MacEwen has been sidelined since mid-November due to an ACL injury, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for the start of the 2026-27 campaign. He's made 54 regular-season NHL appearances between the Senators and Devils across the last three years, racking up four goals, two assists, 110 hits, 78 PIM and 15 blocked shots while averaging 6:55 of ice time.

Jarnkrok will conclude 2025-26 with six goals, eight points, eight PIM, 45 shots, 33 hits and 11 blocks in 56 appearances. Michael Pezzetta will draw into the lineup Wednesday due to Jarnkrok's absence.

Joshua will complete the season with 10 goals, eight assists, 49 PIM, 195 hits and 32 blocked shots over 55 contests. He is expected to be ready for the start of training camp in September.

Matthews had already been ruled out for the remainder of the season due to a Grade 3 MCL tear and quadriceps contusion, and he has a recovery timetable of approximately 12 weeks following Thursday's procedure. The 28-year-old finished his 2025-26 campaign with 27 goals, 26 assists, 81 blocked shots, 42 hits and 18 PIM while averaging 20:48 of ice time. Given his return timetable, it seems unlikely that Matthews will be an option for Team USA at the IIHF World Championship, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him available for training camp ahead of the 2026-27 NHL campaign.

Tanev is projected to be ready for training camp in September. He's signed to a six-year, $27 million contract that runs through 2029-30 and comes with a no-movement clause, so it's fair to believe he'll still be a member of the Leafs for the 2026-27 season. The 36-year-old defenseman will complete 2025-26 with two assists, eight shots, two hits and 15 blocks in 11 appearances.
