Jarnkrok (undisclosed) is out for Toronto's final game of the season in Ottawa on Wednesday.

Jarnkrok exited Monday's 6-5 loss to the Dallas Stars early due to an undisclosed injury, and he will be sidelined for Wednesday's game against the Ottawa Senators. The 34-year-old Jarnkrok concludes the 2025-26 season with eight points (6G / 2A) in 56 games. Michael Pezzetta will draw into the lineup as Jarnkrok's replacement.

Hildeby will start in Ottawa on Wednesday.

The Maple Leafs will close out a disappointing 2025-26 season on Wednesday, turning to Hildeby to tend the twine against the Ottawa Senators. The 24-year-old Hildeby has not seen NHL action since mid-January, but was solid in a brief stint with the Maple Leafs, posting a 2.90 GAA and .910 SV% in 19 games (5-6-4). The Maple Leafs enter Wednesday's contest as +174 road underdogs against a Senators team awaiting their first-round playoff matchup against the Carolina Hurricanes.

Toronto has sent Artur Akhtyamov to the Toronto Marlies (AHL) on Tuesday.

Akhtyamov's brief NHL stint is over for the time being after the 24-year-old net-minder was returned to the Toronto Marlies (NCAA) on Tuesday in exchange for Dennis Hildeby. Akhtyamov made his NHL debut this season but has struggled mightily in just three appearances, with a 0-2-0 record, a 5.24 GAA and .877 SV%.

Akhtyamov will start against the Stars on Monday.

Akhtyamov gave up five goals on 44 shots against in his first career start last week but will look for better fortune in his second start Monday as the Leafs host Dallas with him between the pipes. The 24-year-old joins a long list of Toronto starter's used during their lost 2025-26 season after he posted a 20-12-6 record, alongside a 2.90 GAA and .903 SV% with the Toronto Marlies (AHL) earlier this year. He will likely take on a short-handed Dallas Stars team, who has locked up the second spot in the Central Division.

Tverberg is expected to make his NHL debut on Monday.

With Toronto's season over, they are trying new faces in the lineup on Monday as Ryan Tverberg is expected to make his NHL debut, replacing Michael Pezzetta. The 24-year-old forward was Toronto's 2020 7th round pick (213th overall) and had 14 goals and 32 points in 61 games with the Toronto Marlies (AHL) earlier this season.

Woll will start Saturday vs. the Panthers.

Woll allowed three goals on 17 shots in relief in the Maple Leafs' loss to the Capitals on Wednesday. Woll has gone 1-4-3 with a 3.98 GAA and .888 SV% ins his last eight outings and has become a risky fantasy option with the Maple Leafs' season going down the drain. With that said, on Saturday, he'll face a Panthers team that has been completely decimated by injuries, making him a viable desperation start. Woll and the Maple Leafs are -133 home favourites.
