Steven Lorentz News

A day after being placed on waivers, Steven Lorentz has found himself a new home in Columbus after it was announced Monday that he had been traded alongside Matthew Knies, Emil Andrae and a 2027 2nd-round pick (SEA) to Columbus for Kirill Marchenko, Miles Wood, and Elvis Merzlikins (some retained salary). The 30-year-old bottom-six forward is entering his seventh NHL season with his fifth different team after putting up seven goals, 18 points and 16 PIMs in 2025-26 with Toronto.

Michael Pezzetta will be a healthy scratch on Thursday, allowing Lorentz to re-enter the lineup. The 29-year-old Lorentz is averaging 11:39 time-on-ice and has 15 points (5G / 10A) in 64 games this season.

Lorentz will take a seat in favour of Calle Jarnkrok when the Leafs travel to Anaheim on Monday. Lorentz has played in 64 games this season, tallying five goals and ten assists.

Nicholas Robertson will be a healthy scratch on Monday, allowing Lorentz to re-enter the lineup against the Philadelphia Flyers. The 29-year-old Lorentz has 14 points (4G / 10A) in 52 games this season, but has been held off the scoresheet in nine straight.

Lorentz played only 7:17 time-on-ice in his most recent outing, a 6-3 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on October 29th, and has been sidelined since with an undisclosed injury. The 29-year-old Lorentz has been productive in a bottom-six role this season, scoring four points (0G / 4A) in eight games.

Lorentz played only 7:17 time-on-ice in his most recent outing and is now day-to-day with an undisclosed injury. The 29-year-old Lorentz has been productive in a bottom-six role this season, scoring four points (0G / 4A) in eight games.

Lorentz missed the last three games with an upper-body injury but will replace Calle Jarnkrok in the lineup on Saturday. Lorentz, who had two assists in the season opener, will be back on the fourth line.

Lorentz was battling an upper-body injury and did not play on Monday, and will remain out of the lineup as a healthy scratch on Thursday against the New York Rangers. The 29-year-old Lorentz has two points (0G / 2A) in two games this season.

Lorentz played just 1:17 before leaving Saturday's loss in Detroit with an upper-body injury. Lorentz has been announced as doubtful for Monday, meaning Easton Cowan is lining up to make his NHL debut.

Lorentz matched a career-high 19 points (8G / 11A) playing 80 games in his first season with the Maple Leafs and has signed a three-year contract extension worth $1.35M AAV. The 29-year-old was a seventh-round pick in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft and averaged 10:33 time-on-ice last season.

Lorentz has not played the previous two games for the Maple Leafs due to an undisclosed ailment, but he will return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Vegas Golden Knights. The 28-year-old Lorentz is averaging 10:26 time-on-ice and has 14 points (5G / 9A) in 59 games this season.

Lorentz signed a PTO with the Maple Leafs at the beginning of training camp and has earned himself a one-year contract. The 28-year-old Lorentz was in and out of the lineup for the Florida Panthers last season, tallying three points (1G / 2A) in 38 games. He will serve as a bottom-six forward for the Maple Leafs this season.

Lorentz had found himself in Florida's lineup for the first four games of the Stanley Cup Finals but will be the odd man out on Tuesday as Ryan Lomberg enters the Panthers' fourth line. Lorentz had appeared in 16 games this postseason, picking up two goals, three points, 30 SOG, 10 PIMs and a -9 plus/minus.
