With William Nylander (lower body) out of the lineup on Wednesday, Blais will make his season debut against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The 29-year-old Blais spent the entirety of the 2024-25 season in the AHL, but is no stranger to the NHL, with 71 points (27G / 44A) in 257 career games.

Nylander has been battling a nagging injury the last week, being in and out of the lineup, and will sit again on Wednesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The 29-year-old Nylander played last night and record an assist in a 4-3 win over the Calgary Flames. He has 15 points (3G / 12A) in nine games this season. Sammy Blais will draw into the lineup, filling in for Nylander.

On the tail end of a back-to-back, a night after defeating the Calgary Flames 4-3, the Maple Leafs will turn to Primeau between the pipes on Wednesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Wednesday's start could mark Primeau's final appearance in the Maple Leafs crease before Joseph Woll (personal) returns to action. The 26-year-old Primeau has a 3.46 GAA and .875 SV% in two games this season (2-0-0). The Maple Leafs enter Wednesday's game as +109 road underdogs against the Blue Jackets.

Toronto has had an inconsistent 4-4-1 start to the 2025-26 season and hopes to start a winning streak on Tuesday, turning to Stolarz between the pipes against the Calgary Flames. The 31-year-old Stolarz has battled through his own adversity this season, posting a 3.31 GAA and .885 SV% in seven games (2-4-1), a far cry from the elite numbers he posted a season ago. Still, the Maple Leafs enter Tuesday's contest as -177 home favorites against a Flames team off to a miserable 2-7-1 start to the season

Jarnkrok showed no signs of an injury in Toronto's most recent game but he was absent from practice on Monday with a lower-body injury.

Woll has been away from the team for the past four weeks, since the preseason, to tend to personal matters, but has officially rejoined the team. He started in exactly half of Toronto's games last season, posting a 2.73 GAA and .909 SV%, and was likely poised to see similar totals in 2025-26. Maple Leafs' GM Brad Treliving mentioned that Woll will not be ready until after November 1st and could be loaned to the Marlies (AHL) for a conditioning stint.
