The Maple Leafs have sent Calle Rosen to Toronto (AHL).
On Sunday afternoon, the Maple Leafs signed Roman Polak to a one-year deal, so Rosen has been sent to the Marlies to create room for the rugged blueliner. Rosen had one assist in his first four games with the Maple Leafs and will make his Marlies debut this week.
Fowler (lower-body) still being evaluated; expected to miss an extended period of time.
Fowler was hurt in Friday’s game vs. the Canadiens, but the Ducks have yet to determine how long their star defenseman will be sidelined. The injuries continue to mount for the Ducks as Fowler joins Hampus Lindholm and Sami Vatanen as banged up Ducks’ defensemen. With Fowler out, Brandon Montour becomes a must-add in fantasy circles.
Parayko (undisclosed) is "fine" and will play on Saturday.
Fowler left Friday's game with an apparent knee injury; under further evaluation.

Sundqvist will be a healthy scratch on Monday.
Sundqvist had no points, a minus-2 rating and three shots on goal while averaging 12:52 TOI in the first two games of the season. The Blues will replace him with Ivan Barbashev this afternoon.
The Bruins have activated Torey Krug (jaw) from IR.
Krug missed the Bruins’ season opener with a jaw injury that he suffered in the preseason but he will get back into the lineup this afternoon vs. the Avalanche. Krug is expected to skate with Adam McQuaid at even-strength and should quarterback the top power-play.
Krug (face) is a game-time decision for the Bruins’ afternoon game on Monday.
The Bruins have a few players who are listed as game-time decisions, but Krug seems like the most likely to return vs. the Avalanche. Krug, who was cleared for contact on Saturday has skated with a full-face shield in practice, had an impressive 51 points (8G / 43A) in 81 games last season. Expect head coach Bruce Cassidy to address the media around 11am ET.

The Maple Leafs recalled Calle Rosen from Toronto (AHL).
Rosen nearly made the Maple Leafs roster and after Martin Marincin cleared waivers he switched spots with Rosen. The 23-year-old will make his NHL debut on Saturday and comes to the Leafs after posting 19 points (6G / 13A) in 41 games with Vaxjo HC in Sweden.

Walker will become the first Australian player to play in the NHL on Saturday.
Walker, 23, a Sydney, Australia native will make his NHL debut vs. the Canadiens on Saturday. The 5-foot-8, 186 lbs. winger showed some good offensive talent in the AHL in 2015-16, collecting 41 points (17G / 24A) in 73 games but had a more difficult time last season, posting just 11 goals and 12 assists (23 points) in 58 games.
Krug (face) will not play Thursday; has not been ruled out for Monday’s game.
Krug has an X-ray and a meeting with doctors scheduled for Friday and the best-case scenario would be a return to the lineup for the Bruins’ second game of the season on Monday. With Krug out on Thursday, Matt Grzelcyk will get a look on the Bruins’ third-pair and second power-play unit.
The Bruins placed Torey Krug (face) on injured reserve on Tuesday.
Krug, who has missed time after taking a puck to the face in the preseason, was placed on IR on Tuesday but practiced in a non-contact sweater on Wednesday. Look for Krug to be sidelined for at least another week.
Fabbri will undergo his second knee surgery this year; will miss the 2017-18 season.
Fabbri underwent knee surgery after suffering an ACL injury last February and will have to have another surgery after re-injuring the knee in training camp. Fabbri was reportedly told that he had a 3% chance of re-injury and unfortunately the young forward fell into that percentage. With Fabbri out for the season, the Blues have discussed signing Jaromir Jagr.
