Hill is expected to start Tuesday vs. the Islanders.

Hill is expected to make his return to the crease after a prolonged absence from an undisclosed injury dating back to November 30th. Hill returned to the lineup on December 17th but could not complete the first period before exiting the game with an injury. Before his injury, the 27-year-old Stanley Cup Champion was enjoying a Vezina-worthy start to the season, as he had a 10-2-2 record, 1.93 GAA and .933 SV%.

Samsonov will start Sunday vs. Seattle.

Samsonov has only started one contest since December 29th but will take the crease Sunday vs. Seattle as Toronto is on the back end of a back-to-back. The 26-year-old has had his struggles well documented this season and will be looking to post a +.900 SV% for the first time in six starts. He holds an ugly 5-3-6 record, 3.88 GAA and .863 SV% on the season. Toronto takes on Seattle on the road Sunday, who has lost three straight after their seven game winning streak was put to an end and are currently struggling offensively as they rank 27th in the NHL in goals per game (2.78).

Rondbjerg has been recalled from Henderson (AHL) and is expected to play Saturday vs. Pittsburgh.

Rondbjerg had four goals, 10 assists, eight PIMs and a -7 plus/minus in 25 games played with Henderson (AHL) but has earned another call up to Vegas Friday and is expected to draw into the lineup Saturday vs. Pittsburgh. The 24-year-old has appeared in nine games with the Golden Knights this season and has three points, 11 SOG, and a +3 plus/minus.

Eichel (knee) is expected to miss 4-6 weeks after undergoing a procedure Thursday.

Eichel has been out for a week since leaving the Golden Knights' game on January 11th with a knee injury and is expected to miss a further 4-6 weeks after undergoing a procedure Thursday. The 27-year-old finds himself injured again and has only once played in more than 68 games in a season across his nine year career. He currently has 19 goals, 25 assists, 173 SOG, 10 PIMs and a +1 plus/minus through 42 games prior to his injury.

Eichel is out week-to-week after undergoing successful lower-body surgery.

Eichel did not play the Golden Knights' last game due to a lower-body injury and, after being placed on injured reserve, underwent surgery that will keep him sidelined week-to-week. Before his injury, Eichel had four points (3G / 1A) and 13 shots in his last three games. Chandler Stephenson will likely be elevated to the top line and see increased offensive deployment during Eichel's absence.

Eichel (undisclosed) has been placed on injured reserve.

Eichel missed Saturday's game against the Flames due to the undisclosed injury and has now been placed on injured reserve. Eichel's absence leaves a major void in the Golden Knights' attack, as he's racked up 19 goals and 25 assists in 42 games this season. Eichel's move to the injured reserve means he'll be sidelined until next Saturday's game against the Penguins, at the earliest.

Samsonov will start against the Red Wings on Sunday.

Samsonov will get an opportunity to get his woeful season back on track on Sunday as he will get the nod against the Red Wings, making his first appearance since December 29th. Samsonov gave up six goals on just 21 shots in that game as the Leafs fell in overtime to the Blue Jackets, marking a fourth-straight loss for Samsonov. His record on the season sits at 5-2-6 to go along with a dreadful .862 SV% and 3.94 GAA. Despite his struggles, he's got a great chance of picking up his first win in over a month, with the Maple Leafs being -210 favourites over the Red Wings on Sunday.
