Chenard is no longer on the Leafs' active roster, David Alter of Sports Illustrated reports Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
With the Leafs in a back-to-back and Chenard serving as the No. 2 behind Ilya Samsonov on Monday, there were plenty of questions surrounding who might get the start for Tuesday's clash with Tampa Bay. While there's been no official confirmation from the Leafs yet, Joseph Woll was recalled from the minors, and the 21-year-old Chenard was removed from the roster in a corresponding move. Chenard will no doubt be hoping his brief cameo with the Leafs could earn him at least an AHL deal heading into next season, as he will have aged out of junior eligibility.

Chenard agreed to terms on an amateur tryout agreement with the Leafs on Monday in order to serve as the backup versus the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Chenard didn't get onto the ice Monday, sitting behind Ilya Samsonov while Matt Murray (concussion) was unavailable. With the Leafs heading into a back-to-back in a meaningless game versus Tampa Bay on Tuesday, the club could consider giving Chenard the start in order to rest Samsonov.
