Ryan Reaves will be a healthy scratch on Friday against the Buffalo Sabres, allowing Holmberg to re-enter the lineup. The 25-year-old Holmberg is averaging 13:09 time-on-ice and has six points (2G / 4A) in 28 games this season.

Due to Auston Matthews' injury (upper body), Holmberg will slot into the vacant Maple Leafs' roster spot on Tuesday against the Boston Bruins. The 25-year-old Holmberg has played 11 games this season, recording one point (0G / 1A) and a -5 plus/minus while averaging 12:40 time-on-ice.

Holmberg missed his first game of the season on Saturday but will return to the lineup on Monday against the Winnipeg Jets, replacing Nick Robertson. The 25-year-old Holmberg has one point (0G / 1A) while averaging 13:09 time-on-ice through eight games this season.

Holmberg has played in all eight games so far this season but will be replaced by Max Pacioretty in the lineup on Saturday. Holmberg has one assist, seven SOG and a minus-3 rating through eight games this season.

Holmberg will take a seat on Wednesday as Noah Gregor will draw into the lineup. Holmberg has three goals and eight assists in 35 games this season.

With Toronto playing their second game in as many nights when they travel to Anaheim on Wednesday, Sheldon Keefe is opting to get a pair of fresh legs into the lineup as Holmberg will draw in while Nick Robertson is expected to be a healthy scratch. Holmberg has no goals and one assist in nine games this season.

Holmberg has sat as a healthy scratch since being recalled, so he'll swap places with Bobby McMann, who will likely play Saturday for Ryan Reaves.
