Status report
The Maple Leafs did not hold a morning skate Saturday following a 5-2 win against the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday. ... Murray will make his first start against his former team since being traded to Toronto on July 11, 2022. … Acciari, a center who left during the first period Friday, and Samsonov, a goalie, did not make the trip; Maple Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe said Samsonov is dealing with a few minor injuries, and he and his wife are expecting a baby "any day now." … Giordano and Gustafsson, each a defenseman, will be scratched for rest, Keefe said. ... Woll and McMann each was recalled from Toronto of the American Hockey League. ... Sogaard will make his sixth start in seven games. … Chabot is "playing through injuries," Senators coach D.J. Smith said. "He's not 100 percent."
