Toronto Maple Leafs

Off-season signing Matias Maccelli skated on the top line with Auston Matthews and Matthew Knies at practice on Tuesday as the Maple Leafs prepare for their season opener on Wednesday against the visiting Montreal Canadines.

The 24-year-old Maccelli, who was acquired from the Utah Mammoth over the summer, netted eight goals and 10 assists over 55 games in 2024-25, his fourth season in the NHL.

Maccelli is entering the final season of a three-year, $10.28 million contract.

Winger Sammy Blais, who was claimed off waivers by the Leafs on Monday alongside backup goalie Cayden Primeau, skated with the team as an extra at practice.

Maple Leafs general manager Brad Treliving said Tuesday he wants to see Easton Cowan seeing game action, whether that’s at the NHL level or in the AHL.

Cowan was not named to the team’s opening-night roster on Monday despite a promising training camp with the team.

“Today, he’s not on the roster. And then we’ll see what happens tomorrow,” Treliving said, per The Athletic. “… If he’s gonna be playing with us here, great. But if he’s not — I want him playing.”

Cowan worked as the team’s 13th forward in practice Sunday before Monday’s roster was announced.

Treliving added that things are progressing well with goalie Joseph Woll, who is away from the team to attend a personal matter, but had no timetable for return.

St. Louis Blues

Veteran forward Milan Lucic is rehabbing a lower-body injury in St. Louis as the Blues will extend his professional tryout in 10-day increments.

No official contract has been signed.

Lucic signed with the Blues in August. The 37-year-old winger last played early in the 2023-24 season, appearing in four games with the Boston Bruins before taking an indefinite leave of absence. He was charged with domestic violence shortly after the leave was announced, but prosecutors dropped the case four months later, saying the decision by his wife to invoke marital privilege made it impossible for them to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt.

In the team’s release last month, the Blues stated that Lucic has completed the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program and has been reinstated by the league.

In other news, forward Oskar Sundqvist is out week-to-week with a lower-body injury.
