Toronto Maple Leafs News
The Flyers re-signed Scott Laughton to a two-year extension worth $4.6 million ($2.3M AAV).
The Ducks signed Anthony Stolarz to a two-year, $1.5M contract ($750K).
The Golden Knights acquired Nicolas Roy and 2021 conditional fifth-round pick from the Hurricanes for Erik Haula.
Roy was selected in the fourth-round (No.96 overall) in the 2015 NHL draft. Since then, Roy has appeared in just seven career NHL games but is coming off of a 17-goal, 19-assist (36 points) season with Charlotte (AHL). Roy will likely start in Chicago (AHL) given the depth of the Golden Knights lineup.
Goalie Start
Stolarz will start Thursday vs. the Sharks.
Stolarz allowed one goal on 17 shots after coming in in relief in the Oilers 5-1 loss to the Ducks on March 30th. Since joining the Oilers, Stolarz has gone 0-1-0 with a 4.00 GAA and .898 SV% in one start and four relief appearances. The Sharks have lost nine of their last 10 (1-8-1) but remain a very difficult test for Stolarz this evening.
Muzzin (illness) will not play vs. the Lightning.
Muzzin continues to battle an illness and will miss his second straight game on Thursday. Luckily for the Maple Leafs, Jake Gardiner will make his return from a back injury and will step into Muzzin’s spot on the second pairing.
Muzzin (illness) is not on the ice for warmups.
Muzzin was listed as a game-time decision last night but ended up playing but will not be in the lineup vs. the Hurricanes. Martin Marincin will replace him on the Maple Leafs' blueline.
Johnsson (illness) will not play against the Islanders on Monday.
Muzzin (illness) will be a game-time decision for Monday's game against the Islanders.
Myers will return to the Flyers lineup on Thursday.
Myers (illness) is not on the ice for warmups; will not play on Tuesday.
Line Change
Lettieri will draw into the Rangers lineup on Tuesday.
Myers (illness) will be a game-time decision on Tuesday.
Tanev (leg) will return to the Canucks blueline on Wednesday.
Tanev missed the last 11 games with a leg issue but will play Wednesday vs. the Rangers. Tanev will likely skate on the top pair with Alex Edler. He has 12 points (2G / 10A) in 53 games this season.
Goalie Start
Stolarz will start Saturday vs. the Maple Leafs.
With Mikko Koskinen sick, Stolarz will make his first start with the Oilers against the Maple Leafs. Stolarz was 4-3-3 with a 3.33 GAA and .902 SV% in 12 games with the Flyers earlier this season and 2-0-0 with 3.58 GAA and .901 SV% in five AHL games. He has shown the ability to stand on his head at times but is far too inconsistent to be relied upon tonight vs. a dangerous Toronto team.
McCabe will miss 5-to-6 weeks with an upper-body injury.
McCabe’s season is likely over as the Sabres announced the defenseman will miss 5-6 weeks with an upper-body injury that he suffered in Toronto on Saturday. Matt Hunwick will be in the Sabres lineup on Monday with McCabe out. He finishes the year with 14 points (4G / 10A), a minus-7 rating, 59 shots and 35 PIMS in 55 games.
Line Change
Boyd will draw into the Capitals lineup on Sunday.
Myers is expected to be back in the Flyers lineup on Thursday.
Myers made his NHL debut in Detroit on Sunday but sat as a healthy scratch on Tuesday. Myers only played 9:53 TOI in his debut because he was the seventh defenseman but he is expected to skate on the second pairing with Shayne Gostisbehere tonight.
Binning has been activated from IR and will return to the Oilers blueline on Tuesday.
