Jarnkrok blocked a shot in practice Wednesday and will be a game-time decision Friday in Chicago. The 32-year-old two-way center has enjoyed a solid start to his 2023-24 season with four goals, five assists, 28 SOG, four PIMs, +5 plus/minus in 17 games played.
Jarnkrok has missed the Maple Leafs' previous two games due to a head injury but will draw back into the lineup Tuesday vs. Tampa Bay. The 31-year-old centre had 19 goals, 18 assists, 104 SOG, 14 PIMs and a +10 plus/minus through 71 games prior to his injury.
Jarnkrok is a responsible two-way forward that can chip in a little bit of offence. In the last three seasons, he's averaged 18 goals and 24 assists (42 points) per 82 games--however he's missed 13.5 percent of the games during that stretch. He'll likely replace Ondrej Kase in Toronto and skate on the third line with David Kampf and Pierre Engvall.
Jarnkrok missed the last five games but will play Tuesday vs. the Kraken. Jarnkrok is expected to replace Ryan Carpenter in the lineup and should be back on a line with Dillon Dube and Blake Coleman.

The Kraken are retaining 50 percent of Jarnkrok's remaining salary. Jarnkrok is a quality defensive-first forward, who could be a perfect fit on a line with Mikael Backlund and Blake Coleman.
