The Maple Leafs have acquired Calvin Pickard from the Golden Knights for Tobias Lindberg and a 2018 6th round pick.

Pickard was placed on waivers on Thursday and cleared Friday afternoon. The Maple Leafs waited for him to clear because now they can send him to the Toronto Marlies (AHL) and keep him in their system. This is a smart move for Toronto, who’s current backup goaltender is veteran Curtis McElhinney, who has had his fair-share of struggles during his career.

Lazar will be a healthy scratch in the Flames season opener.

Lazar, who picked up three points in four games after being acquired by the Flames last season was beat out by Tanner Glass and Garnet Hathaway for the last few spots in the Flames’ opening night roster. With Jaromir Jagr also coming to town soon, Lazar might have a difficult time working his way into the lineup.

The Maple Leafs have recalled Kasperi Kapanen from Toronto (AHL).

Kapanen, 20, has been recalled because the Maple Leafs are without Josh Leivo and Nikita Soshnikov. Kapanen has had a strong year with the Marlies, posting 18 goals and 25 assists (43 points) in 43 games. He has not recorded a point in his first nine NHL games.
