Matthews (lower body) won't finish Thursday's game versus the Ducks.

Matthews took a knee-on-knee hit from Radko Gudas in the second period. The 28-year-old Matthews was able to end his 12-game goal drought with a power-play tally prior to his exit, but the injury is now a much more significant concern. More should be known about Matthews' status prior to Toronto's weekend back-to-back with games in Buffalo on Saturday and in Minnesota on Sunday.

Sergachev (lower body) is expected to play Thursday versus Chicago.

Sergachev missed Utah's previous four games. He has 10 goals and 42 points in 61 outings in 2025-26. Sergachev is projected to play alongside MacKenzie Weegar on Thursday.

Contrary to an earlier report, Soderblom isn't starting in Thursday's road game against Utah, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Spencer Knight is set to get the nod instead. Soderblom has a 6-10-3 record, 3.70 GAA and .876 save percentage in 20 outings in 2025-26.

Knight will guard the road goal versus the Mammoth on Thursday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

A previous report indicated Arvid Soderblom will start, but it will be Knight between the pipes. The 24-year-old missed three games due to an illness, and Knight was 0-3-1 with 11 goals allowed over his four outings prior to his absence.

Vejmelka will protect the home goal versus the Blackhawks on Thursday.

Vejmelka will get the nod for the third time in the last four games. He's allowed nine goals on 61 shots over his last two outings, though he has gone 1-1-0 in that span. For the season, Vejmelka is 30-17-2 with a 2.69 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 50 appearances.

Soderblom is expected to start on the road against Utah on Thursday, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Soderblom will attempt to get back into the win column after going 0-1-1 while stopping 43 of 51 shots (.843 save percentage) across his past two starts. He's 6-10-3 with a 3.70 GAA and an .876 save percentage in 20 outings this campaign. Chicago is 5-10-4 while averaging 2.21 goals per game across its past 19 outings.

Stone (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Thursday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Stone was considered a game-time decision despite participating in practice in a non-contact jersey. His activation makes him eligible to play, though it remains to be seen if he will suit up versus the Penguins. If he sits out once more, it seems likely Stone would return Saturday versus the Blackhawks at the latest.

Mitchell was traded to the Lightning from the Red Wings on Thursday in exchange for Wojciech Stachowiak and Michael Milne.

Mitchell, a defenseman, was traded for two forwards since Detroit's NHL injuries have depleted AHL Grand Rapids' depth. Mitchell had 20 points in 45 games with the Griffins before the trade. He will be an unrestricted free agent after the season.

Raddysh (personal) has been activated to the active roster, but he isn't expected to play Thursday versus Winnipeg, per Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic.

Raddysh sat out two games while on the non-roster list due to a personal matter, and it appears as though he will be scratched for Thursdays contest. He has nine goals and 17 points in 59 outings in 2025-26. His next opportunity to return will come Saturday in Minnesota.

Milne and Wojciech Stachowiak were traded to the Red Wings from the Lightning on Thursday in exchange for Ian Mitchell.

Milne is on the move for the second time this season, though he won't get into the NHL with his new team since this deal was done after the NHL's trade deadline. Between AHL Iowa and Syracuse, Milne was limited to just six points in 34 appearances. He'll be a restricted free agent in the offseason.
