Matthews has missed the last two games with a wrist issue but will play Wednesday in Edmonton. Mathews, who has 18 goals and 13 assists (31 points) in 20 games this season, will skate with Joe Thornton and Mitch Marner.







Matthews has been dealing with a hand injury and missed Friday’s practice, making him questionable for Saturday’s game. Friday was believed to be more maintenance-related, so expect him to play in the battle of MVP candidates.


The Maple Leafs are uncertain of how long Muzzin will be out but he'll need to wear a full face shield when he returns. It sounds like it will be a pain tolerance type of situation, so consider Muzzin as day-to-day.

The Flyers will return to the ice for the first time in 10 days after a COVID-19 outbreak but will do so without six regulars. Laughton, Claude Giroux, Jakub Voracek, Travis Konecny, Justin Braun and Oskar Lindblom will all miss Tuesday's game against the Rangers.




Jarnkrok has been out since the third game of the season but head coach John Hynes said that he "looked good" in practice on Wednesday and he "anticipates" he'll play on Thursday. The Predators placed Brad Richardson on IR on Wednesday, clearing the way for Jarnkrok to be activated.

Johnson was an undrafted free agent who spent last year in Rockford (AHL), picking up four goals and four assists (eight points) in 52 games. Johnson will replace Nicolas Beaudin, who dressed as a No.7 defenseman on Friday but was added to the COVID-19 protocol list on Saturday.

Myers has been out since January 19th but will be back in the Flyers lineup on Saturday. Myers is expected to skate with Travis Sanheim and comes in pointless in his first four games of the season.
