They play one game in Wpg, then come home for 2 against Van, then 5 days off, then 2 more at home to Tor. Their 2nd road game isn't until the 28th in Mtl. So they can run with a 20, or 21 man roster throughout that, and create some wiggle room for themselves.

The taxi squad can practice and travel with the team and players can be activated up until 5:00pm ET any day, so it's basically like having a 26 man roster.
Every player that cleared waivers today can spend up to 30 days or 10 games played in the NHL before requiring waivers again. Ryan could play every game of the season and not require waivers again until February 5. If he played 2 out of every 3 games, it would be February 16. That's over 25% of the season.
