Veteran defenseman Chris Tanev has played only 11 games this season for the Toronto Maple Leafs due to a significant groin injury. He has begun individual rehabilitation on the ice, with the team set to decide by the weekend whether he can return to practice, though surgery remains a potential option for a more thorough recovery. In other news, the Colorado Avalanche will introduce a new ECHL franchise, the New Mexico Goatheads, for the 2026-27 season, and prospect Jakub Fibigr has committed to Ohio State University.
