The Toronto Maple Leafs are hoping to have William Nylander back in the lineup when they take on the Calgary Flames on Tuesday.
Head coach Craig Berube said Nylander is a “maybe” to play after missing Saturday's game against the Buffalo Sabres with a lower-body injury.
It was the first regular-season game Nylander, who was a game-time decision and dressed for warmups, had missed since April 4, 2022.
He has recorded three goals and 11 assists in eight contests so far this season.
Meanwhile, Calle Jarnkrok is doubtful with a lower-body injury that he took a hard shot off the foot against the Sabres. In eight games, the 34-year-old has three goals.
After Tuesday's home date with the Flames, the Maple Leafs travel to Columbus to face the Blue Jackets the next night.
Meanwhile, Joseph Woll returned to practice for the first time Monday as he continues to work towards a return to play following his leave of absence, which began during training camp.
However, Woll won't be ready to play once his stint on long-term injured reserve is over, general manager Brad Treliving told reporters.
The goalie also skated with the team on Saturday, but not in a formal practice.
Woll is eligible to play for the Maple Leafs as of Nov. 1, but despite continuing to skate while away from the team, the goaltender will likely need to participate in some conditioning games with the AHL's Toronto Marlies before he returns to the NHL club.
