Janrkrok has been out of the lineup since late January but his return is on the immediate horizon. The 32-year-old Jarnkrok played all 46 games for the Maple Leafs before his injury, scoring 19 points (10G / 9A) while averaging 15:18 time-on-ice.
Woll has not played since December 7th due to an ankle injury. After participating in practice the last three weeks and joining the Marlies (AHL) for a conditioning stint, he will make his return to the Maple Leafs' crease on Thursday night. He will be looking to build off his strong start to the season and add to his 8-5-1 record, 2.80 GAA, and .916 SV%. The Maple Leafs enter action as significant -242 home favourites against an Arizona Coyotes club riding a 13-game losing streak.
Zach Bogosian will be returning from a concussion on Thursday, prompting Minnesota to make Mermis a healthy scratch. Mermis has a -3 plus/minus, three shots, four hits, and one goal in his last four games.
The Stars acquired Tanev on Wednesday by giving up a 2024 second-round pick, a 2026 fourth-round pick, Artem Grushnikov and a conditional 2026 third-round pick to acquire Tanev. The Flames retained 50 percent of Tanev's $4.5M AAV cap hit, while the Devils retained 25 percent. Tanev is a rugged defenseman, who has racked up 171 blocked shots this season to go along with one goal and 13 assists (14 points) in 56 games. He should bring plenty of stability to the Stars' second pairing.
Stolarz will start for the second time in the last three games for the Panthers when they host the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday night. The 30-year-old Stolarz has been tremendous lately, posting a .951 SV% while allowing fewer than three goals in each of his last five outings (4-1-0). The Panthers are sizeable -340 home favourites heading into action.

Rielly has finished serving his five-game suspension and will return to the Maple Leafs lineup on the road in Vegas on Thursday night. Before his suspension, Rielly was having a terrific season and was amid a season-best five-game point streak with six points (0G / 6A).
Noah Gregor will draw back into the lineup on Wednesday, making Reaves a healthy scratch for the second time in the last four games. Reaves has one goal and 24 hits in his last seven games.
