NHL Morning Skate | February 06, 2026

* The Lightning won their fifth straight game, as well as their ninth straight at Benchmark International Arena, and did so after having all six of their goals scored by six different Olympians, while the Golden Knights benefitted from multi-point games from their own Olympic-bound skaters.

* The final day of NHL action until Feb. 25 featured more Olympians contribute to wins on a night the League reached 700 close games (contests decided by one or two-plus following an empty-net goal) – the most at this stage of a campaign in NHL history.

* The NHL Morning Skate will return on Monday with a special edition, “NHL Morning Skate from Milan,” that will feature coverage of NHL players throughout the duration of the Olympic hockey tournament. “#NHLStats: Live Updates from Milan” will cover every game, beginning Wednesday.
