Levi made 28 saves in Monday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.

He was the busier netminder on the night as the home side out-shot the Oilers 29-19, but the only puck to get past Levi came on a shorthanded breakaway by Jaroslav Chmelar. Levi has started two straight games since returning from a lower-body injury, winning both of them while allowing just three goals, and through nine appearances to begin his first season with Edmonton he's gone a stellar 8-1-0 with a 2.75 GAA and .898 save percentage.

Rielly (lower body) has been deemed day-to-day and will not play in Tuesday's home clash against the Avalanche, per David Alter of The Hockey News.

Rielly is slated to miss his second consecutive contest with a lower-body injury, which he sustained in Saturday's contest against Montreal. Prior to the injury, the 32-year-old blueliner posted 12 assists, 21 shots on net, eight hits and 23 blocked shots over 18 appearances. In his absence, Dakota Mermis will likely see a heightened role again Tuesday. Rielly's next chance to return is Thursday's home game against the Wild.

Garand stopped 17 of 19 shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Oilers, with Edmonton's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

Connor McDavid got a puck by Garand in the first period and Leon Draisaitl snapped a shot past him early in the second, and the Rangers' offense couldn't climb out of the hole. Garand has given up three goals or fewer in five straight outings, going 2-3-0 over that stretch with a 2.19 GAA and .915 save percentage, and with Joonas Korpisalo finally off IR, the young netminder won't be leaned on so heavily between the pipes. It's not yet clear if the duo will work in a timeshare, or if Garand will retain his grip on the No. 1 job he's held since Igor Shesterkin (knee) was lost for the season.

Roslovic (lower body) will be in action against the Avalanche on Tuesday, Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun reports.

Roslovic is expected to jump into a first-line role for the Leafs on Tuesday, in part due to the absence of Colton Sissons (lower body), who was labeled week-to-week. For the 29-year-old Roslovic, he returns following just a one-game absence, having racked up 12 points in his last eight contests.

Sissons (lower body) is considered week-to-week, David Alter of The Hockey News reports Tuesday.

Given his week-to-week designation, Sissons will likely be placed on injured reserve in the coming days to give the Leafs an extra roster spot. With the winger on the shelf, Jack Roslovic (lower body) could step into a top-six role against Colorado on Tuesday, assuming he is healthy enough to play.

Point (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday and is expected to miss time, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

While the team hasn't provided a specific recovery timeline for Point, the fact that he was placed on injured reserve doesn't bode well for a short-term absence. It is a significant blow for the 30-year-old center, who was on pace to reach the 80-point threshold for the fifth time in his career after racking up 16 points through 17 contests to start the year. Conor Geekie and Zemgus Girgensons could both be in contention for additional minutes with Point on the shelf.

Parsons was recalled from AHL Belleville on Tuesday.

Parsons' move to join the big club could be an indicator that Linus Ullmark, who was activated from injured reserve Sunday, might not be ready to hit the ice. Regardless of the reasoning, the 21-year-old Parsons has been excellent for AHL Belleville this season, where he's posted a 4-3-1 record, a 2.64 GAA and a .916 save percentage over eight appearances. There's a chance that Parsons could be backing up Samuel Ersson in Tuesday's clash against the Capitals.

Kane signed a one-year contract with HC Sibir Novosibirsk on Tuesday.

Kane notched 13 goals and 18 assists, including six power-play points, in 71 regular-season games with the Canucks last season. With no NHL teams calling, it seems the 35-year-old winger will extend his professional career by heading to the KHL. If he can put together a solid season, it's not impossible he makes his way back to the NHL for the 2027-28 campaign, though he'll certainly face an uphill battle to do so.

Lettieri was reassigned to AHL Toronto on Tuesday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

Lettieri has managed just one point in nine NHL games this season while averaging 9:44 of ice time. In a corresponding move, the Leafs brought up Ryan Tverberg, who could be pressed into service against the Avalanche on Tuesday. This likely won't be the last time Lettieri shifts between leagues this year.

Tverberg was recalled from AHL Toronto on Tuesday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

Tverberg will replace Vinni Lettieri, who was sent down to the Marlies in a corresponding move. In 14 games in the minors this season, the 24-year-old Tverberg has garnered four goals and three helpers. Unless Jack Roslovic (lower body) is ready to play, Tverberg figures to get into the lineup against Colorado on Tuesday.
