Whitecloud will draw in for Alex Pietrangelo, who was a late scratch due to illness. Whitecloud has two goals and nine assists in 54 games this season.

Pietrangelo was a late scratch on Friday with the Golden Knights not announcing his absence until the start of warmups. His first chance to return to the lineup will be in Vancouver on Monday.

There were rumblings earlier in the week that Tomas Hertl could potentially return on Friday after taking full part in morning skates but will not do so officially according to head coach Bruce Cassidy. The 30-year-old was acquired at the Trade Deadline and is expected to provide updates on whether he will travel or not after Friday's morning skate. He currently has 15 goals and 34 points in 48 games played in 2023-24.

Roy left Tuesday's matchup against Vancouver after just 12:25 TOI due to an undisclosed injury and will be out on Friday after missing practice today. The 27-year-old is considered day-to-day going forward but is not expected to miss a large amount of time. He is in the middle of one of the best seasons of his seven-year career with 11 goals, 38 points, 107 SOG and 29 PIMs in 66 games played before the injury.

Hertl has been sidelined with a lower-body injury after undergoing a procedure in his left knee at the beginning of February but made his Golden Knights debut at practice in a non-contact jersey on Monday, preparing to potentially play his first game before the end of the week. The talented Czech forward has 34 points (15G / 19A) while averaging 20:54 time-on-ice through 48 games this season.

Samsonov will return to the crease for the second straight contest after missing several games with a minor injury. The 27-year-old Samsonov was brilliant in his return, saving all 34 shots he faced for his third shutout of the season in a 3-0 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday. The Maple Leafs enter action as +116 road underdogs on Monday against the Florida Panthers.

Pietrangelo has missed Vegas' last six games due to illness but has rejoined the team on their road trip and is likely to return in Minnesota on Saturday. The 34-year-old is having a down year compared to his previous seasons in Vegas, with four goals, 32 points, 137 SOG and 24 PIMs in 62 games played before his ailment.

Samsonov hurt his calf muscle last Saturday and has not dressed for any of the Maple Leafs games this week but will start on Saturday in Buffalo. The 27-year-old has endured a very up-and-down season which included an earlier stint in the minors, but still holds an impressive 19-6-7 record despite his mediocre 3.12 GAA and .889 SV%. He will head to Buffalo to take on the Sabres, who have lost three of their last four games and are coming off an ugly 6-2 defeat at the hands of the Ottawa Senators last game.

Samsonov was unable to finish Saturday's game vs. Edmonton and did not dress on Tuesday after bruising his calf in a victory over the Oilers. The 27-year-old has stated he is good to go on Thursday when Toronto takes on Washington. He has endured the definition of an up-and-down season in 2023-24, with his 19-6-7 record, 3.12 GAA and .889 SV%.

Samsonov exited Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Edmonton Oilers in the third period due to a lower-body injury, which does not appear to be a long-term injury. Joseph Woll will start for the Maple Leafs on Tuesday with Martin Jones serving as the back up.

Pietrangelo has been battling an illness the last week and will miss his fourth straight game on Monday against the St. Louis Blues. The 34-year-old's production has been down this season compared to previous years as he has four goals, 32 points, and 24 PIMs in 62 games played.
