Ullmark will start in Anaheim on Thursday.

Ullmark has been subpar to start the 2025-26 season, but has been much better lately, posting a 2.00 GAA and .918 SV% in his last three games (1-1-1). The 32-year-old Swedish goalie returns to the crease on Thursday against the Anaheim Ducks, looking to improve his 3.08 GAA and .874 SV% through 15 games this season (6-5-4).

Blais (upper-body) is practicing on Wednesday after leaving Tuesday's game early.

An injury to Matthew Knies (lower body) allowed Blais to draw into Toronto's lineup on Tuesday, but his appearance was short-lived, exiting the contest after only 6:31 time-on-ice due to an upper-body injury. That said, Blais seems no worse for wear, returning to practice on Wednesday. The 29-year-old Blais recorded an assist before his injury, giving him three points (1G / 2A) and 27 hits in seven games this season.
