Kampf scored a goal in Friday's 4-1 win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Kampf's marker was his first goal and point since he signed with the Canucks after parting ways with the Maple Leafs via contract termination in November. The 30-year-old has been pressed into significant usage, averaging 15:28 of ice time over 14 appearances, but his playing time will shrink as the Canucks get healthier. Kampf has added 11 shots on net, 11 blocked shots and 10 hits so far.

Kampf signed a one-year, $1.1 million contract with Vancouver on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Kampf had the final two seasons of his four-year, $9.6 million contract with the Maple Leafs mutually terminated Friday. The 30-year-old had one assist in four appearances with AHL Toronto in 2025-26 before becoming an unrestricted free agent. The Maple Leafs couldn't find a trade partner for him, but Kampf didn't have to wait long to sign a new deal. Kampf will likely serve in a bottom-six capacity for the Canucks, but he might spend some time practicing with Vancouver before drawing into the lineup.

Kampf was put on unconditional waivers for the purpose of terminating his contract Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Kampf was suspended by the Maple Leafs after he left AHL Toronto last week. The Maple Leafs were unable to trade away his rights and the two sides mutually agreed to release Kampf. The 30-year-old will be free to sign with anyone, should he pass through waivers.

The Maple Leafs placed Kampf on waivers Friday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Maple Leafs have been rumored to have had Kampf on the trade block since the beginning of free agency in order to free up salary cap space, so it's no surprise to find him on the waiver wire at this time. The 30-year-old had five goals and 13 points in 59 regular-season games in 2024-25. Should he pass through waivers, don't be surprised if he is sent to AHL Toronto.

Kampf (upper body) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Red Wings, Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old will be unavailable for a seventh consecutive game to close out the regular season, but head coach Craig Berube said Thursday that he's "very confident" that Kampf will be available for Game 1 of the Maple Leafs' first-round series in the playoffs. Over 59 appearances this year, Kampf recorded five goals, eight assists, 50 hits, 26 blocked shots and 14 PIM while averaging 12:24 of ice time.

Kampf (upper body) won't be in the lineup for Tuesday's matchup versus the Sabres, according to Mark Masters of TSN.
EDGE Analysis
Kampf will sit out his sixth straight game, and his availability for Thursday's regular-season finale versus Detroit is unclear. He has contributed five goals, 13 points, 45 shots on net and 50 hits through 59 appearances this season. Once healthy, Kampf will be in the mix for a fourth-line role.

Kampf (upper body) won't travel for Sunday's road game versus the Hurricanes, Mark Masters of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kampf's absence will reach at least five games, and he'll be questionable at best to play Tuesday versus the Sabres. The 30-year-old will likely play in a fourth-line role once he's cleared to return, bumping either Nicholas Robertson or Pontus Holmberg from the lineup.

Kampf (upper body) will sit out Saturday's matchup against Montreal, Evan Doerfler of The Hockey News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kampf will miss his fourth straight game, and it's unclear if he will return before the beginning of the playoffs. He has generated five goals, 13 points, 45 shots on net and 50 hits through 59 appearances this season. Once healthy, Kampf will be in the mix for a fourth-line role.

Head coach Craig Berube said Monday that Kampf (upper body) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Panthers and Wednesday's game against Tampa Bay, Mark Masters of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kampf sustained an upper-body injury against the Panthers last Wednesday and didn't suit up for Saturday's matchup against Columbus. While he was on the ice for Monday's practice session, he'll be unavailable for at least two more games. After the Maple Leafs' next two road matchups, they'll return home to face the Canadiens on Saturday, but it's not yet clear whether Kampf will be in the mix to return for that game.
