Kapanen, 20, has been recalled because the Maple Leafs are without Josh Leivo and Nikita Soshnikov. Kapanen has had a strong year with the Marlies, posting 18 goals and 25 assists (43 points) in 43 games. He has not recorded a point in his first nine NHL games.
Sundqvist, 22, has 40 points (17G / 23A) in 55 games with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton this season. He has yet to record a point in for NHL games, but has four points (1G / 3A) in 22 career NHL games.
Parayko missed Saturday’s game vs. the Islanders, but will return tonight in Los Angeles. Parayko has registered 30 points (4G / 26A) in 66 games this season and should be active in all formats.
Parayko left last night’s game with an undisclosed injury and did not return. Parayko left after playing 13:31 and should be considered a game-time decision for tonight’s game.
Buchnevich went down for one game and scored two goals, so he comes back with Jesper Fast out for a few weeks. He could draw into the lineup in Boston on Thursday.
Suter left Tuesday’s game in Winnipeg after playing just 10:20 TOI. Suter doesn’t miss time, so expect him to do everything he can to be ready for Thursday’s game in Columbus. Monitor his status during the morning skate.
Buchnevich has been a healthy scratch for the last three games and was sent to Hartford this afternoon to create a roster spot to add Brendan Smith from Detroit today. Buchnevich has had a really inconsistent season and has had his play fall off a lot recently.
