The Toronto Maple Leafs have just a pair of games remaining before the league takes a break for the 4 Nations Face-Off. Luckily for the Maple Leafs, they’ll be heading into the break a little healthier than in recent weeks.

Stolarz hasn’t played since December 12, marking an eight-week hiatus where the goaltender hasn’t seen game action.

Holmberg – Robertson Pacioretty – Kampf – Lorentz Reaves Marner, who leads the Leafs with 70 points this season, won’t be rejoining Auston Matthews on the team’s top line, not right away anyway. He’ll skate instead on a line with William Nylander and John Tavares,

Marner didn't want to get into specifics on the lower-body injury but noted it had nothing to do with his previous game.

Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Anthony Stolarz will make his long-awaited return to the lineup against the Seattle Kraken on Thursday. Stolarz has been out of the lineup since December 12, when he suffered a lower-body injury against the Anaheim Ducks.

The Maple Leafs are missing two of their key players as they head into Seattle on Thursday. But new reports show they may be making their big return.
