Who does Jack Roslovic play with on the Maple Leafs?

Roslovic was born on Jan. 29, 1997, in Columbus, Ohio, which makes him 29. The Winnipeg Jets drafted him 25th overall in 2015, and before Toronto he played for Winnipeg, Columbus, the New York Rangers, Carolina and Edmonton.

Did Jack Roslovic and Auston Matthews play together before?

Yes. Roslovic and Matthews were teammates in USA Hockey's National Team Development Program before both became first-round NHL picks. Roslovic went 25th overall in 2015, and Matthews went first overall in 2016.

When will Kirill Marchenko return for the Leafs?

Marchenko was hurt in Calgary on Oct. 26, 2026, and the Leafs have listed him as week-to-week with a lower-body injury. Toronto placed him on injured reserve on Oct. 28, and no return date has been given.

Jack Roslovic Has 15 Points in 15 Games. Leave Him With Matthews

Jack Roslovic has earned Auston Matthews' wing

Jack Roslovic has 15 points in his first 15 games as a Toronto Maple Leaf, and it is time to stop calling it a hot start. Through the 5-4 loss in Seattle on Oct. 28, Roslovic had six goals and nine assists with 38 shots and a plus-1 rating, per ESPN's game log, while averaging about 16:39 a night, fourth among Leafs forwards. He scored and added a power-play assist in Seattle, and RotoWire had his point streak at five games (three goals, six assists).

That production has come almost entirely on Auston Matthews' right side, and LeafsLurker's position is simple: that is where he stays. When Kirill Marchenko and John Tavares come back, and they will, Jim Hiller is going to face a crowded top six. Roslovic should be the last name moved off the top line, not the first.

We argued in August that Roslovic was the cheapest top-six answer on the roster. Fifteen games in, that argument looks conservative.

The Jack Roslovic numbers, then and now

Roslovic signed a two-year, $8 million contract on July 1, 2026, a $4 million cap hit through 2027-28. He is 29, born Jan. 29, 1997, in Columbus, Ohio, and was a first-round pick of the Winnipeg Jets, 25th overall, in 2015. He came to Toronto off a 21-goal season in Edmonton, which he had played on a one-year, $1.5 million deal signed in October 2025 after going unsigned through the summer.

Here is how this season compares with his last one:

Season	Team	Games	Goals	Points	Points per game	Cap hit
2025-26	Edmonton Oilers	69	21	36	0.52	$1.5 million
2026-27 (through Oct. 28)	Toronto Maple Leafs	15	6	15	1.00	$4 million

Nobody should expect a point a game for 82. Roslovic is converting about 16 per cent of his shots (six goals on 38), and he is riding a power play and a linemate who make everyone look better. But the jump is not a mirage either. His goal pace is up, though not wildly: 0.40 a game against 0.30 in Edmonton. The bigger change is the assists, and assists on Matthews' line are not an accident: they come from getting the puck to the best shooter in the world.

Why it works with Matthews

The fit is not new. Roslovic and Matthews came through USA Hockey's National Team Development Program together, and TSN's Mark Masters has written about the two renewing that chemistry in Toronto. What Roslovic brings to the line is the thing it was missing after Mitch Marner left and Matthew Knies was traded: a winger who can carry the puck through the neutral zone at speed and make a pass at the end of it.

Speed is the part the tracking data backs up. The Leafs Nation pointed to NHL Edge tracking that had Roslovic tied for fifth in the league in 22-plus mph skating bursts early this season. On a team that has struggled to defend the rush, a forward who can turn a regroup into a clean zone entry also means fewer turnovers at the blue line, which matters at both ends.

He also has the kind of scoring touch that lets Matthews play off the puck. Matthews reached 800 career points in Calgary on Oct. 26, in his 703rd game, the fastest anyone has done it in franchise history, which we covered in our Matthews 800 points story. A centre like that needs a winger who can find him, and Roslovic's nine assists show he can.

The crowded top six that is coming

Right now Toronto's top six is set by injuries. Friday's practice lines in Vancouver, posted by The Athletic's Joshua Kloke, had Gavin McKenna and Roslovic on Matthews' wings, and Easton Cowan with Nick Paul and William Nylander. Marchenko is on injured reserve and week-to-week after getting hurt in Calgary on Oct. 26, and Tavares was not on Friday's lines.

Player	Position	Status as of Oct. 31	Cap hit
Jack Roslovic	RW	Top line with Matthews	$4 million
Gavin McKenna	LW	Top line with Matthews	$1.075 million (entry-level)
William Nylander	RW	Second line	$11.5 million
Easton Cowan	Wing	Second line, left side	$900,000 (entry-level)
Kirill Marchenko	RW	Injured reserve, week-to-week	$3.85 million
John Tavares	C	Out, lower body	$4.38 million

When everyone is healthy, Toronto has four natural right wingers for two top-six spots: Nylander, Marchenko, Roslovic and, on some nights, a moved-over McKenna. Somebody slides down. The easy answer will be Roslovic, because he is the cheapest and has the least famous name. That would be the wrong answer.

Our take: make Marchenko earn it back

Marchenko was productive before he got hurt, including a hat trick against Buffalo on Oct. 15, and he is the long-term piece; his six-year extension starts next season. But a player returning from a lower-body injury does not walk back onto the top line ahead of a winger with 15 points in 15 games. Hiller has described Roslovic as an everyday player for this team, according to reports. Treat him like one.

The better use of a healthy Marchenko is on the second line with Tavares, the pairing Hiller had together before both got hurt, and Nylander can drive a line of his own. That leaves Roslovic with Matthews, where the results are, and pushes the lineup crunch down to the bottom six, where a team can absorb it.

There is a real risk in this take, and it is fair to name it. Roslovic has been streaky his whole career, and plenty of wingers have looked great next to Matthews for a month. If his shooting cools and his line starts bleeding chances, Hiller should move him. The point is that the burden of proof sits with whoever wants his spot, not with Roslovic.

Why the Jack Roslovic contract is the real win

Production is only half of it. The other half is price. At $4 million, Roslovic takes up about 3.8 per cent of a $104 million cap, and the deal runs only through 2027-28, when he will be 31. Toronto is not paying for decline years, and it is not locked into a long bet on a player with a streaky history.

Compare that with what top-line wingers cost on the open market. Nylander, Toronto's other top-six right winger, counts $11.5 million. Kucherov, the most talked-about winger in the league, carries a $9.5 million hit and reportedly wants far more on his next deal. Roslovic is giving the Leafs top-line minutes and top-line points for less than half of either.

That matters because Toronto has almost no room. Activating Dakota Joshua from long-term injured reserve this week required moving Miles Wood to LTIR to make the money fit. A team that tight on the cap has to get surplus value somewhere, and right now Roslovic is the clearest example on the roster.

What this means for the trade market

There is a bigger reason Roslovic matters. The loudest trade conversation in hockey right now is Nikita Kucherov's request out of Tampa Bay, and some Leafs fans want John Chayka in on it. We argued in our Kucherov trade column that Toronto's problem is goals against, not goals for.

Roslovic is Exhibit A. The Leafs found a top-line scoring winger for $4 million in free agency. They do not need to spend premium assets on another one. Every pick and prospect in Chayka's pocket should go toward a top-four defenceman, and a $4 million winger who produces like a top-line player is what gives him room to do it.

What's next

Roslovic and the Leafs close their western trip in Vancouver on Saturday, Oct. 31, then return home to face the Utah Mammoth on Tuesday, Nov. 3. Marchenko's week-to-week tag means the lineup question could come up within a couple of weeks.

Until then, the instruction to Hiller is short: leave it alone. You can track Roslovic's numbers alongside the rest of the roster on our Leafs players page, and his contract on the contracts page.
