Toronto Maple Leafs

Captain John Tavares announced Tuesday morning he will return to the team's lineup against the Los Angeles Kings, just under three weeks after suffering a broken finger.

Head coach Mike Babcock said Tavares and Nic Petan, who was recalled from the AHL Tuesday morning, will both be in the lineup in place of Jason Spezza and Dmytro Timashov.

“No one’s done anything wrong,” Babcock said of the two players exiting the lineup.

Tavares, out since Oct. 16, has three goals and seven points in eight games this season. He returned to practice last week and has been skating on a line with Mitch Marner and Trevor Moore.

The Maple Leafs posted a 3-2-2 record with Tavares out of the lineup.

Petan was recalled from the Toronto Marlies on Tuesday, just four days after being loaned to the AHL team.

Petan, acquired at the trade deadline last season from the Winnipeg Jets, has appeared in just nine games since joining the team. He has one assist in four games this season after posting one goal in five games last season.

The 24-year-old fared well in his brief AHL stint, posting two goals and five points in two games with the Marlies.

Petan's recall leaves the Maple Leafs with 23 players on their roster, meaning a player will have to be moved off the roster when Zach Hyman is activated off long-term injured reserve.

 

 

Ottawa Senators

 

Artem Anisimov returns to the lineup after missing the last five games and Cody Goloubef will play his first game of the season. Erik Brannstrom and Filip Chlapik are healthy scratches and Craig Anderson starts against the Islanders.

Brannstrom a healthy scratch for the first time. Heach coach DJ Smith announced the decision earlier this week. Just to give him a break and see the game from a different perspective

 

 

 

Vancouver Canucks

Good news for Vancouver tonight as defenceman Quinn Hughes (bruised knee) says he will play tonight against the St. Louis Blues.

 

Montreal Canadiens

The team held an optional skate Tuesday with the following players on the ice: Folin, Lehkonen, Kulak, Fleury, Mete, Poehling, Reilly, Kotkaniemi, Petry, Cousins, Thompson, Suzuki, Weal, Drouin, Kinkaid.

 

Boston Bruins

The team placed forward Par Lindholm on injured reserve Tuesday and recalled Zach Senyshyn from the AHL's Providence Bruins.

Lindholm has been out with an upper-body injury since Oct. 27, when he was injured against the New York Rangers.
