Kapanen has been out since March 24th but has been skating recently and took part in the morning skate on Thursday, lining him up to be a game-time decision vs. the Devils.

Nugent-Hopkins has missed the last three games with an upper-body injury but is set to play Wednesday vs. the Canadiens. Head coach Dave Tippett would not confirm his lines for Wednesday but look for Nugent-Hopkins to skate with Connor McDavid.


Hyman was forced to leave Sunday's game in Vancouver after a knee-on-knee collision with Alexander Edler. Edler was suspended for two games for the play but it will cost Hyman at least two weeks. This is a tough blow for the Maple Leafs, who rely on Hyman to do a lot of different things.
