Toronto Maple Leafs
The Maple Leafs appeared to get some positive news on the injury front Monday as Chris Tanev took part in practice wearing a regular black jersey.
The veteran blueliner had previously been skating in a non-contact jersey. He has not played since being stretchered off the ice on Nov. 1 in a game against the Philadelphia Flyers.
Tanev paired with Oliver Ekman-Larsson during the session, which suggests he could be slated to make his return when the Maple Leafs face the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday.

The 24-year-old has netted eight goals and has nine assists over 33 games with the Blues in 2025-26, his second campaign in St. Louis.
Holloway, who was acquired from the Edmonton Oilers via an offer sheet in the summer of 2024, put together a career season last year, recording 26 goals and 37 assists over 77 games.
The Calgary native has 43 goals and 55 assists over 199 career games with the Oilers and Blues.
Chicago Blackhawks
Star forward Connor Bedard was placed on injured reserve Monday morning after suffering an upper-body injury late during Friday’s loss to the St. Louis Blues.
The move is retroactive to Dec. 12, meaning the 20-year-old will be sidelined until Dec. 19 and will miss Tuesday’s game against the Toronto Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena.
Defenceman Ethan Del Mastro and goaltender Laurent Brossoit have been recalled from the Rockford IceHogs of the American Hockey League in corresponding moves.
