In today’s daily Ice Chips report, we have the latest injury news and roster updates from around the NHL to keep you in the loop with everything happening in the hockey world.
Starting off with the Toronto Maple Leafs, starting goalie Joseph Woll, who has been sidelined this season due to lower-body tightness, was seen on the ice ahead of the team’s optional skate. However, it looks like Anthony Stolarz will be getting the nod as the projected starter for Wednesday’s game against the Los Angeles Kings.
In other Maple Leafs news, John Tavares made a return to the ice for the morning skate after missing Saturday’s game due to illness. Unfortunately, fellow forward William Nylander was absent after missing practice on Tuesday while dealing with an illness of his own.
Moving on to the Chicago Blackhawks, forward Kirby Dach missed practice for a therapy day. Dach, who has one assist in four games this season, has had a tough go of it after dealing with injuries last season.
Centre Ridly Greig of the Ottawa Senators is expected to miss the next two weeks with an upper-body injury, as reported by Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia. Greig, who hasn’t recorded a point in two games this season, had a solid rookie campaign last year with 13 goals and 13 assists in 72 games.
Lastly, the status of Senators starting goalie Linus Ullmark is uncertain after suffering a “strain” in Saturday’s game against the Montreal Canadiens. In response, the Sens have called up forward Adam Gaudette and goalie Mads Sogaard from the AHL to provide some reinforcements.
