Thrun has a good chance to make his Maple Leafs' debut on Thursday vs. San Jose.

With Dakota Mermis (lower body) placed on Injured Reserve, the Maple Leafs have recalled Thrun from the Marlies (AHL). The 24-year-old Thrun was a regular on San Jose's blueline the past two seasons, but has spent the entirety of the 2025-26 campaign in the AHL, where he has nine points (3G / 6A) in 19 games with the Marlies.

Salomonsson has been loaned to Manitoba (AHL).

Salamonsson was drafted in the second-round, 55th overall, by the Jets in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft. The 21-year-old Swedish defenseman made his NHL debut this season, playing four games with Winnipeg. He made his North American professional debut last season in the AHL, scoring 27 points (5G / 22A) in 53 games with the Manitoba Moose.

Skinner will start vs. Buffalo on Tuesday.

The Oilers have crept their way back up the standings, winning three of their last four (3-1-0) and receiving vastly improved goaltending from Stuart Skinner. The 27-year-old Skinner has an unimpressive 2.86 GAA and .889 SV% in 21 games (10-8-3), but has been much better lately, posting a 2.0 GAA and .915 SV% in his last five games (3-2-0). The Oilers enter Tuesday's contest as sizable -202 home favorites against a Buffalo Sabres team that beat them 5-1 earlier this season, but is on a three-game losing streak (0-3-0).

Stevenson has been loaned to Hershey (AHL).

With Charlie Lindgren on Injured Reserve, Stevenson served as Logan Thompson's back up on Sunday, but he has been reassigned to the AHL, with Garin Bjorklund being recalled in a corresponding move. The 26-year-old Stevenson made his NHL debut last season, playing three games with Washington. He has a 2.54 GAA and .913 SV% in 11 games this season (7-4-0) with the Hershey Bears (AHL).

DiVincentis has been recalled from Manitoba (AHL).

The Jets have struggled immensely since Connor Hellebuyck (knee) has been sidelined. Eric Comrie has had a few solid outings, but has understandably been unable to fill the void of the team's three-time Vezina-winning goalie. When Comrie has been unable to go, Thomas Milic has been unable to step up to the plate, resulting in his demotion to Manitoba (AHL), with goalie Domenic DiVincentiis coming back the other way in a corresponding move. The 21-year-old DiVicentiis is unlikely to see much playing time at the NHL level, but has been solid in the AHL this season, posting a 2.49 GAA and .915 SV% in 13 games (6-7-0).

When Comrie has been unable to go, Milic has been unable to step up to the plate, making his NHL debut this season and posting a 3.46 GAA and .871 SV% through three appearances (0-1-0). As such, the Jets have reassigned Milic to Manitoba (AHL), with goalie Domenic DiVincentiis coming back the other way in a corresponding move.

Thomas Milic
Fleury (concussion) has been cleared for contact and will need to get his conditioning back before he can rejoin the Jets.

Fleury has not played since November 11th due to a concussion but is nearing his return after being cleared for contact. The 29-year-old Fleuery has played 15 games this season and not played more than 47 games since his rookie season in 2017-18.

Nyquist is expected to be a healthy scratch in Montreal on Wednesday.

Nyquist was acquired in the offseason to help mitigate the loss of Nikolaj Ehlers, but he has struggled finding his footing with the Jets. The 36-year-old Nyquist only has six points (0G / 6A) in 20 games, and has been held off the scoresheet in six straight. Cole Koepke will draw into the lineup as Nyquist's replacement.

Salomonsson will draw back into Winnipeg's lineup in Montreal on Wednesday.

Salamonsson was drafted in the second-round, 55th overall, by the Jets in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft. The 21-year-old Swedish defenseman played two games last week, making his NHL debut. He made his North American professional debut last season in the AHL, scoring 27 points (5G / 22A) in 53 games with the Manitoba Moose.
