Maple Leafs Prospect Roundup: 2026 draft class update, Luke Haymes stays hot
The Leafs’ 2026 draft class is already making waves.

Third‑round picks include Ethan MacKenzie (North Dakota), who recorded an assist in his first six collegiate games; winger Zac Olsen (Colorado College), who logs a goal and three assists in six outings; blueliner Måns Gudmundsson (Färjestad), now with three goals and seven assists in 12 games; and Finnish goalie Juuso Ainasto, posting a 2.57 GAA and .903 SV% in the U20 SM‑sarja.

After a 0‑5 start, the Calgary Flames rebound with a 5‑2 home win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Oct. 27, 2026. Young forward Matvei Gridin sparked the comeback, scoring twice—including a 25‑second power‑play goal off Zayne Parekh’s outlet pass—to give Calgary a 3‑0 lead. Captain Mikael Backlund added another, while Joel Farabee and Martin Pospisil sealed the victory with empty‑netters. Coach Ryan Huska credits a faster, simpler style for the turnaround, as the Flames improve to 5‑6‑0 after 11 games and aim for .500 against Edmonton next.

Kirill Marchenko’s Exit Adds Injury to Insult for Maple Leafs As Win Streak Snapped
The Toronto Maple Leafs’ four‑game winning streak ends with a 5‑2 loss to the Calgary Flames on Oct. 27, 2026, and the defeat deepens as top‑six forward Kirill Marchenko suffers a knee injury in the second period.
