Toronto Maple Leafs News
Goalie Start
Stolarz will start Saturday in Pittsburgh.
Stolarz allowed four goals on 24 shots in the Flyers loss to the Senators on Tuesday. The Flyers appeared to have the game well in-hand but blew a multi-goal lead in the third period. Stolarz has now given up six goals on 59 shots (.898 SV%) in two appearances so far this season. He is a risky option against a high-powered Penguins team on the road.
Matthews (shoulder) will return to the Maple Leafs lineup on Wednesday.
Matthews has missed the last 14 games with a shoulder injury but will be back tonight vs. the Sharks. With Matthews back, Frederik Gauthier will be a healthy scratch. In his first seven games, Matthews had 16 points (10G / 6A) but was held pointless in the next four games. Matthews will likely be back between Patrick Marleau and Kasperi Kapanen.
Stecher will draw back into the Canucks lineup on Tuesday.
Goalie Start
Stolarz will start Tuesday vs. the Senators.
Stolarz made 33 saves on 35 shots after replacing Calvin Pickard in the Flyers loss in Toronto on Saturday. It was a strong showing for the 24-year-old and likely earned himself a start tonight vs. Ottawa. Stolarz was 2-0-0 and stopped 64 of the 72 (.889 SV%) shots he faced in just three games with Lehigh Valley (AHL) before being called-up. He owns a 2.11 GAA and .931 SV% in limited NHL action.

The Flyers recalled Anthony Stolarz from Lehigh Valley (AHL) on Friday night.
Matthews (shoulder) will miss at least the next three games.
The Maple Leafs don’t want to rush their star centre back, so they will wait for him to get through a full-contact practice before he returns to the lineup. Matthews will miss at least three games, so his next opportunity to return to practice is next Tuesday.
The Coyotes have sent Dakota Mermis to Tucson (AHL).
Mermis, 24, has played just one game with the Coyotes and returns to the Roadrunners where he has five points (1G / 4A) in nine games. His return to the AHL suggests that one or both of Jakob Chychrun and Alex Goligoski will return on Wednesday.
The Rangers sent Vinni Lettieri to Hartford (AHL).
Lettieri appeared in 14 games with the Rangers before being sent down, but only averaged 8:53 TOI/gm. The 23-year-old failed to record a point in those 14 games and heads to Hartford, where he had 36 points (23G / 13A) in 55 games a season ago.
The Coyotes have recalled Dakota Mermis from Tucson (AHL).
Mermis has yet to appear in a game with the Coyotes this season but has been recalled because Jakob Chychrun is out again. Mermis has five points (1G / 4A) in nine games with Tucson.
Jarnkrok (lower-body) will be back in the Predators lineup on Thursday.
Jarnkrok has missed the last three games with a lower-body injury, but will play tonight in Arizona. Jarnkrok will skate with Kyle Turris and Craig Smith, but has just three goals and two assists in 15 games this season.
Carlo (upper-body) will not play on Wednesday.
Carlo missed Sunday’s game vs. the Golden Knights and will miss at least Wednesday’s game as well. Carlo won’t initially travel with the team on their upcoming trip, but is expected to re-join the team at some point.
Carlo (upper-body) is not expected play on Sunday.
Line Change
Lettieri will be a healthy scratch on Saturday.
Jarnkrok (lower-body) will not play on Saturday.
Line Change
Lettieri will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday.
The Coyotes have recalled Dakota Mermis from Tucson (AHL).
Mermis has recorded five points (1G / 4A) in nine games with the Roadrunners this season. Alex Goligoski and Jason Demers were not on the ice for Coyotes’ practice on Tuesday, which could have something to do with Mermis being called-up.
Tanev (hip) will be back in the Canucks lineup on Tuesday.
Tanev has missed the last five games with a hip issue that he suffered while blocking a shot in Vegas on October 24th. Tanev will likely log huge minutes while Alex Edler is out, which is nothing new for the Canucks blueliner, who was already playing nearly 22 minutes per night this season.
Boyd (foot) is expected to make his season debut on Monday.
Boyd has missed the first 12 games of the season, but is set to make his season debut vs. the Oilers. The 25-year-old had one assist in eight games with the Capitals last season and one assist in two games with Hershey (AHL) during his conditioning stint. He will replace Nic Dowd on the Capitals’ fourth line.
