Anderson had no points in two games with the Maple Leafs and returns to the AHL, where he has five goals and two assists in 13 games this season.

Robinson has scored two goals with two assists in 15 AHL games this season. The 6-foot-6, 232 lbs. forward will replace Adam Henrique in the lineup on Monday and is likely in the lineup to keep Tom Wilson in check. Robinson has three points (2G / 1A) and 13 PIMS in 21 career NHL games with the Senators and Flames.


Murphy left Thursday's game after being hit by Alex Ovechkin and did not return. Murphy suffered a concussion on the play and is in concussion protocol, which likely rules him out of the Blackhawks' back-to-back over the weekend.


With Ondrej Kase still out, Anderson will draw into the lineup on Wednesday. Anderson had seven points (5G / 2A) in 13 games with the Marlies (AHL) this season and has 13 points (8G / 5A) in 53 career NHL games.


Kurashev was a healthy scratch in Calgary on Tuesday but will draw back into the lineup on Friday. Kurashev has two assists in his last three games, but just five assists in 17 games this season.

Veleno suffered an upper-body injury in Wednesday's win over the Blues. He was not available for Friday's practice and head coach Jeff Blashill doesn't expect him to be available for Saturday's game vs. the Sabres.

With Athanasiou unavailable vs. the Maple Leafs, Rasmus Kupari should play after previously being scheduled to be scratched. Former Maple Leaf, Carl Grundstrom is another option.

Kurashev played just 6:25 TOI on Sunday and will be scratched tonight after "too many turnovers lately" according to head coach Derek King.





Martinez will miss his second straight game on Tuesday but his status beyond then has not been determined. Monitor his status leading up to Thursday's game vs. the Red Wings.

With Mitchell Stephens landing on IR with a lower-body injury, Veleno has been recalled for the Red Wings' four-game road trip. Veleno has one goal and one assist in four games with the Red Wings this season and three goals in seven AHL games.
