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. There is no timeline on when Woll might return to game action, but with Toronto's up-and-down 3-3-1 start to the season, they will happily welcome the services of Woll, hoping it solidifies their goaltending position.

Cowan drew into Toronto's lineup for his NHL debut in their third game of the season, playing four straight, but returned to being a healthy scratch in their most recent contest. He will re-enter the lineup on Friday against the Buffalo Sabres. The 20-year-old forward has one point (0G / 1A) in four games.

With recent injuries to Morgan Rielly (undisclosed) and Chris Tanev (upper-body), a vacancy has opened on Toronto's blueline, allowing Myers to draw into the lineup for his season debut. The 28-year-old Myers played 36 games with the Maple Leafs last season and scored five points (2G / 3A).

The Maple Leafs hope to tighten their defensive game, turning to Stolarz between the pipes on Friday against the Buffalo Sabres. The 31-year-old Stolarz has yet to recapture his magic from the 2024-25 season, showcasing a pedestrian 3.01 GAA and .894 SV% in six outings (2-3-1). The Maple Leafs enter Friday's contest as -118 road favorites against a Sabres team that is outscoring their opposition 17-8 in their last four games (3-1-0).

Robertson has appeared in all seven games for the Maple Leafs this season, but has only recorded a single point (0G / 1A), and will head to the sidelines as a healthy scratch on Friday against the Buffalo Sabres. The 24-year-old Robertson was the subject of trade talks in the offseason and has yet to truly make his mark at the NHL level.

Rielly showed no signs of an injury in Toronto's most recent game, playing a season-high 24:30 time-on-ice, but was absent from practice on Thursday, and will not play on Friday. The 31-year-old Rielly is off to an impressive offensive start to the season, scoring six points (2G / 4A) in seven games.

With Chris Tanev (upper body) placed on Injured Reserve, the Maple Leafs have recalled Mermis from the AHL. The 31-year-old Mermis is no stranger to the NHL, with 13 points (4G / 9A) in 78 career games.

Tanev was limited to only 5:57 time-on-ice in Toronto's 5-2 loss to the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday, exiting the contest due to an upper-body injury. The 35-year-old Tanev has one point (0G / 1A) and eight blocks through seven games this season. He will be out of the lineup for at least two games after being placed on Injured Reserve.

Tanev was limited to only 5:57 time-on-ice in Toronto's 5-2 loss to the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday, exiting the contest due to an upper-body injury. The 35-year-old Tanev has one point (0G / 1A) and eight blocks through seven games this season. It seems unlikely that he will play in either of Toronto's games this weekend.

Stecher has played four of six games for the Oilers this season, but will return to the sidelines on Tuesday as a healthy scratch against the Ottawa Senators. The 31-year-old Stecher is exiting the lineup to accommodate the season debut of Jake Walman (undisclosed).

Cowan drew into Toronto's lineup for his NHL debut in their third game of the season, playing four straight, but will head to the press box as a healthy scratch on Tuesday against the New Jersey Devils. The 20-year-old forward has one point (0G / 1A) in four games. Calle Jarnkrok will draw into the lineup as Cowan's replacement.
