Lehner will start Thursday in Arizona.

Lehner gave up three goals on 47 shots in the Blackhawks loss to the Coyotes. Lehner has dropped four of his last five starts (1-2-2) while posting a 3.28 GAA and .914 SV%. The Blackhawks give up the most shots against in the NHL, so he'll continue to be busy on a nightly basis. He'll get another shot at the Coyotes tonight, this time on the road, where he is 3-3-1 with a 2.89 GAA and .927 SV%.

The Maple Leafs have activated Mitch Marner (ankle) from IR; expected to play on Wednesday.

Marner has been out for the last 11 games with a high-ankle sprain but is expected to play Wednesday vs. the Avalanche. Marner is expected to skate with John Tavares and Ilya Mikheyev and will be back on the top power-play unit. Marner has 18 points (4G / 14A) in 18 games this year.

Marner (ankle) returned to practice Monday; not expected to play Tuesday.

Marner, who has missed the last 10 games, was back at practice on Monday but is not ruling out a return Wednesday vs. the Avalanche. Marner told reporters that he's taking it "day-by-day" so monitor his status prior to the second half of the Maple Leafs' Tuesday/Wednesday back-to-back. Marner skated on the second line with John Tavares and Ilya Mikheyev on Monday and will re-enter the lineup with 18 points (4G / 14A) in 18 games when he's healthy.

Lehner will not be available on Monday due to flu-like symptoms.

The Blackhawks have recalled Kevin Lankinen to serve as Corey Crawford's backup on Monday because Lehner is out with flu-like symptoms. After tonight, the Blackhawks are off until Thursday, so look for Lehner to be ready to go in their back-to-back in Boston (THU) and New Jersey (FRI).

Lehner will start Saturday in Colorado.

Lehner allowed one goal on 41 shots in a losing effort in Dallas last Saturday. Corey Crawford started the last two games but Lehner draws a tough assignment in Colorado on Saturday. The Blackhawks had a tough time slowing Nathan MacKinnon down last night and it will be even more difficult with Mikko Rantanen back in the lineup tonight.
