Atlantic Notes: Mrazek, Del Zotto, Cernak, Bogosian

December 11, 2021 at 12:38 pm CDT | by Brian La Rose 3 Comments

The Maple Leafs will activate goaltender Petr Mrazek off LTIR to start him tonight against Chicago, notes Postmedia’s Lance Hornby (Twitter link).  The veteran has been limited to just two appearances this season due to a groin injury and after being brought in to push Jack Campbell for playing time, it may be hard to come by with Campbell currently sporting a 1.99 GAA with a .935 SV%.  Joseph Woll, who had been serving as Toronto’s backup, will soon return to the minors.

While not yet announced by the team, it would appear as if winger Mitch Marner will be transferred to LTIR to create the cap space for the Maple Leafs to activate Mrazek.  Marner suffered a shoulder injury in practice earlier this month that was expected to keep him out for a few weeks.  In his case, an LTIR transfer (which can be done retroactively to his initial IR placement) would keep him out for at least 10 games and 24 days.

More from the Atlantic:

  • Ottawa’s decision to waive Michael Del Zotto on Friday came as a bit of a surprise considering they only recently gave him a two-year deal. However, head coach D.J. Smith told reporters, including Postmedia’s Bruce Garrioch (Twitter link) that injuries have forced the Senators to shift more towards making this a development year which means the prospects get the priority moving forward.  Smith referenced that Jacob Bernard-Docker and Lassi Thomson are young blueliners that should start seeing NHL action again soon.
  • Erik Cernak’s timeline for a return has been delayed as Bryan Burns of the Lightning’s team site relays (Twitter link) that the blueliner is now listed as week to week and won’t play until after the holiday break. The 24-year-old suffered a lower-body injury last week in just his third game back from an upper-body issue.  In between those ailments, Cernak has been an important part of Tampa Bay’s top four, logging 19:30 per game.  The extended timeline will make him LTIR-eligible.
  • Cernak isn’t the only injured Lightning blueliner either as the team announced (Twitter link) prior to their game against the Sens that Zach Bogosian is day-to-day with a lower-body injury. Injuries have limited the 31-year-old to just 15 games this season where he has four points, 41 hits, and 34 penalty minutes.

    Maybe the Leafs can build up Petr and then dump him off to AZ or Buffalo.
    Been saying it for weeks,they can offload a bad contract (Mrazek) with Holl/Dermott and a 2nd to land Theodore.
    Let’s hope Kyle can put that in his computer soon.
    Comical that they have a chance to dump 2 mistakes on D with the depth that they have.

      VGK in between the tense and the stench and clubs need to circle. They can’t all sit back like Francis at the expansion draft. They can get creative with other clubs eating money. Sheff on it today.
