The Ducks have recalled Simon Benoit from San Diego (AHL).
Toronto Maple Leafs News
Line Change
Roy is expected to be a healthy scratch on Sunday.
Tavares (finger) will return to the Maple Leafs lineup on Tuesday.
Tavares missed seven games with a fractured finger but will play Tuesday vs. the Kings. Unsurprisingly, the Maple Leafs struggled without their captain, going 3-2-2 while averaging 3.00 goals per game versus 4-3-1 while averaging 3.88 goals per game with him in the lineup. He'll return with seven points (3G / 4A) in eight games and will play on a line with Mitch Marner and Trevor Moore.
Muzzin (personal) will be back in the Maple Leafs lineup on Tuesday.
Muzzin missed Saturday's game in Philadelphia due to a personal matter but will play vs. his former team on Tuesday. Muzzin has amassed nine points (3G / 6A) in 14 games so far this season.
The Golden Knights have recalled Nic Roy from Chicago (AHL).
Roy returns to the NHL because Vegas starts a four-game road-trip on Tuesday but also because Alex Tuch was hurt in their last game. Roy, who scored a goal in his season debut (Oct.27), would likely take Tuch's spot in the lineup if he can't play in Columbus. During his time in the AHL, the 22-year-old centre has picked up just one assist in seven games.
Tavares (finger) will not play on Saturday.
The Maple Leafs were hopeful that Tavares would be able to return to the lineup on Saturday but head coach Mike Babcock ruled him out this morning. Look for the captain to return vs. the Kings on Tuesday.
Muzzin (personal) will not play on Saturday.
Muzzin was banged up against Capitals but he won't play Saturday due to a personal reason, not injury. This is a positive development and suggests that Muzzin could be back as soon as Tuesday vs. the Kings.
Tavares (finger) will travel to Philadelphia; hopeful to play on Saturday.
Tavares has missed the last six games with a broken finger but was a full participant in the Maple Leafs' practice on Friday and he is "hopeful" to play on Saturday. Toronto went 2-2-2 without Tavares and he comes back with seven points (3G / 4A) in eight games, whenever he's healthy.
The Flyers have placed Scott Laughton (broken finger) on LTIR.
Laughton was originally expected to miss one month with a broken finger, so his move to LTIR opens up a roster spot and provides the Flyers with some cap relief. Philadelphia brought Carsen Twarnyski back from Lehigh Valley (AHL) to take Laughton's spot on the roster.
The Flyers recalled Philippe Myers from Lehigh Valley (AHL) on Thursday.
Philadelphia shuffled their roster ahead of Friday's tilt in New Jersey. Myers has four assists in six AHL games this season and recorded one goal and one assist (two points) in 21 games with Philadelphia in 2019-20.
Tavares (finger) returned to practice on Wednesday.
Tavares was originally expected to miss two weeks with a broken finger and he will hit that two-week mark on Thursday. Returning to practice on Wednesday is a positive sign that he is on-track in his recovery and means he could be an option on Saturday.
Muzzin left Tuesday's game with a leg injury and missed Wednesday's practice.
Muzzin is believed to be dealing with a charley horse, so you have to think he'll be available for Saturday's game in Philadelphia. Muzzin has quietly picked up nine points (3G / 6A) in 14 games this season.
The Golden Knights have assigned Nicolas Roy to Chicago (AHL).
Roy scored his first career goal on Sunday but gets sent back to the AHL on Monday. The Golden Knights are off until Thursday, so this could simply be a paper move but Alex Tuch is also nearing a return to the lineup so Roy could be clearing a roster spot for him to be activated.
The Jets have recalled Logan Shaw from Manitoba (AHL).
Shaw has registered three goals and two assists (five points) in eight games with the Moose this season. He comes up to replace Mason Appleton, who was placed on IR with a broken foot. Shaw has 31 points (12G / 18A) in 180 career NHL games with the Panthers, Ducks and Canadiens.
Laughton will miss one month with a broken finger.
Laughton has enjoyed a solid start to 2019-20, registering there assists in nine games before breaking his finger on Saturday. Tyler Pitlick replaced him on Sunday and will likely continue to do so over the next month.
Line Change
Roy will make his Golden Knights debut on Sunday.
Tavares will miss at least two weeks with a broken finger.
Tavares sustained a broken finger late in the Maple Leafs’ loss to the Capitals on Wednesday. Tavares will be out for at least two weeks and will be re-evaluated by the medical staff at that point. This is obviously a massive blow for the Maple Leafs and a rarity for Tavares, who has only missed a combined nine games over the last five seasons.
Dahlstrom will draw into the Jets lineup on Saturday.
Dahlstrom is expected to be a healthy scratch on Thursday.
Dahlstrom has not recorded a point and is a minus-2 while play 22:04 ATOI in his first two games with the Jets. Dmitry Kulikov (personal) will replace Dahlstrom on Thursday.
The Jets have claimed Carl Dahlstrom off of waivers from the Blackhawks.
Dahlstrom was originally selected in the second round of the 2013 NHL Draft and has appeared in 49 NHL games over the last two seasons. The 24-year-old has spent most of his time in the AHL, where he had eight points (1G / 7A) in 22 games last year but will serve as an extra defenseman in Winnipeg this season.
