Top prospect Matthew Knies is also slated to make his NHL debut tonight against the Florida Panthers.
The Toronto Maple Leafs are going with another amateur tryout to solve their current backup goaltending woes.
The Leafs were in a precarious situation with the salary cap that forced them to go this route for a backup goalie again. Matt Murray is currently hurt, but not for a long enough period to be on LTIR for the Leafs to get cap relief, and after signing Matthew Knies to an entry-level contract on Sunday, they don’t have the cap space to call up Joseph Woll either.
Chenard is an undrafted 21-year-old goaltender who spent this season with the Owen Sound Attack in the OHL. He played 35 games for the Attack, with a 14-16-2 record and .873% save percentage, with an additional playoff game where he posted an .880 save percentage. Chenard also attended the St. Louis Blues development camp last year.
