Larkin has been suspended for one game for roughing Mathieu Joseph.
Gustafsson will make his season debut Friday in New Jersey.
Gustafsson sat out of the season opener after signing a one-year ticket with the Blackhawks this week. Tonight he'll replace Ian Mitchell, who saw some PP2 time in the opener. Expect Gustafsson to play a minimal role at 5v5 but should see some PP usage.
The Canucks have signed Alex Chiasson to a one-year contract worth $750K.
Chiasson turned his PTO into a one-year deal, picking up one assist in three preseason games. Chiasson was skating on the top line with Elias Pettersson in Tuesday's practice, so he'll play a big role while Brock Boeser is out.
Goalie Start
Campbell will start the Maple Leafs season opener on Wednesday.
Campbell will make the first start of the season on Wednesday and Petr Mrazek will make his debut in the second half of the back-to-back. Campbell was superb in 2021, opening the season on an 11-game winning streak and finishing at 17-3-2 with a 2.15 GAA, .921 SV% and two shutouts in 22 starts. He was 4-1-1 with a 2.16 GAA and .918 SV% in six starts vs. Montreal.
The Blackhawks signed Erik Gustafsson to a one-year deal worth $800K.
With both Wyatt Kalynuk and Caleb Jones going down with injuries late in training camp, Gustafsson has been signed to play on the third pair and second power-play unit early the season. After a breakout 60-point (17G / 43A) season in 2019, Gustafsson has struggled to find a stable home. In 95 games since, Gustafsson has tallied just nine goals and 34 assists (41 points) with the Blackhawks, Flames, Flyers and Canadiens.
The Jets have re-signed Andrew Copp to a one-year, $3.64 million contract.
The Red Wings have re-signed Chase Pearson to a one-year, two-way contract.

The Ducks have signed Brogan Rafferty to a one-year contract.
The Canucks have signed Sheldon Dries to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Blues have signed Nolan Stevens to a one-year, two-way contract extension.
Stevens was a fifth-round pick in 2016 and has spent the last three years in the AHL. The 25-year-old forward had six goals and 12 assists (18 points) in 27 games with Utica last year. Look for Stevens to start the 2021-22 season in the AHL once again.
Thr Red Wings have signed Michael Rasmussen to a three-year contract extension.
Rasmussen played almost the entire 2020-21 NHL season in the NHL, scoring three goals with nine assists (12 points) in 40 games. The former No.9 overall pick (2017) made serious strides this season and will look to be an important part of the Red Wings' middle-6 in 2021-22.
Gustafsson will come out of the Canadiens lineup for Game 4.
