Dominic Toninato News
Toninato was a late-scratch Saturday in Detroit but is expected to play tonight in his home state. He has been playing with quality linemates (Hoffman & Vatrano) lately and comes in with three assists in his last four games.
Toninato appeared in three games with Panthers earlier this season before returning to the AHL. The 22-year-old forward has scored five goals with three assists (eight points) in 15 games with Springfield this season and will replace Dryden Hunt on the Panthers fourth line on Tuesday.
Toninato, 25, had one goal in three games with the Panthers during his call-up. Toninato's return to the AHL suggests that Noel Acciari will return to the lineup on Tuesday. Toninato has six points (4G / 2A) in 12 AHL games this season.
Toninato, who appeared in 37 games with the Avalanche in 2017-18, played in just two NHL games last season. The 25-year-old had 14 goals and 15 assists (29 points) in 57 AHL games and has a chance to crack the Florida roster as their fouth-line centre in 2020.
The move opens up a roster spot for forward Sheldon Dries. Toninato had two points in 37 games for the Avalanche last season.
Toninato was a healthy scratch on Saturday but will replace Nail Yakupov in the lineup on Tuesday. Toninato has brought no offence to the Avalanche, having picked up one assist in 30 games this season.
Toninato, 23, had one assist in eight games with the Avalanche earlier this season and could be back in their lineup on Thursday with Tyson Jost battling an undisclosed injury. During his time in the AHL Toninato has picked up seven goals and five assists (12 points) in 30 games.
Toninato, 23, recorded one assist in eight games with the Avalanche during his call-up. Toninato returns to the AHL with Colin Wilson back to 100 percent—he has three goals and three assists (six points) in 13 games with the Rampage.
Toninato was a fifth round pick in 2012 and has registered three goals and three assists in 13 games in his first pro year with the Rampage. The 23-year-old will centre a line with Nail Yakupov and Sven Andrighetto on his wings.
