Nugent-Hopkins has missed the last three games with an upper-body injury but is set to play Wednesday vs. the Canadiens. Head coach Dave Tippett would not confirm his lines for Wednesday but look for Nugent-Hopkins to skate with Connor McDavid.


Hyman was forced to leave Sunday's game in Vancouver after a knee-on-knee collision with Alexander Edler. Edler was suspended for two games for the play but it will cost Hyman at least two weeks. This is a tough blow for the Maple Leafs, who rely on Hyman to do a lot of different things.



Janmark was acquired from the Blackhawks on Monday and is expected to make his debut tonight in Los Angeles. Janmark, who had 10 goals and nine assists (19 points) in 41 games with Chicago, is expected to start on the third line with Tomas Nosek and Alex Tuch.




The Blackhawks will sit Janmark a few days before the trade deadline to protect one of their potential trade pieces. Janmark has scored 10 goals with nine assists (19 points) in 41 games in his first season with the Blackhawks.






Jarry was forced to leave Monday's game vs. the Islanders with an upper-body injury and is now listed as day-to-day. With Jarry banged up, look for Casey DeSmith to start Thursday in Boston.
