Captain Connor McDavid skated with the team's power play units on Monday but left the ice before the full team portion of the skate. The centre said after the skate he's unsure if he'll dress Tuesday against the Chicago Blackhawks, describing his injury as a charley-horse.

McDavid was injured in the team's win over Nashville Predators on Saturday with what head coach Dave Tippett referred to as a bruise above his knee.

The 23-year-old has 30 goals and 81 points in 55 games this season.

 

Calgary Flames

With defenceman Travis Hamonic not expected to be available against the San Jose Sharks, the Flames recalled defenceman Alexander Yelesin from the AHL and assigned Buddy Robinson to Stockton.

Forward Ilya Mikheyev skated prior to practice on Monday, working on the ice for the first time since having surgery to repair tendons in his wrist in late December.

The 25-year-old sustained the injury on Dec. 27 when he was cut on the wrist by the skate of New Jersey Devils forward Jack Hughes. The Maple Leafs said following surgery an update would be provided in three months. 

Mikheyev has eight goals and 23 points in 39 games this season.

When practice began, the team had three goaltenders on ice - Frederik Andersen, Jack Campbell and Michael Hutchinson. Andersen was ruled day-to-day last week with a neck injury suffered last Monday against the Florida Panthers.

Andersen said after Monday's skate that he remains day-to-day but hasn't been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Arizona Coyotes.

Forward William Nylander also participated in practice Monday after missing the previous two games with illness. Meanwhile, forwards John Tavares (illness), Zach Hyman (bumps and bruises), Kyle Clifford (personal) and defenceman Justin Holl (illness) all missed the session.

 The Maple Leafs recalled forward Pontus Aberg from the AHL's Toronto Marlies on Monday.
