Muzzin was forced to leave Tuesday's game after blocking a shot and it was announced on Wednesday morning that he broke his hand. Muzzin, who the battered Maple Leafs could ill afford to lose, will miss at least one month. Four weeks will cause Muzzin to miss roughly 14 games of Toronto's remaining 18 games. Calle Rosen, who was acquired at the trade deadline, has been recalled from the AHL to replace Muzzin.
Muzzin was set to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season but will now be with the Maple Leafs through the 2024 season. The 6-foot-3, 213 lbs. defenseman has scored five goals with 17 assists (22 points) while averaging 2.1 blocks and 2.1 hits per game in 52 games this season.
With Cody Eakin set to make his Jets debut, Shaw will sit out in Buffalo. Shaw has picked up just one assist in his last nine games.
Nylander has missed the last two games with an illness but was back at practice on Monday and is expected to play tonight vs. the Coyotes. Before getting sick, Nylander had 26 points (14G / 12A) in his last 20 games.
Tavares missed Monday's practice with an illness and will be a game-time decision tonight vs. the Coyotes. Tavares is reportedly feeling much better but his status is still up in the air.
Jarnkrok has missed the last five games with an illness but will play tonight in Vancouver. Jarnkrok has often been featured in the Predators top-6 this season but will make his return on the fourth-line with Colton Sissons and Austin Watson.
Ekman-Larsson has missed the last four games with a lower-body injury but was a full participant in Sunday’s practice. Head coach Rick Tocchet listed him as a game-time decision for Monday’s game in Montreal.
Carlo missed Saturday's game due to a personal matter but will replace Jeremy Lauzon in the lineup on Sunday. Carlo has four goals and 13 assists (17 points) in 55 games this season.
Roy has appeared in eight straight games with the Golden Knights and he'll likely be in the lineup on Tuesday. This is probably just for some extra cap savings as we get closer to the NHL Trade Deadline.
Nylander was a surprise scratch last night and did not travel to Montreal for Saturday's game. With Nylander out on Friday, Andreas Johnsson moved up to the first line and Zach Hyman saw time on the top power-play unit.
Ekman-Larsson has missed the last three games with a lower-body injury but is expected to travel on the Coyotes upcoming road trip. Monitor his status prior to Saturday's game in Boston.
Carlo has returned home to attend to a personal matter, so he won't play Saturday but is expected to re-join them in Detroit for Sunday's game. John Moore is expected to replace Carlo vs. the Coyotes.
Ekman-Larsson won't play Tuesday vs. the Oilers which means the Coyotes will lean heavily on Jakob Chychrun and Alex Goligoski for another game. Ekman-Larsson is day-to-day.
Ekman-Larsson was forced to leave Thursday's game vs. the Kings and will be a game-time decision tonight vs. the Blackhawks. Kyle Capobianco was recalled from the AHL and could play if O.E.L can't play on Saturday.
With Cody Glass and William Karlsson both still out, Roy will return to the fourth line on Friday. Roy has two goals and three assists (five points) in 14 NHL games this season.
