Meier (lower-body) is "very probable" to play on Friday.

Meier has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury but is expected to play Friday in Anaheim. Meier and Tomas Hertl are both likely to play, which is a huge boost to the second line. Meier has four goals and 11 assists (15 points) in 21 games this season.

Markstrom remains day-to-day with an upper-body injury; will not play on Wednesday.

Markstrom will miss his second straight game with an upper-body injury, which likely means that David Rittich will face the Maple Leafs on Wednesday. Rittich posted a 34-save shutout on Monday, so expect him to get all of the starts until Markstrom can re-join the team.
