Groulx was a second-round pick of the Anaheim Ducks in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft that had five points (1G / 4A) in 65 career NHL games, all with the Ducks, before being called up by the Maple Leafs earlier this month. The 26-year-old forward was productive in a brief stint with the Maple Leafs, adding to his career totals with five points (3G / 2A) in nine games.
Pezzetta will immediately exit the lineup after making just his third appearance of the season in Tuesday's win over the Bruins. Calle Jarnkrok will dress in his place.
Andrae did not play in Philadelphia's previous game, but he will re-enter the lineup on Thursday against the Chicago Blackhawks. The 24-year-old Swedish defenseman is averaging 15:41 time-on-ice and has 13 points (2G / 11A) in 50 games this season.
With Morgan Rielly (lower body) returning from a one-game absence, Myers will be the odd man out of the lineup as a healthy scratch. The 29-year-old Myers is averaging 14:07 time-on-ice and has two assists in 35 games this season.
Calle Jarnkrok will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday, allowing Pezzetta to re-enter the lineup. In two games this season, the 28-year-old Pezzetta is averaging 5:06 time-on-ice and has six hits.
Rielly did not play in Toronto's previous game due to a lower-body concern, but he will return to the lineup, likely occupying his familiar spot on the team's top powerplay unit, on Tuesday against the Boston Bruins. The 32-year-old defenseman has 33 points (9G / 24A) in 67 games this season, but only has two pints (2G / 0A) in his last 14 games.
Stolarz suffered an upper-body injury during warmups before Saturday's game and did not play, but has been cleared to play in their upcoming game on Tuesday against the Boston Bruins. The 32-year-old Stolarz has had a disappointing season, a recurring theme for the entire Maple Leafs team, but has played better lately. Since returning from the Olympic break, Stolarz has a solid 2.75 GAA and .921 SV% in six appearances (1-2-2). The Maple Leafs enter Tuesday's contest as +165 road underdogs against a Bruins team with points in five straight games (3-0-2).

A 4-6-0 record in their last 10 games has effectively put a halt to Florida's late-season push for a playoff spot, but they will keep their slim hopes alive on Tuesday, turning to Bobrovsky against the Seattle Kraken. The 37-year-old Bobrovsky is playing his best hockey of the season, including saving all 21 shots he faced for his fourth shutout of the season in his most recent outing, a 4-0 win over the Edmonton Oilers. Since returning from the Olympic break, Bobrovsky has a 2.29 GAA and .916 SV% in seven games (4-3-0). The Panthers enter Tuesday's contest as -125 home favourites against a Kraken team that has scored two or fewer goals in three straight games (0-3-0).
Stolarz suffered an upper-body injury during warmups before Saturday's game and did not play, but has been cleared for their upcoming game on Tuesday against the Boston Bruins. That said, the Maple Leafs recalled Dennis Hildeby from the Toronto Marlies (AHL) for precautionary reasons.
Simon Benoit will return from a one-game absence on Friday against the Carolina Hurricanes, sending Myers back to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 29-year-old Myers is averaging 14:09 time-on-ice and has two assists in 34 games this season.
After being an NHL mainstay for most of the previous three seasons with the Montreal Canadiens, Pezzetta has spent most of the 2025-26 campaign in the AHL. The 28-year-old forward has 10 points (4G / 6A) in 37 games with the Marlies (AHL) this season.
Matthews was involved in a knee-on-knee collision with Ducks captain Radko Gudas last week and was almost immediately ruled out for the remainder of the season. Gudas was issued a five-minute major for kneeing and a game misconduct penalty on the play, and is now serving a five-game suspension. Matthews' injury caps what has been a nightmare season for the Maple Leafs. His season comes to an abrupt end after 60 games, with career lows of 27 goals and 26 assists.
Bobrovsky has had a disappointing 2025-26 season but seemed to be turning a corner after the Olympic break, posting a solid 2.21 GAA and .925 SV% in five games (3-2-0). However, his string of strong play abruptly ended on Tuesday, allowing five goals on 22 shots (.773 SV%) in a disappointing 5-2 loss to the league-worst Vancouver Canucks. The Panthers enter Thursday's game as +135 road underdogs against an Edmonton Oilers team with points in three straight games (2-0-1).
Buhr is an undrafted 23-year-old forward that the Maple Leafs have signed to a one-year, entry-level contract after completing his collegiate hockey career. In 35 games with Union College (ECAC), Buhr scored 36 points (19G / 17A) this season.
Ekman-Larsson did not play on Sunday and was not at Toronto's morning skate on Tuesday following the birth of his child. The 34-year-old Swedish defenseman is having a resurgent season, with 35 points (8G / 27A) in 65 games. This marks the most points he has had in a season since 2018-19, when he scored 44 points (14G / 30A) in 81 games as a member of the Arizona Coyotes.
Borgesi is a 22-year-old defenceman who recently completed his NCAA career and will sign with the Maple Leafs as a free agent. He tallied 16 goals and 64 assists in 134 games across four seasons at Northeastern University. Borgesi will join the AHL's Toronto Marlies on an amateur tryout for the remainder of the 2025-26 season before his contract officially kicks in at the start of the new league season.
The Panthers have been more liberal with their goalie usage since returning from the Olympic break, which appears to be paying early dividends for Bobrovsky, who has struggled for most of the 2025-26 season. The 37-year-old veteran goalie saved 30 of 31 shots (.968 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 2-1 overtime win over the Columbus Blue Jackets. He has a solid 2.21 GAA and .925 SV% in his last five games (3-2-0). The Panthers enter Tuesday's contest as -150 road favourites against a Vancouver Canucks team that has scored only seven goals in its last four games (1-2-1).
