Toronto Maple Leafs News

Uvis Balinksin will draw into the Panters' lineup on Tuesday, making Ekman-Larsson a healthy scratch. Ekman-Larsson has 30 points (9G / 21A) in 78 games this season.

Roy did not play on Friday and will likely miss at least two more games as he did not travel with the Golden Knights on their two-game road trip. Before his injury, Roy has three points (0G / 3A) in his last seven games.

Roy left Tuesday's matchup against Vancouver after just 12:25 TOI due to an undisclosed injury and will be out on Friday after missing practice today. The 27-year-old is considered day-to-day going forward but is not expected to miss a large amount of time. He is in the middle of one of the best seasons of his seven-year career with 11 goals, 38 points, 107 SOG and 29 PIMs in 66 games played before the injury.

Ilya Samsonov played the last two games for the Maple Leafs but they will turn to Woll on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Lightning in an attempt to win four straight. Woll has allowed three or fewer goals in three of his last four (2-2-0), including a strong performance in his last outing, saving 23 of 24 shots (.958 SV%) in a 5-1 win over the Washington Capitals. The Maple Leafs enter action as -120 home favourites.

Tanev briefly left Saturday's game against the Seattle Kraken after receiving a high hit from Adam Larsson that earned him a five-minute major and a game misconduct. The 34-year-old Tanev missed several shifts but completed the game and, after being evaluated, was a full participant at practice on Tuesday and is not expected to miss any time.

After not missing a single game due to injury, Rielly has missed four straight due to an upper-body injury. The 30-year-old All-Star defenseman has enjoyed a very strong year leading the Maple Leafs' point, with seven goals, 51 points, 165 SOG, 27 PIMs and a +8 plus/minus through 65 games. Mark Giordano will likely be the odd man out of the lineup, allowing Rielly to make his return on Wednesday.

Groulx will take a seat on Tuesday as Ross Johnston draws back into the Ducks' lineup. Groulx has no goals and two assists in 43 games this season.

Lorentz was a healthy scratch last night in Toronto, but he will replace Jonah Gadjovich, presumably on the fourth line, on Tuesday. Lorentz has just three points (1G / 2A) in 34 games

With Florida on the second half of a back-to-back, Anthony Stolarz will get the call in Montreal after stopping six shots in a relief appearance vs. Toronto on Monday. The 30-year-old veteran has been arguably the league's best backup goaltender in his first season in Florida, with his 14-6-2 record, 1.99 GAA, and .926 SV%. He heads to Montreal to take on the Canadiens on Tuesday, who have won three of their last four games despite still having the 28th most goals per game in the league (2.68).

Rifai was a healthy scratch on Monday and has been reassigned back to the Toronto Marlies (AHL). The 26-year-old Rifai has 17 points (2G / 15A) in 49 games with the Marlies this season.

Stecher will be the odd-man out on the Oilers' blue-line as Brett Kulak (undisclosed) and Cody Ceci (illness) are both available for Monday's game. Stecher has one assist in four games with the Oilers since being acquired from the Coyotes.

The Leafs announced the signing of the college free-agent during their game against the Panthers on Monday night. The contract will officially begin during the 2024-25 season, and Quillan will technically spend the rest of this season on an amateur try-out in the AHL with the Toronto Marlies. Quillan scored 17 goals and 29 assists in 39 games with Quinnipac University this season, and was notably named the 2023 Frozen Four Most Outstanding Player.

Lorentz and Nick Cousins will be healthy scratches on Monday as Jonah Gadjovich and Ryan Lomberg will draw back into the lineup. Lorentz has three points (1G / 2A) and 60 hits in 34 games this season.
