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.
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 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.
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."
