Overview

  • Auston Matthews was placed on injured reserve with a lower-body injury retroactive to Nov. 11, making him ineligible for Saturday in Chicago and Tuesday in St. Louis but eligible to return as early as Nov. 18.
  • Joseph Woll was activated to the NHL roster following a brief AHL conditioning stint after a personal leave, and he is under consideration to make his season debut on Saturday in Chicago.
  • Anthony Stolarz is day-to-day with an upper-body issue, leaving Dennis Hildeby as the other healthy option on the NHL roster after Artur Akhtyamov was reassigned to the Marlies.
  • Easton Cowan was recalled from the Marlies to bolster the forward group; the 20-year-old has one goal and three assists in 10 NHL games this season.
  • Toronto has dropped four straight, and head coach Craig Berube said both Matthews and Stolarz are considered day-to-day as the club looks to stabilize in the short term.
