Pontus Holmberg will draw back into the lineup on Friday against the Buffalo Sabres, sending Reaves back to the press box as a healthy scratch. The 37-year-old Reaves has played seven of the last eight games for the Maple Leafs and has one point (0G / 1A) and 70 hits in 23 games this season.
Ryan Reaves will be a healthy scratch on Friday against the Buffalo Sabres, allowing Holmberg to re-enter the lineup. The 25-year-old Holmberg is averaging 13:09 time-on-ice and has six points (2G / 4A) in 28 games this season.
Hildeby was recalled last week when Anthony Stolarz suffered a lower-body injury. Stolarz remains sidelined but Hildeby has been assigned to the Marlies (AHL), swapping placed with Matt Murray. The 23-year-old Hildeby played for the Maple Leafs on Sunday, saving 24 of 27 shots (.889 SV%) in a 5-3 win over the Buffalo Sabres.
Dennis Hildeby was reassigned to the Marlies, swapping places with Murray. The 30-year-old Murray has not played an NHL game since the 2022-23 season, when he recorded a 3.01 GAA and .903 SV% in 26 games with the Maple Leafs (14-8-2). He has been impressive in limited AHL action this season, posting a 1.85 GAA and .931 SV% in eight games (4-1-2).
Myers will take a seat on Wednesday as Conor Timmins draws back into the Leafs lineup. Myers has no goals and one assist in seven games this season.
With Anthony Stolarz (lower body) expected to miss several weeks, the Maple Leafs crease will belong with Woll. The 26-year-old Woll boasts a terrific 2.24 GAA and .918 SV% in 12 games this season (8-4-0). In his young career, Woll has only faced the Stars once but was excellent in that outing last season, recording a victory and saving 31 of 32 shots (.969 SV%). The Maple Leafs enter Wednesday's contest as +121 road underdogs against a Stars club riding a two-game winning streak.
Kampf has not played since November 16th and will return from a one-month absence on Wednesday against the Dallas Stars. The 29-year-old Kampf was averaging 12:18 time-on-ice before his injury, recording three points (0G / 3A) and 15 hits in 18 games.
Stolarz was able to play the first period of last Thursday night's game but did not join his teammates for the start of the second due to a lower-body injury. The 30-year-old netminder's absence from the team will be a tough loss for a club that has relied on him, posting a stellar 2.15 GAA and .927 SV% in 17 games (9-5-2). Joseph Woll will likely see the majority of the action between the pipes while Stolarz is out of the lineup, with Dennis Hildeby serving as his backup.
Johnson was a healthy scratch on Sunday, the third time in the last four games, and has been reassigned to the Iowa Wild (AHL). The 26-year-old Johnson is averaging 9:32 time-on-ice and has zero point in three games with Minnesota this season.
Stolarz was able to play the first period of Thursday night's game but was unable to join his teammates for the start of the second due to a lower-body injury. Joseph Woll will likely be exclusively in the crease for the Maple Leafs while Stolarz is injured but the team also recalled Dennis Hildeby on Friday from the Marlies (AHL).
