Despite the Maple Leafs announcing that he would play, Moore took a bump in practice yesterday and is not feeling well enough to play tonight. Adam Brooks was called-up from Toronto (AHL) and could make his NHL debut but Dmytro Timashov is also available.
Moore missed the last 13 games with a shoulder injury but is expected to play vs. the Sabres. Moore, who has three goals and two assists (five points) in 21 games this season, is expected to skate on the fourth-line with Frederik Gauthier and Jason Spezza.
The Maple Leafs started a six-game road trip on Saturday and Moore is not currently with the team. His move to IR means he will miss at least two more games and it opens up a spot for Pierre Engvall to be called up from the Marlies (AHL).
Moore suffered a shoulder injury against the Bruins last night and will miss at least Saturday's game against the Penguins. Dmytro Timashov will likely draw into the lineup for Moore.
With Andreas Johnsson out a concussion, Moore returns to the Maple Leafs. Moore had three points (1G / 2A) in six games with the Maple Leafs earlier this season and is tied for the Marlies team-lead in goals (19) in 32 games.
Moore spent some time with the Maple Leafs while Zach Hyman was sidelined, collecting one goal and two assists in six games. Moore has impressed with the Marlies as well, tying for the team-lead in goals (19) and adding seven assists (26 points) in 30 games.
Moore continues to be sent down and called-up but these are likely just “paper moves” to save the team money. He has been solid in his brief time with the Maple Leafs, picking up two assists in three contests.
Moore recorded an assist in his NHL debut before the Christmas break and returns to the Maple Leafs with Tyler Ennis out. Moore has 17 goals and seven assists (24 points) in 27 games with the Marlies.
Moore has been recalled to travel as the extra forward during the Maple Leafs road-trip to California. The 23-year-old is from Thousand Oaks, California, so he could make his NHL debut in his home state. Moore has 12 points (9G / 3A) in 12 games with the Marlies this season.
Moore, 23, did not appear in a game with the Maple Leafs and returns to the AHL where he has collected 11 points (8G / 3A) in 10 games this season.
