Scott Laughton News: Scratched for trade-related reasons

Laughton won't play Wednesday in New Jersey for roster-management reasons, per Chris Johnston of The Athletic.

Toronto is poised to be a seller ahead of Friday's trade deadline, and Laughton is among those who could move elsewhere. He has eight goals and 12 points across 43 appearances in 2025-26. If Laughton is still a member of the Maple Leafs on Thursday, he will probably be scratched again rather than play against the Rangers.
