Toronto Maple Leafs News

The Maple Leafs have come out of the Olympic break on a dreadful four-game losing skid (0-3-1) and will be desperate for a win on Wednesday, turning to Stolarz to tend the twine against the New Jersey Devils. The 32-year-old Stolarz played well in Monday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, saving 23 of 25 shots (.920 SV%). He has had disappointing season, but is showing encouraging signs lately, posting a 2.35 GAA and .927 SV% in has last four appearances (1-1-1). The Maple Leafs enter Wednesday's contest as slight +106 road underdogs against a Devils team that had an impressive 5-1 win over the New Jersey Devils last night.

With the trade deadline less than 48 hours away, the Maple Leafs are protecting their assets and keeping several players out of the lineup on Wednesday, including Oliver Ekman-Larsson. The 34-year-old Swedish defenseman is averaging 20:47 time-on-ice and has 35 points (8G / 27A) in 61 games, his best point production since scoring 44 points in the 2018-19 season.

Tanev has battled through a myriad of injuries this season and has officially been ruled out for the remainder of the 2025-26 campaign after undergoing core muscle surgery. The 36-year-old defenseman ends the season with just 11 games played, recording two assists and 15 blocks.

Brisson was drafted 29th overall by the Vegas Golden Knights in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, but has yet to make his presence felt at the NHL level. He has spent most of the 2025-26 season in the AHL, where he has 23 points (13G / 10A) in 46 games with the Hartford Wolf Pack. He has one assist in three games with the Golden Knights this season.

Bobrovsky had a poor showing in his previous outing, continuing a lackluster 2025-26 season by allowing five goals on 26 shots (.808 SV%) in a 5-4 loss to the New York Islanders. The veteran 37-year-old goalie has allowed three or more goals in eight of his last 10 starts (4-6-0). The Panthers enter Tuesday's action as -116 road favourites against a New Jersey Devils team that has struggled offensively, scoring three or fewer goals in nine straight games (2-7-0).

The Maple Leafs have come out of the Olympic break on a miserable three-game losing streak (0-3-0) and will hope for a better result on Monday, with Stolarz tending the twine against the Philadelphia Flyers. Stolarz played well in relief of Joseph Woll in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators, saving all 12 shots he faced. That said, the 32-year-old Stolarz only has one win in his last seven appearances (1-4-0), posting an ugly 4.38 GAA and .867 SV%. The Maple Leafs enter Monday's contest as -123 home favourites against a Flyers team on a two-game winning streak.

Merzlikins allowed three goals on 22 shots (.864 SV%) in his return from the Olympic break, a 4-2 loss to the Boston Bruins, ending a three-game winning streak. That said, the 31-year-old Latvian goalie has been reliable since Rick Bowness took over as the Blue Jackets’ new Head Coach, posting a solid 2.19 GAA and .916 SV% in seven outings (5-2-0). The Blue Jackets enter Monday's contest as -119 road favourites against a New York Rangers team that has scored two or fewer goals in five of their last six games (1-4-1).

Philippe Myers will draw into Toronto's lineup on Monday against the Philadelphia Flyers, resulting in Stecher being a healthy scratch. The 31-year-old Stecher is averaging 19:20 time-on-ice and has 11 points (3G / 8A) in 47 games this season.

Troy Stecher will be a healthy scratch on Monday, allowing Myers to re-enter the lineup against the Philadelphia Flyers. The 29-year-old Myers is averaging 13:52 time-on-ice and has two assists in 27 games this season.

Joshua has been sidelined since late December due to a kidney laceration, but will return to the lineup on Thursday against the Florida Panthers. The 29-year-old is in his first season with the Maple Leafs, recording 10 points (6G / 4A) and 127 hits in 36 games this season. Calle Jarnkrok will be a healthy scratch to accommodate Joshua's return.

Brisson was drafted 29th overall by the Vegas Golden Knights in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, but has yet to make his presence felt at the NHL level. He has spent the entire 2025-26 season in the AHL, where he has 23 points (13G / 10A) in 46 games with the Hartford Wolf Pack.

Marchenko did not play the last couple of games for the Blue Jackets heading into the Olympic break due to a lower-body injury, but he will return to the lineup on Thursday against the Boston Bruins. The 25-year-old Marchenko scored a career-high 74 points (31G / 43A) in 79 games last season, and has followed up this season, producing at a similar rate, with 46 points (19G / 27A) through 50 games.

Merzlikins was relied upon heavily after Rick Bowness took over as Head Coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets, and he will return to the crease in their first game back from the Olympic break. The 31-year-old Latvian goalie was showcasing his most consistent goaltending in several seasons before the break, winning five of his last six outings (5-1-0), posting a tremendous 2.03 GAA and .924 SV%. The Blue Jackets enter Thursday's contest as slight -104 road underdogs against a Boston Bruins team that entered the league stoppage on a 4-0-3 run.

Bobrovsky managed a winning 21-17-1 record before the Olympic break, but the Panthers will need him to elevate his game during their late-season push for a playoff spot. The 37-year-old veteran goalie lost four of 13 games (4-9-0) heading into the break, posting a dreadful 3.87 GAA and .831 SV%. Still, the Panthers enter Thursday's contest as -149 home favourites against a Toronto Maple Leafs team that played last night and lost 4-2 to the Tampa Bay Lightning.
