Lehtonen has been and out of the Maple Leafs lineup all season-long, picking up three assists in seven games while averaging 11:41 TOI/gm. He will replace Jake Muzzin, who is out with a broken bone in his face.
With Joe Thornton and Zach Hyman, both out with injuries, Petan and Alexander Barabanov will be back in the lineup vs. the Flames. Petan has one assist in five games this season.
Both Zach Hyman and Joe Thornton will come out of the lineup due to injuries, so Barabanov and Nic Petan will draw into the lineup vs. the Flames. Barabanov is still searching for his first career point after going without one in his first eight games of the season.
Teravainen reportedly "doesn't feel right" so he'll miss his second straight game with an upper-body injury. With Teravainen out on Saturday, Steven Lorentz replaced him in the lineup and Andrei Svechnikov replaced him on the top line.
After returning to the lineup on Saturday, Hyman will come right back out of the lineup on Monday. Hyman is listed as day-to-day again. Nic Petan will replace him the Maple Leafs' bottom-6.
The Maple Leafs are uncertain of how long Muzzin will be out but he'll need to wear a full face shield when he returns. It sounds like it will be a pain tolerance type of situation, so consider Muzzin as day-to-day.
Thornton has been ruled out for Monday's game vs. the Flames but it's unclear who will replace him on the top-line with Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner. Expect one of Travis Boyd, Jimmy Vesey or Ilya Mikheyev to take his spot but that will not be revealed until warmups.
Panarin is reportedly taking a leave of absence from the Rangers after a "political hit piece against him from Russia alleging that he beat up an 18-year-old girl in Russia in 2011." The report goes on to say that "Retribution was feared after Panarin's Instagram post on 1/21 in support of opposition leader Alexi Navalny with caption "Freedom for Navalny." Panarin, who has family in Russia, has been outspoken against [Vladimir] Putin."
The Ducks promoted their top prospect on Sunday and he should make his NHL debut on Monday. Zegras skated with Sam Steel and Jakob Silfverberg in Sunday's practice, paving the way for him to play in the top-6 right away. The 19-year-old had nine points (4G / 5A) in his first eight AHL games.
Dubois will appear in his third game with the Jets after missing the last four games with a lower-body injury. Dubois will move to the wing in his return to the lineup, skating on a line with Mark Scheifele and Blake Wheeler.
