Robertson suffered a non-displaced fracture of his right fibula and will miss at least 10 weeks.
Toronto Maple Leafs News
Domi (rib fracture) has been placed on IR; will miss 2-to-4 weeks.
Domi had a great start to the season, picking up four points (1G / 3A) in his first two games. In that second game, he fractured his ribs and will miss at least two weeks. With Domi out, Yegor Chinakhov will make his NHL debut on the third line.
Matthews (wrist) is "planning" on making his season debut on Monday.
Matthews missed the first three games of the season but was on the ice for Sunday's practice and is planning on playing tomorrow. Matthews has averaged 59 goals per 82 games over the last two seasons and could have a legitimate chance at 60 goals in 2021-22.
Goalie Start
Stolarz will start Friday vs. the Wild.
With John Gibson out with an injury, Stolarz will start the second game of the season. Stolarz has been terrific in eight career starts with Anaheim, going 4-4-0 with a 2.18 GAA and. 929 SV%. It's not the ideal matchup, facing a Wild team that ranked ninth in scoring (3.21 GF/gm) last year but he's a decent option if you're desperate for a late-week starter.
Domi (shoulder) is expected to be in the lineup for the Blue Jackets season opener.
Domi was expected to miss at least the first month of the season but is way ahead of schedule and will play in the season opener on Thursday. Domi's production has been all over the map in the last three seasons, but he'll look to improve in 2021 under a more offensive-minded head coach.
Line Change
Groulx will make his NHL debut on Wednesday.
Jarnkrok (COVID-19) will not play in Seattle's season opener.
Jarnkrok is one of five Kraken players in COVID-19 protocol but the only one who has already been ruled out. According to The Athletic, there's a chance the other four (Oleksiak, McCann, Donskoi and Johansson) could clear protocol and play vs. the Golden Knights. Alex True and Kole Lind were recalled from the AHL and will play if needed.
Roy (undisclosed) will miss the Golden Knights season opener.
Roy remains day-to-day with an undisclosed injury and will not play Tuesday vs. the Kraken. With Roy out and Patrick Brown getting claimed off of waivers by the Flyers, the Golden Knights' fourth line is expected to feature Peyton Krebs and Pavel Dorofeyev.
Jarnkrok is in COVID-19 protocol and questionable for Seattle's season opener on Tuesday.
Matthews (wrist) will miss at least the first three games of the regular season.

The Maple Leafs have signed William Villeneuve to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Domi (shoulder) is ahead of schedule but is expected to miss the start of the 2021-22 season.
Domi's original timetable had him returning sometime in November or December. However, Blue Jackets GM Jarmo Kekäläinen reported that he's ahead of schedule in his recovery but still has a lot of tests to pass until he's ready to play.

Mermis has been primarily an AHL defenseman in recent years, picking up six goals and 37 assists (43 points) in 115 AHL games in 2019 and 2020 combined. In 2021, the 27-year-old failed to record a point in three games with the Wild.
