Stolarz will start against the Senators on Tuesday.

With the Maple Leafs riding a three-game winning streak, Stolarz will return to the crease on Tuesday after having the night off in their previous game. Stolarz has been solid all season, posting a 2.00 GAA and .930 SV% in 10 games (6-2-2), but has somehow outperformed those stats in his previous three games (2-0-1), allowing only three combined goals and posting a .964 SV%. The Maple Leafs enter the action on Tuesday as -123 home favorites against an Ottawa Senators club that has scored only six goals in their past three games (1-2-0).

Benning cleared waivers on Tuesday and has been assigned to the Toronto Marlies (AHL).

The 25-year-old Dewar had five points (1G / 4A) in 17 games with the Maple Leafs last season and is expected to skate on a line with Nicholas Robertson and Pontus Holmberg.

Matthews (upper-body) is doubtful for Tuesday vs. Ottawa.

After being placed on Injured Reserve last week, Matthews will likely remain sidelined against the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday, the first day he eligible to be activated. The 27-year-old Matthews was off to a slower-than-usual start to the 2024-25 campaign but had six points (2G / 4A) in his last five games.

Jarnkrok (lower-body) experienced a setback in his recovery and is heading to New York to see a specialist.

The 33-year-old Jarnkrok has provided a steady dose of secondary offense in two seasons with the Maple Leafs, scoring 60 points (30G / 30A) in 125 combined games, but unfortunately, he has no timeline to return.

Calle Jarnkrok
Pacioretty (lower-body) has been placed on IR and is week-to-week.

Pacioretty was limited to only 5:10 time-on-ice before exiting Saturday's 4-1 win over the Montreal Canadiens with a lower-body injury. The 35-year-old Pacioretty was providing needed depth offense for the Maple Leafs, with six points (2G / 4A) in 12 games before his injury, but returns to Injured Reserve, an unfortunately familiar place for the veteran winger.
