Maple Leafs' Sergei Bobrovsky: Doing his part as team starts to gel
Rotowire
Bobrovsky made 26 saves Saturday in a 3-2 loss to the Senators.
Bobrovsky remains winless in two starts this season with a 3.06 GAA and .887 save percentage. His stat line is more indicative of a team needing to gel in front of him than a condemnation of his effort or skill. Bob is doing his part, and those numbers will improve once the team clicks.

Maple Leafs' Auston Matthews: Gets first goal of season
Rotowire
Matthews scored a goal Saturday in a 3-2 loss to Ottawa.
He showed off his silky mitts on a beautiful tip from a Morgan Rielly shot early in the second period to open the scoring for the Leafs. Matthews fired a team-high six shots in 21:50, second only in ice time to Darren Raddysh. The superstar has had a quiet start to the season -- this was his first point in three games. But he rang the post and had a jump in his step Saturday. Matthews is looking to rebound from an injury-riddled 2025-26 where he scored just 27 goals and 26 assists in 60 games. Right now, he's working on chemistry with new linemate Kirill Marchenko, a duo that could light up the league when they fully click.

Maple Leafs' Kirill Marchenko: First goal with new team
Rotowire
Marchenko scored a goal Saturday in a 3-2 loss to Ottawa.
It was his first goal as a Maple Leaf. Marchenko was at the right side of the net on the power play when Darren Raddysh fed him the puck, and he quickly went to his backhand and put it past Linus Ullmark's blocker. The Leafs are yet to win this season, but the trade that brought Marchenko to Toronto already looks like a victory.
Maple Leafs' Brendan Brisson: Logs three points for Marlies
Rotowire
Brisson scored twice and added an assist in AHL Toronto's 5-3 win over Hamilton on Saturday.
Brisson is on the scoresheet in just his second game with his new team. He racked up 37 points over 66 regular-season outings for AHL Hartford last year. Brisson was a first-round pick of Vegas in 2020, but he has yet to stick at the NHL level. He had an assist in three games for the Rangers in 2025-26, and it's unclear if he'll do enough to earn a call-up to the Maple Leafs in 2026-27.

Maple Leafs' Sergei Bobrovsky: Guarding goal Saturday
Rotowire
Bobrovsky will protect the home goal versus the Senators on Saturday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
Bobrovsky stopped 21 of 24 shots Tuesday versus the Canadiens in the Maple Leafs' season opener. He'll get a second chance between the pipes as he looks to settle into a rhythm as his new team's starter. If Bobrovsky struggles, Anthony Stolarz is a capable backup who could pick up extra work.
Hopkins scored twice in OHL Guelph's 4-2 win over Windsor on Friday.
Hopkins has taken off quickly in this OHL campaign, earning three goals and seven points over his first three games of the campaign. The Maple Leafs prospect is in a great situation, so steady offense should be on the way for him throughout the campaign. He has yet to sign his entry-level contract, so he could opt to head to the NCAA next year if he remains unsigned.

Maple Leafs' Colton Sissons: Opens scoring in win
Rotowire
Sissons scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Islanders.
Sissons tallied in the first period for his first goal as a Maple Leaf. The 32-year-old defensive forward has slotted onto the third line to begin his tenure in Toronto. For the second year in a row, he is ostensibly serving as a team's replacement for Nicolas Roy, as the Maple Leafs dealt that forward to Colorado at the trade deadline last year. Sissons has a little less scoring upside, but he should be able to do better than his 11-point effort over 66 regular-season games with the Golden Knights last year. Sissons also missed the 100-hit mark for the first time in five years in 2025-26, but he's already racked up six hits and three blocks over two games in 2026-27.

Maple Leafs' Easton Cowan: Carries offense in Wednesday's win
Rotowire
Cowan scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Islanders.
He added three shots on net, two hits and a plus-1 rating to his ledger. Cowan's off to a quick start to 2026-27, collecting a goal and three points in the Leafs' first two games, and a consistent spot in the middle six and on the second power-play unit positions the 21-year-old winger to take a big step forward with his production after he delivered 11 goals and 29 points in 66 regular-season games as a rookie last season.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Sharp in first win of season
Rotowire
Stolarz stopped 26 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Islanders.
The veteran netminder took a shutout into the third period, only for Emil Heineman to spoil it with a shortie, but it was still an impressive start to the campaign for Stolarz. He's set to handle backup duties behind new No. 1 Sergei Bobrovsky, but the former Panther's decline last season could open the door for Stolarz to see more work than expected if its continues, provided he can stay healthy enough to take advantage.
Joshua (abdomen) has been moved from the non-roster list to long-term injured reserve, PuckPedia reports Wednesday.
Joshua was already considered week-to-week, and this move reinforces that he's going to be out for a while. More specifically, he will be forced to miss at least Toronto's first 10 games, and it's possible he will be on the shelf for longer than that. The 30-year-old had 10 goals, 18 points, 49 PIM and 195 hits in 55 regular-season appearances in 2025-26.

Maple Leafs' Max Domi: On long-term injured reserve
Rotowire
Domi (back) was transferred from the non-roster list to long-term injured reserve Wednesday, per PuckPedia.
There's no timetable for Domi's return after he had complications while undergoing surgery over the summer. The 31-year-old had 12 goals, 36 points and 95 PIM in 80 regular-season appearances with Toronto in 2025-26. Domi will likely serve in a middle-six capacity once he's ready to return.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Expected to start Wednesday
Rotowire
Stolarz is set to start at home against the Islanders on Wednesday, per Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun.
Stolarz had a 10-10-3 record, 3.28 GAA and .893 save percentage in 26 regular-season appearances with the Maple Leafs in 2025-26. Toronto is playing in the second half of a back-to-back after suffering a 3-2 loss to Montreal on Tuesday. Sergei Bobrovsky got the assignment for that game, turning aside 21 of 24 shots in the loss. Stolarz is Toronto's No. 2 option, but he's capable of taking a bigger share of the workload than your typical understudy, provided he stays healthy.
Maple Leafs' Darren Raddysh: Looked nervous in debut
Rotowire
Raddysh fired three shots, delivered two blocks and finished minus-2 in 23:47 of ice time in a 3-2 loss to Montreal on Tuesday.
Raddysh looked a bit nervous on the ice, which isn't really a surprise -- he grew up in nearby Caledon on the edge of the Greater Toronto Area, and he likely had dozens of family and friends in the house. Raddysh was paired with Morgan Rielly, and neither man looked especially comfortable. It's game one, so we're not worried. Raddysh is fresh off a 22-goal, 70-point season with Tampa Bay, and he brings his booming shot and offense to the potent Toronto lineup.

Maple Leafs' Kirill Marchenko: Assist in blue-and-white debut
Rotowire
Marchenko picked up an assist in a 3-2 loss to the Canadiens on Tuesday.
Marchenko showed real flash Tuesday despite a whirlwind 24 hours that saw him get traded to Toronto. He played with Auston Matthews and Jack Roslovic, and the trio dominated with 8-1 high-danger chances against the Nick Suzuki line. Yes, the Selke winner from last season. Marchenko showed a lot of creativity Tuesday and was the best player on his line. His career mark of 31 goals and 43 assists (79 games; plus-29), set in 2024-25, will be threatened this season if this level continues.

Maple Leafs' Sergei Bobrovsky: Solid in debut
Rotowire
Bobrovsky made 21 saves Tuesday in a 3-2 loss to Montreal.
Bob was solid, but he was at the mercy of three turnovers by his mates within the Leafs' zone. There were also a couple of deflections that were all but impossible to stop. The team in front of Bobrovsky wasn't really connecting with passes, and they looked like a bunch of guys learning to play together. Bob will be fine when the team cleans up its play in front of him.

Maple Leafs' Gavin McKenna: Quiet pro debut
Rotowire
McKenna had one shot on net in a 3-2 loss to Montreal on Tuesday.
Head coach Jim Hiller moved the top pick from the 2026 NHL Entry Draft up and down between lines two and three in his NHL debut. McKenna was minus-2 with one shot on goal in 15:19. He didn't really stand out, but that's not bad. He didn't make mistakes even if his offense didn't show. McKenna will get every opportunity to play a lead role on the second power-play unit and skate on the second line.
