Line Change
Foligno (maintenance) will not play Thursday vs. the Canucks.

Goalie Start
Knight will start Thursday in Chiacgo.
Teravainen (concussion) will draw back into the Hurricanes lineup on Tuesday.
Donato is day-to-day with a lower-body injury; will not play Monday.
Mikheyev (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision on Saturday.
Mikheyev has missed the last two games but will be a game-time decision for the second straight contest. Mikheyev will skate on a line with Alexander Kerfoot and Wayne Simmonds if he does play.
Mikheyev (undisclosed) scratched for a second straight game.
Mikheyev (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision on Thursday.
Mikheyev was scratched Tuesday in Vancouver but could return to the lineup on Thursday. Mikheyev skated on the third line in the morning skate and comes in with one goal and three assists in his last six games.
Line Change
Foligno will make his Maple Leafs debut on Thursday.
Foligno was acquired from the Blue Jackets at the trade deadline and will suit up Thursday in Winnipeg. Foligno is not the same offensive presence he was in 2015 but could pack a bit of a punch on Thursday, as he debuts on the top line with Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner.
Bertuzzi (upper-body) will miss the rest of the 2021 season.
Bertuzzi has not played since January 30th, so this isn't overly surprising with Detroit all but eliminated from the playoffs. Bertuzzi finishes the season with just seven points (5G / 2A) in nine games.
Goalie Start
Knight led the Panthers onto the ice for warmups.
Mikheyev is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury.
Mikheyev will come out of the lineup Tuesday in Vancouver because of an undisclosed injury. With both Mikheyev and Zach Hyman out with injuries, look for Adam Brooks and Pierre Engvall to draw into the lineup.
Grzelcyk (upper-body) will return to the Bruins lineup on Tuesday.
Grzelcyk has missed the last five games with an upper-body injury but will play Tuesday in Buffalo. Grzelcyk will be back on the top pair and top power-play unit. He's had a tough year with injuries but has been effective when healthy, scoring three goals with 10 assists (13 points) in 25 games.
Goalie Start
Knight is expected to make his first career NHL start on Tuesday.
Goalie Start
Brossoit will start Wednesday in Montreal.
The Maple Leafs have acquired Nick Foligno and Stefan Noesen in a three-team trade with the Blue Jackets and Sharks.
Foligno, who was the Blue Jackets' captain, is known for being a great leader who plays a very reliable two-way game. At age-33, Foligno doesn't offer much in the way of offence anymore but will stabilize the Maple Leafs' middle-6 and can move up the lineup in a pinch. He has seven goals and nine assists (16 points) in 42 games this season. The Blue Jackets are retaining 50 percent of his contract and the Sharks are retaining 25 percent in exchange for a 2021 fourth-round pick.
Grzelcyk (upper-body) will not play on Sunday.
Grzelcyk was forced to leave Saturday's game with an upper-body injury and did not return. With Grzelcyk out, Jarred Tinordi will draw back into the lineup and Steven Kampfer will likely see some PP1 time.
Foligno is day-to-day with an upper-body injury.
The Blue Jackets continue to get hit hard by injuries and on Saturday they'll be without their captain. Foligno's name has been swirling on the trade market, so perhaps this is more "asset management" than "upper-body injury."
The Panthers have signed Spencer Knight to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Knight, who was the No.13 overall pick in 2019, finished his sophomore season with Boston College going 16-4-1 with a 2.18 GAA and .932 SV% and three shutouts in 21 games. The 6-foot-3, 192 lbs. netminder ranked fifth in the nation in SV% and tied for fifth in wins, the most among sophomore goaltenders.
Goalie Start
Brossoit will start Saturday in Calgary.
