Murray has been out since mid-October due to a lower-body injury sustained in practice. The 28-year-old was hoping for a career resurgent season after being acquired by Toronto in the offseason but struggled in his only start allowing four goals on 23 shots (.826 SV%) in a loss to Montreal.

Head Coach Sheldon Keefe confirmed Wednesday that the plan is for Timothy Liljegran to make his debut Saturday after missing the early part of the season due to hernia surgery.

Muzzin is out indefinitely with a neck injury that he suffered on October 17th. The move to LTIR gives the Maple Leafs $5.625M in salary relief, which would be enough to activate Matt Murray from LTIR when he's healthy.
McCabe was medically cleared early Tuesday by the Chicago Blackhawks indicating the 29-year-old will make his season debut Friday against the Detroit Red Wings. The 10-year veteran sits just one point shy of the 100-point plateau (99 Pts) in his career, with 428 games played under his belt.

Muzzin will head to the injured reserve after injuring his neck in the Maple Leafs' 4-2 loss to Arizona Monday. It is the third time in four seasons since joining Toronto that Muzzin has missed significant time due to injury. He had one assist with eight SOG through four games before the injury announcement.
Stolarz will get his first start of the 2022-23 season after coming in twice in relief of John Gibson in each of the last two Duck games. He has struggled in relief, allowing three goals on 20 shots. He hopes to return closer to the .919 SV% that he has averaged across his four years in Anaheim.
