, will attempt to break it on Sunday night against the San Jose Sharks. The veteran forward has been in wonderful form throughout 2025-26, going scoreless in only two of his 27 appearances. He has posted 15 goals and 23 assists.

Nikita Kucherov Has Four-Point Outing Saturday

Tampa Bay Lightning right wing Nikita Kucherov recorded an eighth consecutive multi-point game on Saturday, notching two goals and two assists in a 7-2 road win over the Philadelphia Flyers. He bagged all the points during even-strength play and already had two goals within the opening 6:05 of action. Kucherov has been on a phenomenal run since late December, becoming only the third active player with a multi-point streak of at least eight games. It was last achieved by former Lightning captain Steven Stamkos in 2021-22. The Russian superstar moved to fourth on the NHL's scoring charts, boasting 65 points (22 goals, 43 assists) through 39 appearances.

David Pastrnak Records Six Assists in Big Win

Boston Bruins right wing David Pastrnak racked up six assists in Saturday's 10-2 victory over the New York Rangers. He became the third player in franchise history with as many as six assists in a single game, joining Bobby Orr and Ken Hodge. A Bruins player hadn't had six points in a game since Ray Bourque in 1990. Pastrnak's line was ruthless against the Rangers, combining for 13 points. Marat Khusnutdinov exploded for four goals and one assist. After a six-game losing skid in December, Boston has started to pick up momentum again, with Pastrnak at the heart of it. He has strung together a five-game point streak, posting four goals and 10 assists. The scoring surge has put Pastrnak on track for a fourth consecutive 100-point campaign. He boasts 55 points (19 goals, 36 assists) after 40 games.

Stefan Noesen to Have Knee Surgery

New Jersey Devils winger Stefan Noesen (knee) will be out long-term after undergoing knee surgery next week. The veteran forward will be placed on Injured Reserve. Noesen has made 38 appearances this season, scoring three goals and seven points. His effectiveness has dropped off the cliff after Noesen was a 40-point guy a season ago. It's possible that Noesen's decline is related to his lingering knee injury, which he will now get fixed. The Devils announced that fellow forward Zack MacEwen (knee), who hasn't played since Nov. 12, also needed surgery and is out for the season.

Carter Hart Out Week-to-Week

Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Carter Hart (lower body) is considered week-to-week. He is poised to miss several games due to a lower-body injury. Hart has posted a 5-3-3 record during his comeback campaign and holds a 3.28 goals-against average with a .871 save percentage. While Hart hasn't been very effective with his work, the Golden Knights have utilized him often since the start of December. With Hart unavailable, Akira Schmid took on the St. Louis Blues on Saturday night, recording 17 saves in a 4-2 win. Currently, Carl Lindbom is another option between the pipes for the Golden Knights, who have been without regular starter Adin Hill (lower body) since October.

Thatcher Demko Exits With Injury Saturday

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko (lower body) suffered yet another injury setback in Saturday's 5-0 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. He departed the game after the first period due to a lower-body injury. Demko allowed three goals on six shots before being replaced by Kevin Lankinen. Canucks head coach Adam Foote told reporters postgame that Demko would be re-evaluated over the next few days. Unfortunately, it looks like the 2024 Vezina Trophy finalist is set to miss time again. Injuries have limited Demko to 20 starts this season, during which he has posted an 8-10-1 record. He has logged a 2.90 goals-against average, a .897 save percentage, and one shutout.
