Stecher, 31, has dressed in six games for Edmonton this season, failing to record a point while logging an average of 13:37 of ice time.
The veteran blueliner was acquired by the Oilers via trade from the then-Arizona Coyotes during 2023-24 season, and inked a two-year deal to remain with the team over the summer.
A pending unrestricted free agent, Stecher has scored 22 goals and 117 points across 566 career games spent with the Vancouver Canucks, Detroit Red Wings, Los Angeles Kings, Coyotes, and Oilers.
Stolarz, 31, hasn’t played since Nov. 11 and is listed as day-to-day.
The 8-8-2 Maple Leafs have dropped four straight games and sit second last in the Atlantic Division.
