Keep updated on all the injury news and roster updates from around the NHL with daily Ice Chips.

Vancouver Canucks

Head coach Travis Green told the media on Saturday that he doesn't expect injured forwards Elias Pettersson or Jay Beagle to be ready for Vancouver's next game on Wednesday against the Calgary Flames.

TSN's Farhan Lalji notes that Green "wouldn't go any further on the suggestion that Pettersson could be another few weeks away [from returning]." The 22-year-old Pettersson hasn't been able to play since March 2 with an upper-body injury. 

Beagle hasn't played since March 10 with an undisclosed injury. 

Also, the Canucks recalled forward Marc Michaelis from the taxi squad and loaned forward Tyler Graovac to the taxi squad.

Montreal Canadiens

General manager Marc Bergevin provided updates on several players Saturday morning. 

Forward Tyler Toffoli (lower body) will not be in the lineup if the Canadiens resume play on Tuesday in order to avoid sending him back into action with just one practice over a week. 

Defenceman Ben Chiarot is doing better than expected in his recovery from a fractured right hand and could return to the lineup earlier than his original projection at the end of April.

Newly acquired forward Eric Staal is driving from Buffalo to Montreal and will speak to the media Sunday morning at 11 am.

Toronto Maple Leafs

The Maple Leafs added defenceman Timothy Liljegren and forward Nick Robertson to the team's taxi squad on Saturday morning. They also reassigned defenceman Kristians Rubins to the AHL's Toronto Marlies. 

Liljegren, 21, hasn't played a game with the Maple Leafs this season, but has appeared in 11 contests with the Marlies, scoring one goal and six assists.  

Robertson, 19, has played in just one game with the NHL-club this season and suffered a knee injury against the Ottawa Senators on Jan. 18. He's appeared in 10 games with the Marlies, scoring two goals and adding seven assist. Head coach Sheldon Keefe on Robertson's assignment to the taxi squad:

"I wouldn't read too much into it. He's a guy coming off injury. We just have him around here so he can work with our medical staff to help his recovery."

The team also re-assigned defenceman Christian Wolanin to Belleville.

Philadelphia Flyers

The Flyers recalled defenceman Samuel Morin from the taxi squad. The 25-year-old was fined $3,017.24 on Friday for unsportsmanlike conduct on New York Rangers forward Brendan Lemieux.

The incident occurred in the third period of the Flyers' 8-3 loss to the Rangers on Thursday, leading to a fight between the two players.

Morin was given a minor penalty for cross-checking on the play.
