The Toronto Maple Leafs announced on Monday that they have recalled forward Jacob Quillan from the AHL's Toronto Marlies. This comes after William Nylander reaggravated his lower-body injury on Thursday against the Vegas Golden Knights and was deemed questionable for Monday's game against the Minnesota Wild. He previously missed six games due to the ailment, originally sustained on December 27 against the Ottawa Senators, and returned to the lineup on January 10 against the Vancouver Canucks.
Nylander is day-to-day still. He's doing better but still day-to-day. Matthews will be a game-time decision. Tanev is lower-body, it's not the same injury. He's getting evaluated today so we'll have a better timeline later today on him,
Chmelar, the Rangers 5th round pick in 2021, has very quietly become a steady prospect for the Rangers. His 2-3-5 in 9 games this year doesn't light the world on fire, but he's been great for the Pack and has a nice edge to his game. The 6'5″, 220 lb winger will probably slide into a third line role, assuming he plays, to help give that line a little more scoring bite to it.
