Jacob MacDonald will be a healthy scratch on Thursday, allowing Thrun to remain in the lineup. Thrun has two points (1G / 1A) and six shots on goal in his last four games.
Dellandrea appears to be the odd-man out on Wednesday with Tyler Seguin set to return from a lower-body injury. Dellandrea has two goals and seven assists in 40 games this season.
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.
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.

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.
Desharnais played only 12:29 time-on-ice before exiting Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Colorado Avalanche due to a hand injury. The 27-year-old Desharanais has nine points (1G / 8A), 98 hits, and 96 blocks in 63 games this season.
Regenda has played the last four games for the Ducks but has been reassigned to the San Diego Gulls of the AHL. The 24-year-old Slovak forward has been held off the scoresheet in five games with the Ducks this season.
Michael Pezzetta will be a healthy scratch on Thursday, allowing White to re-enter the lineup. White has not played since March 2nd and has failed to record a point in 16 games this season.
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.
Max Jones will be out of the lineup on Tuesday due to an illness, allowing Regenda the opportunity to draw back in. Regenda last played on March 6th, tallying one shot and one hit in 12:15 time-on-ice.

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.

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.
Regenda made his season debut on Thursday will report back to San Diego on Friday. He has 16 goals and 13 assists in 38 AHL games this season.
