Toronto Maple Leafs News
Tanev missed the last 11 games with a leg issue but will play Wednesday vs. the Rangers. Tanev will likely skate on the top pair with Alex Edler. He has 12 points (2G / 10A) in 53 games this season.
With Mikko Koskinen sick, Stolarz will make his first start with the Oilers against the Maple Leafs. Stolarz was 4-3-3 with a 3.33 GAA and .902 SV% in 12 games with the Flyers earlier this season and 2-0-0 with 3.58 GAA and .901 SV% in five AHL games. He has shown the ability to stand on his head at times but is far too inconsistent to be relied upon tonight vs. a dangerous Toronto team.
Kampf has missed the last 12 games with a right foot injury but will play tonight vs. the Sabres. Kampf, who has three goals and 13 assists (16 points) in 50 games this season, will centre the fourth line with Chris Kunitz and Marcus Kruger.
McCabe’s season is likely over as the Sabres announced the defenseman will miss 5-6 weeks with an upper-body injury that he suffered in Toronto on Saturday. Matt Hunwick will be in the Sabres lineup on Monday with McCabe out. He finishes the year with 14 points (4G / 10A), a minus-7 rating, 59 shots and 35 PIMS in 55 games.
Dahlstrom missed the morning skate with an illness and will be a game-time call for Friday’s game against the Avalanche. Brent Seabrook likely isn’t available tonight so the Blackhawks will need to recall a defenseman if Dahlstrom can’t play.
Myers made his NHL debut in Detroit on Sunday but sat as a healthy scratch on Tuesday. Myers only played 9:53 TOI in his debut because he was the seventh defenseman but he is expected to skate on the second pairing with Shayne Gostisbehere tonight.
Myers recorded one shot and a plus-1 rating in 9:53 TOI in his NHL debut on Sunday. The Flyers will go back to 12 forwards and six defensemen on Tuesday, which means Justin Bailey will replace him in the lineup.
Dahlstrom has been in the lineup for the last four games but will be replaced by Gustav Forsling on Monday.
Benning has missed the last three games and was moved to IR to open up a roster spot in order to call-up Sam Gagner, who was acquired from the Canucks this morning.
