Korczak has been unavailable since last Tuesday (12/12) due to a lower-body injury that will keep him out on a week-to-week basis and was placed on the Injured Reserve Monday. The 22-year-old Korczak has quietly had a productive season from the Vegas blue line, posting seven points (1G / 6A) in 15 games while averaging 16:29 time-on-ice.

Rondbjerg had three goals, eight assists, eight PIMs and a -5 plus/minus in 16 games played with Henderson (AHL) but has been recalled to Vegas for the second time this season. The 24-year-old right-winger has appeared in six games already this season with the Golden Knights, picking up a goal, two assists, nine SOG, and a +3 plus/minus.

Brayden Pachal drew back into the Golden Knights' lineup on Tuesday as Korczak was unavailable due to a lower-body injury that will keep him out on a week-to-week basis. The 22-year-old Korczak has quietly had a productive season from the Vegas blue line, posting seven points (1G / 6A) in 15 games while averaging 16:29 time-on-ice.

Hill has not played since November 30th when he exited the game with a lower-body injury, but appears to be nearing a return about participating in practice on Thursday and will travel on the teams upcoming road trip. Jiri Patera was recalled in Hill's absence but has played only one of six games for the Golden Knights since, with the other five going to Logan Thompson.

Samsonov served as the backup in the back end of a back-to-back in the Maple Leafs last game but will return to the crease on Thursday and likely be the undisputed starting goalie for the team as long as Joseph Woll is out of the lineup. The 26-year-old Samsonov has been wildly inconsistent this season but has been significantly better lately, collecting points in each of his last five games (3-0-2) and boasting a .916 SV%. The Maple Leafs are overwhelming -239 home favourites on Thursday against the Columbus Blue Jackets, who have lost four of their last five (1-3-1).

Pearson left the Canadiens game Saturday vs. Buffalo after just 2:50 TOI due to an upper-body injury and was placed on the Injured Reserve Wednesday with expectations to be out for 4-6 weeks. The 31-year-old left-winger had been attempting to put together his first full season since 2017-18 after just 14 games last year. He had four goals, four assists, 47 SOG, 13 PIMs and a -5 plus/minus in 27 games prior to his injury.

Brayden Pachal will draw back into the Golden Knights' lineup on Tuesday as Korczak will be unavailable due to a lower-body injury. The 22-year-old Korczak has quietly had a productive season from the Vegas blue line, posting seven points (1G / 6A) in 15 games while averaging 16:29 time-on-ice.

An injury to Joseph Wall thrust Samsonov back into the crease on Saturday after not playing in five games, but the Russian netminder played one of his best performances of the season, saving all 18 shots he faced in a 4-0 win over the Nashville Predators for his first shutout. Samsonov has been wildly inconsistent this season, posting a 3.21 GAA and .886 SV% through 11 games (5-1-3), but will hope his most recent performance can spark a string of solid play. The Maple Leafs are -116 road favourites on Monday against a New York Islanders team that is suddenly scoring at a high rate, scoring three or more goals in each of their last six contests (4-1-1).
