Schwindt has three NHL games under his belt but has spent the majority of the last four seasons in the AHL. Schwindt was the 81st overall pick of the Florida Panthers in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft and has 20 points (8G / 12A) in 37 games with the Calgary Wranglers of the AHL this season.

Pearson has not played since December 9th, missing 19 games due to a hand injury. The 31-year-old Pearson should provide an offensive boost to the Canadiens' bottom six, as he has eight points (4G / 4A) in 27 games this season.

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 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 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 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.

Rondbjerg has played the last three games for the Golden Knights, being held without a point while registering two shots and two hits. He has been reassigned to the Henderson Silver Knights of the AHL.

Hagg will take the place of Radko Gudas, who was a late scratch due to a lower-body injury. Hagg is yet to register a point in two games with the Ducks this season.

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 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 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.

Smith exited Thursday's game against the Vancouver Canucks in the first period with an upper-body injury after playing only 3:08 time-on-ice. Smith has gone without a point in six straight games, his second pointless skid of six games or more and is expected to be out of the lineup for an extended period.

After being recalled from Henderson (AHL) on Thursday, Saville backed up Logan Thompson. Jiri Patera took the night off after starting their previous game in Colorado and will likely return to backup duties in their next game unless Adin Hill is cleared to play. Saville has a .914 SV% and a 4-3-1 record with the Henderson Silver Knights this season.

After being recalled from Henderson (AHL) earlier today, Saville will back-up Logan Thompson on Thursday. Jiri Patera will take the night off after starting last night's game in Colorado. Saville has a .914 SV% and a 4-3-1 record with the Henderson Silver Knights this season.

It's unclear whether this is just a depth move or if Rondbjerg has a legitimate chance of playing in Thursday's game against the Bruins. The right winger has one goal and two assists in six games with the Golden Knights this season.

Saville's recall casts some doubt on the status of both Logan Thompson (illness) and Adin Hill (undisclosed) for Thursday's game against the Bruins. Saville could very well get the start on Thursday if both are unable to go, considering Jiri Patera got the nod in Wednesday's 3-0 defeat in Colorado. Saville has a .914 SV% and a 4-3-1 record with the Henderson Silver Knights this season.
