Maple Leafs' Calle Jarnkrok: Will dress versus Bolts
Rotowire
Jarnkrok (groin), as expected, will be in the lineup for Tuesday's clash with Tampa Bay, Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun reports.
Jarnkrok returns following a seven-game stint on the shelf due to his groin problem. Following the decision to trade Denis Malgin, the Leafs look set to move the healthy Jarnkork into that spot on the second line alongside John Tavares and Mitch Marner. In that spot, Jarnkork should get plenty of opportunities to produce, making him a solid fantasy target.

Maple Leafs' Calle Jarnkrok: Gets shorthanded goal vs. Ducks
Rotowire

Maple Leafs' Calle Jarnkrok: Intrigues coach with skill
Rotowire
Jarnkrok started the first day of training camp skating on a line with Auston Matthews and Michael Bunting, reports The Athletic.
Jarnkrok won't start the season there, but he does intrigue coach Sheldon Keefe. And that may mean he gets a long look beside John Tavares and William Nylander. "I think he has the skill set to be able (there)," the Leafs coach said, "whether it's (with) Auston or John (Tavares). He has the ability to do that. He can play anywhere in our lineup." Monitor this situation closely, as a second-line gig alongside high-end scorers would rapidly inflate Jarnkrok's fantasy value.
