Mrazek has not played since October 30th, so he'll go to the AHL to get some game action before returning to the Maple Leafs' crease. It's unclear if he will need one or multiple starts with the Marlies.

Johnston has regularly been a healthy scratch, so it's unclear if he will slot back into the lineup after clearing COVID-19 protocol.

McTavish played nine games with the Ducks, so sending him back to the OHL preserves the first year of his entry-level contract. The 18-year-old had two goals and one assist with the Ducks after going No.3 overall in this summer's draft.

Johnston has been a healthy scratch almost all season, so this probably doesn't change his status for this weekend's back-to-back. He joins Josh Bailey and Anders Lee on the protocol list.

With Cedric Paquette landing on IR on Wednesday, Poehling will centre the fourth line vs. the Flames. Poehling has scored three goals with three assists (six points) in seven AHL games this season.
