As March welcomes the sounds of birds and first blooms breaking through across much of the United States, it's not just the air and soil temps that are rising with the final weeks of the 2026 American Hockey League regular season upon us.

AHL action is heating up across North America as teams try to position themselves for the penultimate chapter of this season's story—where a short streak can be enough to make or break any team's Calder Cup Playoff hopes. See the latest standings here.

Fans at the PeoplesBank Arena last Friday were treated to a variety show on ice after things broke out into fighting in the third period that sent 14 players into the locker room early for misconduct penalties.

Trey Fix-Wolansky's two goals and two assists helped the hosting Chicago Wolf Pack to a 5-0 lead by the start of the third period but it was Spencer Martin who became the final target of Bridgeport's Hunter Drew and his shenanigans. Watch the whole scene below.
