Ice Chips: Maple Leafs F Max Pacioretty will return, D Philippe Myers will make his debut against the Bruins

Keep up with all the injury news and roster updates from around the NHL with daily Ice Chips.


Toronto Maple Leafs

Toronto Maple Leafs winger Max Pacioretty appears ready to return from a lower-body injury, while defenseman Philippe Myers is expected to make his debut with the team against the Boston Bruins on Saturday, reports TSN’s Mark Masters .

Pacioretty, 35, left Tuesday’s loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets due to injury and did not return. After missing a game against the St. Louis Blue on Thursday, the American winger appears to be making his return to the Toronto lineup in favor of Pontus Holmberg.

After signing a PTO deal with the Leafs in training camp, Pacioretty has two goals in five games played with Toronto this season.

Myers will be in the lineup for his debut with the Maple Leafs while Connor Timmins will have the day off.

The Canadian defenseman joined the team as a free agent this past offseason, signing a one-year deal worth $775,000.

A native of Moncton, New Brunswick, Myers played five games with the Tampa Bay Lightning last season, where he recorded no points. He also made stops with the Nashville Predators and Philadelphia Flyers, who originally signed him as an undrafted free agent in 2015.


Philadelphia Flyers

The Flyers have sent prospect Jett Luchanko to the Guelph Storm of the OHL.

Luchanko made the NHL training camp team, playing in four games this season as the league’s youngest player. He scored no points averaging 14:03 minutes of ice time and last played on October 19 against the Vancouver Canucks.

The 18-year-old was selected 13th overall by the Flyers in June’s draft. In 68 games with Guelph last season, he had 20 goals and 74 points in 68 games.


The Penguins have designated a goaltender Tristan Jarry to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on a conditional loan.

Jarry has struggled to start the 2024-25 campaign, recording an .836 save percentage and 5.47 goals-against average in three appearances this season.

He has not played since October 16 against the Buffalo swords when he allowed three goals on five shots against. On Thursday, he was sent back to Pittsburgh to do individual work as the Penguins are in the middle of a four-game road trip through Western Canada.

The 29-year-old is in the second season of a five-year, $26.9 million contract with an AAV of $5.375 million.

In 51 games last season, Jarry was 19-25-5 with a .903 save percentage and a 2.91 GAA.
