Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Makes 17 saves in loss to Denmark
RotowireSilovs made 17 saves in Latvia's 4-2 loss to Denmark on Sunday at the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026. He allowed three goals.
Silovs finished the preliminary round with a 1-1-0 record, 3.01 GAA and .873 save percentage. He has allowed seven goals and has played 139:44, the second-most in the Olympics after Juuse Saros. Silovs, who backstopped Latvia to its first Olympic win since 2014 earlier in the competition, will likely be in the blue paint Tuesday in a tough matchup against Sweden in the qualification playoffs.

RotowireCrosby scored a goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in Canada's 10-2 rout of France in Olympic round-robin action Sunday.
The future Hall of Famer doubled his goal and point totals for the tournament, as Crosby set up tallies by Devon Toews in the first period and Cale Makar in the second before potting his own just before the second intermission. Crosby will get a couple days of rest before Canada faces the winner of a Czechia-Denmark qualifying tilt in Wednesday's quarterfinal.

RotowireSilovs will patrol the crease for Latvia against Denmark on Sunday at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Silovs is coming off a 26-save performance in Saturday's 4-3 win over Germany. He has a 1-1-0 record with a 3.00 GAA and an .886 save percentage through two appearances in the tournament.

RotowireSilovs turned aside 26 shots in Latvia's 4-3 win over Germany in Olympic round-robin play Saturday.
After Elvis Merzlikins surrendered five goals to the United States in Latvia's tournament opener, it was Silovs' turn between the pipes, and he delivered a more promising result. However, the Pittsburgh netminder might hand the crease back to Merzlikins on Sunday against Denmark.

RotowireKarlsson pocketed two assists in Sweden's 5-3 win over Slovakia in Olympic round-robin action Saturday.
Both helpers for the veteran blueliner came in the third period as Sweden tried to pad its lead to earn a bye to the quarterfinals, which will likely come down to a goal differential tiebreaker. Karlsson has three points, all assists, through three games in his first Olympic appearance.

RotowireSilovs is set to start for Team Latvia against Germany on Saturday a the 2026 Winter Olympics, according to Dan Rosen of NHL.com.
Silovs has been solid for thePenguins this season, posting an 11-7-8 record, with a 2.93 GAA and an .894 save percentage over 26 outings. He will have all he can handle against Germany, which boasts NHL stars Leon Draisaitl, Tim Stutzle and Moritz Seider, among others.

RotowireZonnon scored twice and added an assist in QMJHL Blainville-Boisbriand's 6-0 win over Val-d'Or on Friday.
Zonnon has six points over five games in February. He rattled off six straight multi-point efforts from Jan. 11-25, but this was his first such performance since that stretch. He's still been steady, recording nine goals and 28 points through 21 appearances this season.

RotowireCrosby picked up two assists, including one on the power play, in Canada's 5-0 win over Czechia in Olympic round-robin play Thursday.
The future Hall of Famer helped set up tallies by Mark Stone in the second period and Nathan MacKinnon in the third. Canada's offense is led by a new generation of stars in MacKinnon and Connor McDavid, but the 38-year-old Crosby still has plenty left in the tank, and he already has one gold medal-winning goal on his resume from the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver.

RotowireRakell (lower body) is expected to play against Italy on Wednesday at the 2026 Winter Olympics, per Mollie Walker of the New York Post.
Rakell sat out Pittsburgh's 5-2 loss to Buffalo on Thursday before the Olympic break, but he will be available to play in Sweden's tournament opener. He has been skating alongside Elias Pettersson and Mika Zibanejad during practices. The 32-year-old Rakell has 10 goals, 24 points, 103 shots on net, 30 blocked shots and 50 hits across 35 NHL appearances this season.

RotowireHayes scored three goals in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 4-3 overtime win over Hershey on Saturday.
Hayes has seven goals and two assists during a seven-game point streak at the AHL level. He also scored twice Thursday in a win over the Sabres after his first NHL call-up. Hayes now has 16 goals, 26 points and 105 shots on net through 32 AHL outings. Given his quality of play over the last couple of years, he'll likely get additional looks with Pittsburgh.

RotowireBroz logged three assists in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 6-5 win over Lehigh Valley on Friday.
Broz missed some time for the AHL club in late January, but his return to the lineup was a good one. He's earned four goals and seven assists over his last six outings. Overall, he's at 14 goals, 31 points and a plus-12 rating through 37 appearances. He's earned a couple of call-ups to the NHL but has just one game under his belt for Pittsburgh so far.

RotowireKoivunen scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 6-5 win over Lehigh Valley on Friday.
Koivunen didn't do a lot after his demotion to the AHL in January, but he has picked up the pace with two goals and six assists over his last six games. He's at six goals, 22 points and 29 shots on net through 19 AHL outings this season. The 22-year-old will get future looks in the NHL, but it's unclear if he'll get another call-up this season after posting just five points in 27 contests with Pittsburgh.

RotowireDumba scored three goals and added an assist in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 6-5 win over Lehigh Valley on Friday.
Dumba has stunningly erupted for 11 points over his last four games. His hat trick Friday gives him five goals on the year, and he has added 11 assists, 37 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through 19 AHL appearances. It's unclear if he'll get another look with Pittsburgh, but his strong AHL play could help him get a change of scenery before the trade deadline.

RotowireMcGroarty was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Friday.
McGroarty picked up an assist in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Sabres, his fifth point in 20 NHL games this year. If thePenguins are healthy coming out of the Olympic break, McGroarty could find himself spending another extended stint in the minors with the Baby Pens.

RotowireHayes was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Friday.
Hayes was called up Thursday and made the most out of his NHL debut, scoring twice in a 5-2 victory over Buffalo. Hayes had 13 goals and 10 assists in 31 AHL appearances before his recall.

RotowireNovak scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.
Novak has two goals and an assist over three games in February. The 28-year-old center stretched thePenguins' lead to 4-2 in the third period to fend off any comeback effort for the Sabres. Novak is up to 11 goals, 31 points, 85 shots on net, 22 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 56 appearances this season. He should continue to offer decent upside on offense in a second-line role.

RotowireHayes scored twice on six shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.
Hayes got into the lineup for Noel Acciari (illness), and that ended up working out fine for thePenguins. Hayes scored on his first NHL shot at 9:18 of the first period, and he tallied again before the end of the opening frame, giving the Penguins a lead that they never relinquished. The 23-year-old has earned 23 points over 31 contests for AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, and he'll likely head back to the farm team in the coming days to continue playing during the NHL's Olympic break. That said, this likely isn't the last we've seen of Hayes at the NHL level.

RotowireKindel scored two goals in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.
Kindel's unassisted tally in the second period stood as the game-winner, and he added a shorthanded empty-netter in the third. The latter goal was his first career shorthanded point. The 18-year-old center is up to 14 goals, 27 points, 109 shots on net, 44 blocked shots, 21 hits and a minus-3 rating through 53 appearances. He's surged into the Olympic break with six goals and an assist over his last six outings.
... See More... See LessPenguins' Arturs Silovs: Steady in win
RotowireSilovs stopped 26 of 28 shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.
Silovs picked up his third win in his last four outings. He's allowed just nine goals on 111 shots in that span as he continues to alternate starts with Stuart Skinner. Silovs improved to 11-7-8 with a 2.93 GAA and an .894 save percentage over 26 contests this season. The Latvian netminder is off to the Olympics, where he'll likely battle the Blue Jackets' Elvis Merzlikins for starts between the pipes.
