Leivo (foot) will not play in the Maple Leafs season opener.

Leivo has been battling a foot injury and will be held out of the season opener after having a great preseason. The Maple Leafs have yet to provide a timetable, but the injury is not expected to be serious and Leivo should be considered day-to-day.

The Islanders have acquired Nick Leddy and Kent Simpson from the Blackhawks for TJ Brennan, Ville Pokka and goaltender Anders Nilsson.

Leddy, 23, had seven goals with 24 assists (31 points) in 82 games with the Blackhawks last season. Leddy has never missed a regular season game in three NHL seasons and should be in the Isles' top-4 with a lot of power-play time.

The Bruins have signed Torey Krug to a one-year, $1.4 million dollar deal.

Krug, 23, had 14 goals and 26 assists (40 points) with a plus-18 rating in his rookie season. The 5-foot-9 defenseman has a ton of offensive talent and will play a prominent role on the Bruins' power-play this season. The $1.4 million dollar cap-hit is a one-year steal for the Bruins. He will be a restricted free-agent at the end of next season.

The Blues acquired Carl Gunnarsson in exchange for Roman Polak and a fourth-round pick on Saturday.

Gunnarsson had three goals and 14 assists in 80 games with the Maple Leafs last season. He averaged 19:25 TOI playing on the top pairing with Dion Phaneuf. He will likely slot in on the Blues' bottom pair or on the second unit with Kevin Shattenkirk. He will be better off playing a reduced role in St. Louis.

Fowler (leg) will be a game-time decision on Wednesday.

Fowler has been out since March 14th with a leg injury. His return would be huge for the Ducks blueline, having put home six goals with 30 assists (36 points) in 67 games this season. Puck-drop is at 10:30 p.m ET tonight, so monitor his status in warm-ups at 10 p.m.

The Hurricanes have signed defenseman Justin Faulk to a six-year, $29-million dollar contract extension.

Faulk, 22, has three goals and 21 assists (24 points) in 65 games this season. He was a U.S Olympian this season which speaks to his talent in the early stages of his NHL career. In 169 career NHL games, Faulk has 16 goals and 45 assists (61 points). The deal will carry an annual cap-hit of $4.9 million.

Fowler (lower-body) was not at Monday's practice.

Fowler missed Saturday's game after suffering a lower-body injury on Thursday in Colorado. The Ducks have an extremely deep blueline, so Fowler will not be rushed back. His absence likely opens the door for Stephane Robidas to make his Ducks debut on Tuesday.

Cam Fowler
Faulk (upper-body) returned to practice on Wednesday.

Faulk has missed the last four games with an upper-body injury he suffered on March 2nd in Anaheim. He took part in the Hurricanes' optional skate on Tuesday, but this is his first full practice back with the team. His status for Thursday's game remains unknown, so monitor his availability for tomorrow's game-day skate.
