Robertson will enter the lineup in place of Ryan Reaves, who is a healthy scratch. The 23-year-old Robertson has been limited to only one point (1G / 0A) in nine games this season.

After a one-game absence, Thrun will re-enter the Sharks lineup on Thursday night against the Chicago Blackhawks. The 23-year-old Thrun is averaging 16:16 time-on-ice and has one point (0G / 1A), 12 blocks, seven hits, and a -9 plus/minus through 10 games this season.

The Maple Leafs have been bleeding defensively lately, being outscored 19-12 over their last four games (1-2-1), and will turn to Woll for his second start of the season. Woll showed some rust last week, returning from a lower-body injury, allowing four goals on 26 shots (.846 SV%) in his season debut, a 5-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues. That said, the Maple Leafs handed the Winnipeg Jets their first loss of the season in their last outing and will enter the action against the Seattle Kraken on Thursday as -184 home favorites.

The Canadiens had a disastrous 8-2 loss against the Seattle Kraken in their last outing and will rotate to Primeau in the crease on Thursday against the Washington Capitals. Primeau entered Tuesday's loss to Seattle in relief of Samuel Montembeault, allowing three goals on 13 shots (.769 SV%). That said, Primeau has been solid in his previous three outings (1-0-1), posting a .907 SV%. The Canadiens enter the action on Tuesday as +180 road underdogs against the Washington Capitals.

Benning will likely fill a depth role for the Maple Leafs and does not figure to earn a lot of immediate playing time. He was yet to register a point and was a -5 through seven games with the Sharks this season. Benning leaves San Jose after totaling one goal and 25 assists in 98 games over parts of three seasons.

Thrun will draw out of the lineup alongside Klim Kostin and Givani Smith as the Sharks opt to get some fresh bodies into the lineup for the tail-end of their back-to-back. Will Smith, Ethan Cardwell, and Jack Thompson will enter the lineup in their place.

Pezzetta being a healthy scratch on Tuesday likely indicates that Juraj Slafkovsky (shoulder) will make his return to the lineup from a three-game absence. The 26-year-old Pezzetta has zero point in three games with the Canadiens this season.

The Maple Leafs, riding a season-worst three-game losing streak (0-2-1), will turn to Stolarz in the crease for a second consecutive outing. Before Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Boston Bruins when Stolarz allowed four goals on 34 shots (.882 SV%), he had allowed two or fewer goals in each of his previous five contests (3-2-0). The 30-year-old netminder has a solid 2.19 GAA and .927 SV% in six appearances. The Maple Leafs enter the action on Monday as slight -101 road underdogs against the undefeated Winnipeg Jets (8-0-0).

Jack Thompson will be a healthy scratch on Monday, allowing Benning to draw back into the lineup. The 30-year-old Benning, in his ninth NHL season, has zero points, a -5 plus/minus, six blocks, and eight hits through five games.

Pontus Holmberg will draw into the Maple Leafs lineup on Monday against the Winnipeg Jets, resulting in Robertson being a scratch for the first time this season. The 23-year-old Robertson has been limited to only one point (1G / 0A) in nine games this season.

Myers made his season debut on Saturday, recording a -1 plus/minus and one hit in 12:11 time-on-ice but will serve as a healthy scratch on Monday. Conor Timmins will draw into the lineup as Myers' replacement.

In his third season with the Maple Leafs, McCabe has been rewarded with a five-year, $22.55 million contract extension. The 31-year-old McCabe has been a defensive staple for the Maple Leafs since joining the club and has three points (0G / 3A), a +6 plus/minus, 17 blocks, and 19 hits in nine games this season.

Stolarz allowed two goals on 34 shots in the Maple Leafs win over the Lightning on Monday. Dennis Hildeby started on Tuesday and Joseph Woll started on Thursday, so Stolarz will be well-rested for Saturday's matchup with the Bruins. Stolarz has been fantastic to start his Maple Leafs career, going 3-2-0 with a 1.83 GAA and .938 SV% in his first five starts.

Myers spent most of last season in the AHL, where he had 23 points (4G / 19A) in 61 games with the Syracuse Crunch. He signed with the Maple Leafs this summer and will make his Maple Leafs debut on Saturday, replacing Conor Timmins on the blueline.

The Canadiens enter the action on Sunday as +146 road underdogs against the Flyers.

Woll has not played since a preseason contest on October 5th but will make his season debut for the Maple Leafs on Thursday night against the St. Louis Blues. The Maple Leafs are sizeable -229 home favorites. The 26-year-old Woll was projected to be the opening night starter for the Maple Leafs but suffered a last-minute lower-body ailment, resulting in him missing the first seven games and pivoting the starting goalie role to Anthony Stolarz. That said, Stolarz has been terrific filling in this season, posting a 1.83 GAA and .938 SV% in five games (3-2-0), which could pose an obstacle for Woll's playing time if he is unable to get off to a hot start. In 25 games played in 2023-24, Woll had a 12-11-1 record with a 2.94 GAA and .907 SV%.
