Gregor will draw back into the Maple Leafs' lineup on Wednesday in Washington.

Gregor was a healthy scratch for the first half of the Maple Leafs' back-to-back on Tuesday but will draw back into the lineup for the injured Ryan Reaves (eye) on Wednesday. The 25-year-old centre signed with Toronto this season after a successful PTO and has provided a solid bottom-six option with five goals, 11 points, 99 SOG, 17 PIMs and -7 plus/minus through 56 games played.

The Avalanche reassigned Kovalenko (leg) to the Colorado Eagles (AHL) on Tuesday as he continues injury rehabilitation.

Kovalenko suffered the injury towards the end of the KHL season and will report to the Eagles for further rehabilitation before potentially getting a look at the NHL level. Kovalenko is yet to make his NHL debut but has impressed in his last few KHL seasons. The 24-year-old winger had 11 goals and 24 assists in 42 games with the Nizhny Novgorod Torpedo this season.

Rutta (lower body) will draw back into the Sharks' lineup on Tuesday vs. Nashville.

Rutta has not played since March 7th, missing five games with a lower-body injury, but will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Nashville Predators. In 56 games this season, Rutta has 15 points (3G / 12A), 57 hits, and 90 blocks.

Georgiev will start in Vancouver on Wednesday.

Georgiev will be back between the pipes for the Avalanche on Wednesday after Justus Annunen got the nod in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Flames. Georgiev's last appearance came on Friday against the Wild, when he allowed just a single goal on 30 shots as Colorado managed to pick up the overtime victory over the Wild. Georgiev owns a rather disappointing .901 SV% on the season but has still managed a 33-15-3 record thanks to some outstanding goal support. He'll have his hands full on Wednesday when he and the Avs travel to Vancouver to take on the leaders of the Western Conference.

Ostapchuk has been recalled from Belleville (AHL) on Tuesday and is expected to make his debut.

Ostapchuk was the 39th overall pick of the Senators in the 2021 NHL Draft. The 20-year-old Ostapchuk is in his first professional season and has tallied 22 points (13G / 9A) in 56 with the Belleville Senators (AHL). He is expected to make his debut on Tuesday vs. Pittsburgh.

Toffoli is expected to make his Jets' debut on Monday vs. Washington.

The Jets acquired Tyler Toffoli from the Devils for a 2025 second-round pick and a 2024 third-round pick before last week's trade deadline. Toffoli joined the New Jersey Devils in the offseason and was off to a blistering start, scoring 21 points (12G / 9A) in his first 21 games before slowing down to a more modest 23 points (14G / 9A) in his 40 subsequent games. Nevertheless, Toffoli adds a significant boost to the offensive depth of a Jets team that has already bolstered their lineup by adding Sean Monahan several weeks ago.

Kostin is available to make his Sharks’ debut on Saturday.

Kostin was dealt to San Jose as part of a trade deadline deal on Friday and is expected to make his Sharks' debut on Saturday vs. Ottawa. The 24-year-old had struggled in his first season in Detroit, with only three goals, one assist, 22 SOG, 38 PIMs and a -2 plus/minus through 33 games before being traded.
