Toronto Maple Leafs News

Bobvorsky enters Tuesday after losing his last start in overtime allowing three goals on 32 shots (.906 SV%) as the Panthers were downed by Tampa Bay. He has enjoyed a strong start to the season so far, getting the Panthers points in three of his four starts (2-1-1) while posting a .916 SV% and 2.78 GAA. He shouldn't face a ton of shots Tuesday as the Blackhawks rank 30th in the NHL in SOG per game (25.0) but have won their last three games scoring 4 or more goals in each victory.

McCabe was medically cleared early Tuesday by the Chicago Blackhawks indicating the 29-year-old will make his season debut Friday against the Detroit Red Wings. The 10-year veteran sits just one point shy of the 100-point plateau (99 Pts) in his career, with 428 games played under his belt.

Myers missed Tuesday's contest in Philadelphia with an undisclosed injury. He draws back into Tampa's third defensive pairing as they head to Florida for their matchup Friday. Through three games in 2022-23, Myers has six SOG while averaging 13:26 TOI.

Bobrovsky stopped 29 of 33 shots in a 4-3 victory over the Philadephia Flyers Wednesday. The 13-year-veteran has enjoyed a solid start to the season as his .919 SV% and 2.75 GAA have allowed him to take the majority of the Panthers' starts early on. Florida will host the Tampa Bay Lightning who have struggled to a 1-3-0 early on, ranking 27th in goals with 2.5 GF/GP.

Muzzin will head to the injured reserve after injuring his neck in the Maple Leafs' 4-2 loss to Arizona Monday. It is the third time in four seasons since joining Toronto that Muzzin has missed significant time due to injury. He had one assist with eight SOG through four games before the injury announcement.

Bobrovsky will take the crease for his third start of the season Wednesday as the Florida Panthers host the undefeated Philadelphia Flyers at home. The 13-year veteran has played exceptional in the early part of the year, stopping 61 of his first 66 shots on goal while earning a 1-1-0 record. He will be looking for his second victory of the young season after sharing the league lead in wins in 2021-22 (39).

Stolarz will get his first start of the 2022-23 season after coming in twice in relief of John Gibson in each of the last two Duck games. He has struggled in relief, allowing three goals on 20 shots. He hopes to return closer to the .919 SV% that he has averaged across his four years in Anaheim.

Myers is dealing with a minor injury and needs some rest/recovery time, so he'll come out of the lineup vs. the Flyers. Nick Perbix will make his NHL debut in Myers' place.

Nylander missed Sunday's practice but is good to go for Monday's game vs. Arizona. Nylander has enjoyed a strong start to the season, scoring two goals with one assist and 15 shots in three games.

Bobrovsky will get his second start of the season in a battle of undefeated teams as Florida heads to Boston Monday for an Atlantic showdown. The 34-year-old enjoyed a fantastic opening night victory over the New York Islanders, stopping 32 of 33 shots on way to a 3-1 final scoreline. Bobrovsky has impressively won 40 of his last 54 starts as a member of the Florida Panthers.

Nylander missed Sunday's practice due to illness and is questionable to play Monday. With Nylander not available, the Maple Leafs recalled Nick Robertson and he skated on the second line with John Tavares and Denis Malgin. Monitor Nylander's status during the Maple Leafs' morning skate on Monday.

Blueger has been battling an upper-body injury and has officially been ruled out of Thursday's game vs. the Coyotes. Ryan Poehling will centre the fourth line with Blueger out.

Bobrovsky will lead the Panthers on opening night as they take on the Islanders in New York. Bobrovsky tied Andrei Vasilevskiy for the league lead in wins (39) in 2021-22 while getting 53 starts for the President's Trophy (122 Pts) winners in Florida who also led all NHL teams in goals for (337). His .913 SV% was his highest totals in three seasons.

The Maple Leafs Captain will return to the lineup for the team's opening game Wednesday against the Montreal Canadiens. The 13-year veteran returns to the team after an oblique injury caused him to miss time since leaving the Leafs' lineup in a preseason game on September 24th. Tavares enjoyed a decent 2021-22, collecting 27 goals and 76 assists in 79 games. Since joining the Maple Leafs in 2018-19, Tavares has 119 goals and 274 points in 280 games.

Blueger continues to battle an undisclosed injury that he suffered on September 28th. Blueger was not on the ice of Monday's practice, so look for Ryan Poehling to centre the fourth line if he's unavailable for the season opener on Thursday.

Tavares skated with the team for the first time since suffering an oblique strain on September 24th. Tavares' original timeline was three weeks, suggesting he could miss the first four games of the season. Returning to the ice on Monday, albeit in a non-contact jersey, suggests that he may be a little bit ahead of schedule.

Tavares is expected to miss at least the first four games of the regular season with an oblique strain he suffered in training camp. With Tavares sidelined, Alex Kerfoot will likely centre the Maple Leafs' second line, and Pontus Holmberg could open the season with the team.

McCabe underwent surgery on September 13th, so he's expected to be out until late-November/early-December. With McCabe sidelined, look for Riley Stillman and Alex Vlasic to get more work early in the season.
