Pavel Francouz - G

Colorado Avalanche

Pavel Francouz has been using virtual reality training to try to stay sharp during the NHL pause.

Since the NHL paused on March 12, players haven't been able to practice or skate. The most they can really do in self-isolation is workout, which can keep them physically fit but that's not the same as being game ready. Virtual reality training isn't a substitute for on-ice work either, but it's something Francouz can do to keep himself a little closer to where he'll need to be should the campaign resume. It's a tool to train his brain and keep his reflexes sharp. "One such practice unit is that you look at different shapes, blinking several ways and as quickly as possible you have to choose one of the rankings options that is correct," Francouz said. "So you have to use your memory and quick decisions at the same time. Then there are different games. Like when you have a bat in your hand and there are four spots from which a ball can get to you. The ball is slowing down, speeding up ... And one teammate is showing up. So you have to hit the ball that gets to you from different spots and send it to the place where the teammate showed up. This has all been made to model sport situations for your brain. And it really is able to stimulate your brain so I think it is really helpful."

C. Paquette - F

OTT

Cedric Paquette (upper body) has been ruled out for Monday's match against Vancouver.

Paquette was injured in Saturday's match against Winnipeg. Consider him day-to-day for now. Alex Galchenyuk will be in the lineup on Monday night in Paquette's place.

M. Tkachuk - F

CGY

Matthew Tkachuk denied allegations on Monday that he attempted to injure Toronto goalie Jack Campbell.

"I'm just digging for a puck. I was battling with Brods and guys started coming in and just got knocked over and obviously had no intention of falling into [Campbell] or anything like that," Tkachuk said. "That's just a classic thing to try and accuse me of." Tkachuk appeared to knee Campbell in the back/head area late in Sunday's loss to Toronto. The Leafs didn't accuse him of anything, but there was some backlash on social media and in the press.

Jason Spezza won't play on Tuesday night against Calgary.

Coach Sheldon Keefe said that Spezza will get a chance to rest amid what has been a busy start to the 2020-21 season. It will also give the Leafs a chance to look at other players. Spezza has three assists in seven games this year.

J. Campbell - G

TOR

Jack Campbell didn't take part in Monday's practice.

Coach Sheldon Keefe said afterward that Campbell is being evaluated for an injury and there's no update on his condition yet. The Leafs goaltender was in visible discomfort in the late stages of Toronto's win over Calgary on Sunday. He was hurting before Matthew Tkachuk fell on him knee-first, so it's unclear what the issue is exactly. If he can't suit up on Tuesday night then Michael Hutchinson will dress in his place.

M. Nutivaara - D

FLA

Markus Nutivaara practiced on Monday and he is "extremely close to playing," according to coach Joel Quenneville.

"We'd love to see him in a game," Quenneville said. "We have a couple guys that we haven't seen yet. Juulsen is another defenseman as well in the same situation. Right now, early in the year, they'll all get a chance to play. "We haven't had that pure assessment evaluation… I look forward to seeing him play. I like the way he moves in practice. He looks very comfortable out there with possession and how he moves. We'll get to find out here quickly." Nutivaara will join the Panthers on their trip to Columbus.
