Toronto lost another top-six forward on Monday after Kirill Marchenko left their game vs. Calgary with a lower-body injury. Marchenko's first 14 games in Toronto have gone very well, with the 26-year-old winger averaging a point per game with six goals and 14 points.

The Maple Leafs are riding a four-game winning streak while rotating goalies, and they'll continue the trend on Monday, with Bobrovsky tending the twine against the Calgary Flames. Bobrovsky hasn't been spectacular early in his Maple Leafs tenure and has been largely outplayed by counterpart Anthony Stolarz. The 38-year-old Bobrovsky has a 3.10 GAA and .895 SV% in eight games (3-3-2). The Maple Leafs enter Monday's action as -143 road favourites against a Flames team coming off a 4-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings, extending their winning streak to three games.

The Kings have the league's worst offence, with only 21 goals in nine games, leaving little room for error between the pipes. That said, Kuemper has been sensational recently, saving 71 of 75 shots (.947 SV%) in his last two games (2-0-0). The 36-year-old goalie had a forgetful season debut, allowing eight goals on 29 shots (.724 SV%) in an 8-4 loss to the Colorado Avalanche, but has been solid since, posting a 2.52 GAA and .924 SV% in his last five games (2-2-1). The Kings enter Monday's contest as +117 road underdogs against a New York Rangers team that has lost four of their last five (1-3-1).

Brind'Amour played two games for the Hurricanes this season, but will head back to the AHL. The 27-year-old forward has three points (2G / 1A) this season in six games with the Chicago Wolves (AHL).

Kulich (concussion) left practice on Friday and did not join Buffalo on their road trip. The 22-year-old Czech forward, has three points (1G / 2A) in eight games.

Marner has missed the past two games, tending to a personal matter, but was back at practice on Monday and will likely be back in the lineup on Tuesday against the Ottawa Senators. The 29-year-old Marner is off to a strong start this season, with 12 points (2G / 10A) in 11 games.

Chabot has missed the past three games with an upper-body injury, but was back at practice on Monday. It is unclear if he will be ready to suit up on Tuesday against the Vegas Golden Knights. The 29-year-old Chabot is averaging 25:20 time-on-ice and has four points (1G / 3A) in nine games this season.

Holtz was the seventh overall pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, but he has been unable to establish a lasting presence in the NHL. The 24-year-old Swedish forward had nine points (3G / 6A) in 28 games last season and has one assist in two games this season. Jonas Rondbjerg has been recalled in a corresponding move.

Ronbjerg has played 80 NHL games, scoring 11 points (3G / 8A), but has been unable to stick at the NHL level. The 27-year-old forward spent most of 2025-26 in the AHL, where he scored 26 points (13G / 13A) in 43 games with Henderson. Alexander Holtz has been sent down to Henderson (AHL) in a corresponding move.

Trent Frederic will return to Edmonton's lineup on Monday, sending Hallander to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 26-year-old Hallander has provided some complimentary offense in a bottom-six role, scoring three points (1G / 2A) in eight games this season.

Filip Hallander will be a healthy scratch on Monday, allowing Frederic to re-enter the lineup. The 28-year-old Frederic will return from a one-game absence, looking to improve on a uneventful start to the season. He has one goal, 12 penalty minutes, and 23 hits in 10 games.

Isaac Howard will return to Edmonton's lineup on Monday, sending Jones to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 28-year-old Jones is averaging 10:04 time-on-ice, with zero points and 14 hits in six games this season.

Howard impressed in the AHL last season, scoring 50 points (24G / 26A) in 47 games, but has not been able to find his offensive touch at the NHL level. The 22-year-old has just two assists in 10 games this season. Max Jones will be a healthy scratch to accommodate Howard's return.
