"Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Anthony Stolarz will start Thursday's game against the Seattle Kraken. Stolarz returned to action on January 23 against the Vegas Golden Knights, following a two-month absence while he was dealing with a nerve issue. The 32-year-old allowed five goals on 30 shots, as the Maple Leafs lost 6-3. Stolarz has posted a 6-6-1 record in 14 appearances with an .880 save percentage this season."
"William Nylander skated among the extras as a full participant but will not play in Thursday's game. Nylander has been out of the lineup since aggravating a groin injury during a January 15 game against the Golden Knights. The 29-year-old met with reporters on Monday, discussing his irritation with being out of the lineup. "Willie's gone a long time in his career without missing games and it's been different this year for him so it's something new that he's going through," Berube said Monday. "He came back and then re-injured it again pretty quickly so it is frustrating.""
"Marshall Rifai skated among the extra defencemen with Philippe Myers. Rifai was called up from the AHL's Toronto Marlies on Wednesday, and could provide the Maple Leafs' defence corps with some much-needed physicality and net-front defending."
