Auston Matthews, who many project to be the No. 1 pick in the 2016 NHL Draft, is playing for Zurich in Switzerland's top professional league this season. NHL.com will follow his journey leading to the NHL Draft this season with a weekly update.

Center Auston Matthews extended his season-high point streak to nine games when he had two goals and an assist in two games last week for Zurich in Switzerland's top professional league.

Matthews, No. 1 on NHL Central Scouting's midterm list of international skaters eligible for the 2016 NHL Draft, had his seven-game goal streak end on Jan. 26 in a 3-2 win against Fribourg-Gotteron. Matthews had eight shots in the game.

At 17:07 of the final in the 2016 Honda NHL All-Star Game, Hockey Operations initiated a Coach's Challenge to review whether Taylor Hall interfered with Ben Bishop before the puck crossed the Atlantic Division goal line.

The Referee determined that Hall interfered with Bishop before the puck crossed the goal line. According to Rule 78.7, “The standard for overturning the call in the event of a ‘GOAL’ call on the ice is that the Referee, after reviewing any and all available replays and consulting with the Toronto Video Room, determines that the goal should have been disallowed due to ‘Interference on the Goalkeeper,’ as described in Rules 69.1, 69.3 and 69.4.”

Therefore the original call is overturned – no goal Pacific Division.

NASHVILLE -- General manager Chuck Fletcher's preference would be to let the Minnesota Wild play their way out of a month-long slump before he seriously goes in search for outside help before the 2016 NHL Trade Deadline on Feb. 29.

The Wild went 3-7-3 with 23 goals in January. They dropped to one point behind the Nashville Predators for the second wild card into the Stanley Cup Playoffs from the Western Conference. They were in the first position with a seven-point cushion at the start of 2016.

"I think we're dealing with mainly a confidence issue," Fletcher said. "Hopefully the break will help. We have a lot of players who have scored in this league that just did not score last month."

The one stat Fletcher is focused on most is Minnesota's shooting percentage. It was 6.0 percent in January after being 9.6 percent through the first 36 games of the season. The decline happened despite the Wild averaging one more shot on goal per game (29.3-28.3) in January than they did in the first three months.

Based on factors including but not limited to matchups, line combinations, power-play usage, statistical coverage and recent production, we'll provide you with lower-priced options that can help you build a winning lineup.

Evgeny Kuznetsov, C, Metropolitan Division

DraftKings price: $5,200

Kuznetsov is arguably the best DraftKings value pick for the 2016 Honda NHL All-Star Game, considering he is tied for fifth in the League in points (49 in 47 games) and is tied for third-cheapest at his position (T-9th out of 12 centers) after being named a replacement this week. Kuznetsov, one of the most skilled young skaters in the League, has two overtime goals this season and is extremely dangerous with so much open ice in the 3-on-3 format.

Each Friday throughout the season Kevin Weekes will be blogging for NHL.com. In place of his traditional Friday Four, this week he discusses his top 10 biggest storylines of the first half of the season.

Washington Capitals

The first order of business is the year the Capitals are having. The consistency, their approach, their coaching. General manager Brian MacLellan has really done a nice job. This summer alone, for them to be able to trade for T.J. Oshie and sign Justin Williams. Those are two underrated pieces especially what Williams brings as "Mr. Game 7."

I've been impressed with Braden Holtby's level of performance and demeanor and what he means to that team. That organization is just so well positioned to make a run at the Stanley Cup. They have been the most consistent team in the NHL this season and Barry Trotz has done an excellent job.

VANCOUVER -- Victoriaville (QMJHL) center Pascal Laberge, No. 31 on NHL Central Scouting's midterm ranking of North American skaters eligible for the 2016 NHL Draft, had two goals and an assist to lead Team Bobby Orr to a 3-2 victory against Team Don Cherry before 10,113 fans at the 2016 BMO CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game at Pacific Coliseum on Thursday.

The game included 20 prospects from the Ontario Hockey League, 12 from the Western Hockey League, and eight from the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. The players competing in the game were chosen by the 30 NHL teams; the rosters were set by NHL Central Scouting.

Laberge, who was named player of the game for Team Orr, leads Victoriaville in assists (25) and shots on goal (124), and is second in points (39) in 36 games.

"I sure hope this performance will help me," Laberge said. "I've been injured a lot during the season and maybe this will help with my ranking. I broke my hand two times this season so I missed some games. But I have to take advantage of these opportunities."

VANCOUVER -- Center Pascal Laberge of Victoriaville in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League had two goals and an assist to help Team Bobby Orr to a 3-2 victory against Team Don Cherry before 10,113 fans at the BMO CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game at Pacific Coliseum on Thursday.

The game included 20 prospects from the Ontario Hockey League, 12 from the Western Hockey League, and eight from the QMJHL. The players competing in the game were chosen by the 30 NHL teams; the rosters were set by NHL Central Scouting.

Laberge also set up Pierre-Luc Dubois (Cape Breton, QMJHL) for the game-winner 11:35 into the third period.

VANCOUVER -- Sarnia defenseman Jakob Chychrun provided NHL scouts one more reason why they should consider him the top player at his position for the 2016 NHL Draft at First Niagara Center in Buffalo on June 24-25.

Chychrun, who will captain Team Don Cherry at the 2016 BMO CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game on Thursday at Pacific Coliseum (9 p.m. ET; NHLN, SN, TVA Sports), exceled in the on- and off-ice testing Wednesday performed by all 40 participating players for NHL management and scouts.

The combine data was supplied to NHL Central Scouting and representatives from all 30 teams.

Chychrun a 6-foot-2, 215-pound defender ranked No. 2 on NHL Central Scouting's midterm list of North American skaters eligible for the draft, was second among all players and first among defensemen in the on-ice portion of the tests, which included seven specialized drills. He also finished first among all players in the off-ice tests. All testing was conducted by Sport Testing.

Projected goalie starters are based on reporting of NHL.com staff and correspondents at morning skates, team announcements and media reports. While last-minute lineup changes are possible, these projections provide fantasy owners with the most up-to-date information available.

At 0:38 of overtime in the Flyers/Capitals game, the Situation Room initiated a review under the terms of a Coach’s Challenge to review whether Philadelphia’s Jakub Voracek interfered with Washington goaltender Braden Holtby prior to his goal.

After reviewing all available replays and consulting with NHL Hockey Operations staff, the Referee confirmed no goaltender interference infractions occurred before the puck crossed the goal line.

Therefore the original call stands – good goal Philadelphia Flyers.
