Jarnkrok managed an assist in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Senators in Game 1.
Jarnkrok helped out on Oliver Ekman-Larsson's opening goal at 7:09 of the first period. The 33-year-old Jarnkrok has a helper in three straight contests while sticking in a fourth-line role. The veteran forward was limited to 19 regular-season appearances, earning seven points, nine shots on net, 15 hits and nine blocked shots. He isn't expected to be a major factor on offense as long as he's confined to the bottom six.

Rotowire
Jarnkrok notched an assist in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Sabres.

Jarnkrok is now at six points, nine shots on net, 15 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 18 appearances. While he's playing consistently, his fourth-line usage is not friendly for fantasy purposes.

Maple Leafs' Calle Jarnkrok: Provides helper in Sunday's win
Rotowire
Jarnkrok notched an assist in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.
Jarnkrok has chipped in a goal and four assists over his last nine outings while filling a bottom-six role. He's not in the lineup every game, but he's playing a majority of the time, most recently at the expense of Nicholas Robertson for the last two contests. Jarnkrok is at five points, six shots on net, 10 hits, six blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 11 appearances this season.
Maple Leafs' Calle Jarnkrok: Chips in assist Tuesday
Rotowire
Jarnkrok logged an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Flyers.
Jarnkrok set up a David Kampf goal in the second period as the Maple Leafs' bottom six mopped up some minutes in a blowout win. Jarnkrok had been scratched for the previous two games, but he took the place of Pontus Holmberg on the fourth line. The depth players in Toronto are not guaranteed a spot in the lineup -- there's been a handful of players to see time in the press box. Jarnkrok has four points, four shots on net, six hits, five blocked shots and four PIM across eight appearances this season since he overcame a long-term absence due to a groin injury and sports hernia surgery.

Maple Leafs' Calle Jarnkrok: Nets first goal of season
Rotowire
Jarnkrok scored a power-play goal in Monday's 4-3 shootout win over Utah.
The 33-year-old veteran didn't make his season debut until March 3, and it took him three appearances -- and only two shots on goal -- to find the back of the net. He's been playing on the second line, and he should find decent opportunities to keep producing as long as he continues to skate alongside John Tavares and William Nylander.

Maple Leafs' Calle Jarnkrok: Removed from LTIR
Rotowire
Jarnkrok (groin) was activated from long-term injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.
After having groin and sports hernia surgery in November, Jarnkrok will presumably make his season debut against San Jose on Monday following a 60-game absence. He accounted for 10 goals and 21 points across 52 regular-season appearances in 2023-24. Jarnkrok will probably replace Ryan Reaves in Monday's lineup.

Maple Leafs' Calle Jarnkrok: Nearing return
Rotowire
Jarnkrok (groin) was a full participant in Saturday's practice but won't play against Pittsburgh on Sunday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
It remains unclear when Jarnkrok will see his first game action of the 2024-25 campaign after having groin and sports hernia surgery in November, but he appears close to being an option to come off long-term injured reserve. Jarnkrok had 10 goals and 21 points across 52 regular-season appearances in 2023-24.

Maple Leafs' Calle Jarnkrok: Still two weeks out
Rotowire
Jarnkrok (sports hernia) will be re-evaluated in two weeks to determine a clearer recovery timeline, David Alter of The Hockey News reports Tuesday.
Jarnkrok has yet to get into a game this season and seems unlikely to be cleared ahead of the NHL shutdown for the 4 Nations Face-Off. Even once cleared to play, the 33-year-old forward figures to serve primarily in a bottom-six role and could struggle to produce much in the way of offensive upside.

Maple Leafs' Calle Jarnkrok: Undergoes sports hernia procedure
Rotowire
Jarnkrok had surgery to repair a sports hernia and is now considered month-to-month, the Leafs announced Monday.
At this point, Jarnkrok should probably be considered a long shot to play again in 2024, with a season debut more likely in January or beyond. Considering the 33-year-old center still managed 21 points in 52 regular-season appearances last year, the 20-point threshold may still be achievable depending on when he is able to get back on the ice -- though stashing him in fantasy leagues for minimal offensive output doesn't really make sense.

Maple Leafs' Calle Jarnkrok: Experiences setback in recovery
Rotowire
General manager Brad Treliving said Monday that Jarnkrok (lower body) has experienced a setback in his recovery and will see a specialist in New York, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
Jarnkrok has been on long-term injured reserve since the start of the regular season, and he was already without a timetable to return to the lineup. It's not yet clear how his setback will impact his recovery, but a better idea of his status could come into focus after he visits with the specialist.

Maple Leafs' Calle Jarnkrok: No timeline for return
Rotowire
Jarnkrok (lower body) has no timeline for a return to the lineup, per Mark Masters of TSN on Saturday.
Jarnkrok remains on long-term injured reserve and isn't close to being available. He has participated in some morning skates but hasn't played since the preseason. Jarnkrok produced 10 goals, 21 points, 92 shots on net and 55 hits in 52 regular-season appearances in 2023-24. Once healthy, he will be in the mix for a bottom-six role in the lineup.

Maple Leafs' Calle Jarnkrok: Lands on LTIR
Rotowire
Jarnkrok (lower body) was placed on long-term injured reserve Monday.
Jarnkrok dealt with a lower-body injury over the final few weeks of training camp, and the issue will force him to miss several weeks to begin the regular season. He was in and out of the lineup during the preseason, but his time on long-term injured reserve should allow him to fully recover before making his season debut. Once he's healthy, the 33-year-old will likely fill a top-six role for Toronto.

Maple Leafs' Calle Jarnkrok: Still hampered by injury
Rotowire
Jarnkrok was held out of practice Friday due to a lower-body injury.
Jarnkrok has been in and out of the lineup during preseason due to a lingering upper-body injury. The 33-year-old center should probably be considered questionable ahead of Saturday's preseason finale versus the Red Wings, and more likely will be given the time to get healthy ahead of Opening Night versus the Canadiens on Wednesday.

Barring any setbacks, the 33-year-old Swede appears set to fill a top-six role for Toronto, which could see him challenge for the 40-point threshold for the first time in his career.

Maple Leafs' Calle Jarnkrok: Out of lineup Thursday
Rotowire
Jarnkrok (lower body) will not play against the Canadiens on Thursday.
Jarnkrok missed 30 regular-season games due to injury last year and seems to already be dealing with another problem to open the 2024-25 campaign. The winger has been skating, so he seems on track for Opening Night -- though fantasy players will want to continue monitoring the situation.

Maple Leafs' Calle Jarnkrok: In doubt for playoff opener
Rotowire
Jarnkrok (hand) may not be ready for Game 1 of the postseason. Head coach Sheldon Keefe told reporters Monday, "Still to be determined, but I think he's more in a day-to-day situation. Unfortunately we're running out of schedule here," per Mark Masters of TSN.
Jarnkrok is going to travel with the team but won't suit up for the final two games of the regular season. As such, he'll finish the year with 21 points in 52 contests. While he will have played in just six of the last 35 games of the regular season, Jarnkrok should be in contention for a bottom-six role once given the all-clear.

Rotowire
Jarnkrok (hand) is not expected to play prior to the final two games of the regular season, Mark Masters of TSN reports.
Jarnkrok is no guarantee for those contests either -- the Maple Leafs may take a cautious approach if they lock up their playoff positioning early. Jarnkrok has resumed skating, but he's still over a week away from a return.
