Franson missed the first two games of the season with a bruised knee, but should play tonight vs. the Rangers. Franson had five goals and 28 assists (33 points)--1PPG / 17PPA-- last season. He will once again be a key part of the Leafs power-play.
Muzzin said he feels like he is close to a return but has not yet been cleared to get back into the lineup. So expect Muzzin to miss his third straight game, but he should be back next week.
Franson was a full participant in the Leafs gameday skate on Saturday, but head coach Randy Carlyle kept Franson out of the lineup last night vs. the Penguins, but that is not expected to be the case tonight in New York. Franson missed the last two games of the preseason and the first two games of the regular season. He is expected to make his season debut on the third pair with Roman Polak--the two have never played together. We will know if he is playing for sure during pre-game warmups.
Muzzin has missed the first two games of the season, but could make his season debut tonight vs. the Jets. Expect a full update on Muzzin shortly.

After missing the season opener with an upper-body injury, Green was in the lineup for Washington's game against the Bruins on Saturday. Green had one goal on two shots in 17:32 TOI. He played 1:38 on the power-play.
Staal left the game after being hit hard. Original reports suggest that Staal may be suffering from concussion-like symptoms. The Hurricanes are extremely banged up already so if Staal misses any time, they are in huge trouble. He joins his brother Jordan and winger Jeff Skinner on the injury report. Expect an update on Staal on Sunday or Monday.
The Jets originally announced that he will miss at least two games, but now they will reevaluate him in two weeks and see where he is at.

Jared Tinordi will enter the lineup with Emelin out, but the Canadiens would not say who will play with P.K Subban. Consider Emelin day-to-day.
Expect Brian McGrattan to slide back into the lineup with Jones battling a lower-body injury.
Expect Devin Setoguchi to be in the lineup tonight against the Blues with Hudler sitting with an illness. Consider Hudler day-to-day.
Stastny missed practice friday but was back on the ice for Saturdays morning skate and is expected to in the line up vs the Flames. Stastny scored in his Blues debut and with snipers Vladimir Tarasenko and Alex Steen on his wings, Stastny is set up for another good year so get him in your line up when he's healthy.
Franson was back on the ice for practice Saturday morning and said that he's ready to play. All that Head Coach Randy Carlyle would divulge is that Franson is "an option". We won't know Fransons's status until warm-ups tonight.
Kane was injured in his third shift on Thursday night after a collision with linemate Mark Scheifele. Kane underwent an MRI today, but there is no report as to exactly how long he will be out. The fact that they are only ruling him out for two games is an encouraging sign that the injury is not crazy serious, but expect the Jets to release a timetable over the weekend--they likely need to see how his knee responds, before they have a true idea of the severity.
Murray still remains without a target date for his return, but says he feels like he is getting closer and closer with each passing day. Murray is a dynamic offensive talent on the blueline and will bolster a Blue Jackets powerplay that went 1/4 on Thursday.
The Flyers defenseman was spotted on crutches yesterday after he was ruled out of Thursday's game and the Flyers feared the worst. “We’ve actually gotten better news than we had yesterday, but until Monday we won’t be able to be definitive,” the Flyers general manager said, adding that Coburn still had to see a specialist. For now, consider Coburn day-to-day.
According to head coach Alain Vigneault, Glass "is a little tight" so a decision on his status will not be made until tomorrow. If he is unable to play, expect Kevin Hayes to make his Rangers and NHL debut.
Tanev suffered an injury in Wednesday's season opener that forced him to miss practice on Thursday, but he was back on the ice Friday and could be in the lineup when they take on the Oilers. Tanev will be evaluated tomorrow and then a decision will be made.

While the minimum amount of time spent on the injured reserve list is seven calendar days, there is no maximum amount of time that a player can be placed on the injured reserve list. If a player is set to be sidelined for longer than 24 calendar days or 10 NHL games, then a club may opt to place them on the long-term injured reserve instead. This allows franchises with the ability to exceed the salary cap while a player is placed on this reserve list.
No injury recovery timeline is the same as another as there are several factors that go into the rehab process for a player being affected by injury. Factors include but are not limited to, injury severity, player injury/medical history, age, as well as the location of the injury. Some injuries are able to clear up in a matter of days, while others may take an athlete out of action for the entirety of a season.
