Toronto Maple Leaves
Toronto Maple Leafs F Max Pacioretty appears set to return from a lower-body injury, while D Philippe Myers will make his team debut against the Boston Bruins on Saturday, TSN’s Mark Masters reports.
Pacioretty, 35, left Tuesday’s loss against the Columbus Blue Jackets with the injury and did not return. After missing a game against the St. Louis Blue on Thursday, the American winger appears to return to Toronto’s lineup in favor of Pontus Holmberg.
After signing a PTO with the Leafs in training camp, Pacioretty has scored two goals in five games played with Toronto this season.
Myers will join the lineup for his Maple Leafs debut, while Connor Timmins will have the night off.
The Canadian winger joined the team as a free agent this past offseason, signing a one-year, $775,000 contract.
Originally from Moncton, NB, Myers skated in five games with the Tampa Bay Lightning last season, where he did not record a point. He also made stops with the Nashville Predators and the Philadelphia Flyers, who originally signed him as an undrafted free agent in the 2015 draft.
Philadelphia Flyers
The Flyers have sent forward prospect Jett Luchanko back to the OHL’s Guelph Storm.
Luchanko made the NHL training camp roster, appearing in four games this season as the youngest player in the league. He did not score a point while averaging 14:03 minutes of ice time and last played on October 19 against the Vancouver Canucks.
The 18-year-old was selected 13th overall by the Flyers in June’s draft. In 68 games with Guelph last season he scored 20 goals and 74 points in 68 games.
The Penguins have assigned a goalie Tristan Jarry to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on conditional loan.
Jarry has struggled to start the 2024-25 campaign, posting an .836 save percentage and a 5.47 goals-against average in three appearances this season.
He hasn’t played since October 16 against buffalo sabers when he allowed three goals on five shots against. On Thursday, he was sent back to Pittsburgh for individual work while the Penguins are in the midst of a four-game trip to Western Canada.
The 29-year-old is in the second season of a five-year, $26.9 million contract with an AAV of $5.375 million.
In 51 games last season, Jarry went 19-25-5 with a .903 save percentage and 2.91 GAA.
