With recent injuries to Morgan Rielly (undisclosed) and Chris Tanev (upper-body), a vacancy has opened on Toronto's blueline, allowing Myers to draw into the lineup for his season debut. The 28-year-old Myers played 36 games with the Maple Leafs last season and scored five points (2G / 3A).

Robertson has appeared in all seven games for the Maple Leafs this season, but has only recorded a single point (0G / 1A), and will head to the sidelines as a healthy scratch on Friday against the Buffalo Sabres.

Nick Leddy suffered an upper-body injury in the Sharks' 6-5 win over the Rangers on Thursday, and will be out of the lineup for at least two more game.

Misa has played four of seven games for the Sharks this season to start his NHL career and has been a solid contributor, scoring two points (0G / 2A).
