Morgan Rielly Fantasy Stats

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly (undisclosed) will return to the lineup for Saturday's tilt against the Buffalo Sabres. Toronto gets back its No. 1 defenseman after Rielly sat out Friday's matchup against the Sabres with an unspecified health issue. While the Maple Leafs have struggled so far this season, Rielly will be happy with his contributions. The 2024 All-Star has amassed six points (two goals, four assists) in seven outings. Rielly's return will bump Oliver Ekman-Larsson down from the first power-play unit.

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Friday's contest against the Buffalo Sabres. He was on the ice for an optional skate on Friday morning, but Rielly won't be ready to play due to an undisclosed injury. His absence will greatly impact the Maple Leafs, as Rielly is among the top-scoring defensemen in the league this season with six points (two goals, four assists) in seven games. From a fantasy perspective, Oliver Ekman-Larsson stands to benefit the most from Rielly's absence, as he is set to assume his position on the first power-play unit. Philippe Myers is expected to fill the gap in the lineup.

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly (undisclosed) sat out practice on Thursday and may have to miss his first action of the season on Friday night against the Buffalo Sabres. Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube told reporters that Rielly is "dealing with something." At the start of the season, Rielly has been hot with six points (two goals, four assists) in seven games. The Maple Leafs have just lost Chris Tanev (upper body) from the lineup, and Rielly's absence would be a further blow for the defense. Dakota Mermis and Philippe Myers could make their season debuts on Friday, while Oliver Ekman-Larsson is poised to take over Rielly's duties on the first power-play unit if he can't play.

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly helped to set up two goals in Wednesday's 4-3 victory over the Florida Panthers. He collected a power-play assist on a Max Pacioretty goal late in the first period and made it a multi-assist game for himself by helping Max Domi score in the second frame. This marked Rielly's seventh career multi-assist game in the postseason, placing him second in franchise history, with only Borje Salming (9) achieving more. Rielly is also closing in on Salming in the scoring charts, needing just four more points to become Toronto's all-time leader in playoff scoring among defensemen. With the Maple Leafs now 2-0 up against Florida, Rielly will get plenty of chances to reach the historic mark this year. He has recorded six points (three goals, three assists), 14 shots, and 20 blocks in eight games during the postseason.

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly (upper body) appears ready to return for the team's game on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Rielly has missed four games while nursing an upper-body injury, but head coach Sheldon Keefe said that he expects the defender to be ready to play on Wednesday. Rielly has 51 points (seven goals, 44 assists) in 65 games from the back end and would be a big final-week addition to fantasy teams that are stashing him on IR. He should regain top powerplay duties upon his return.

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly (upper body) will miss his fourth straight game Monday when the team takes on the Florida Panthers, although he did participate in the morning skate on Monday. The veteran is dealing with an upper-body injury and last played on March 24 in a 2-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes. "He's day-to-day," Toronto head coach Sheldon Keefe said. "Today I think was his first time on the ice coming through this, so he will be day-to-day from here. But he's close to 100 percent here now." The veteran is in the midst of a nice season, his 11th in the NHL, as he has tallied seven goals and 51 points across 65 games on the season, adding 90 hits, 122 blocks, and a plus-eight rating to his ledger.

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly was absent from Friday's practice due to an upper-body injury and has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against the Buffalo Sabres. Rielly didn't play Thursday night when the Leafs defeated the Washington Capitals by a 5-1 score. He remains listed as day to day. The 30-year-old is in the midst of a fine season, his 11th in the NHL, with seven goals and 51 points across 65 games while logging 23:49 of ice time per game. He has also added 90 hits and 122 blocked shots to his ledger. The Maple Leafs enter Saturday's contest with a 41-22-9 record, good for third in the Atlantic Division, although the Tampa Bay Lightning have closed within four points with the same number of games played.

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly has served his five-game suspension and will be available to rejoin the lineup Thursday versus the Golden Knights. Impressively, Toronto won all five games without Rielly. His return should give a further boost to the red-hot team. The first-year All-Star has been in fantastic form all season, logging 43 points (seven goals, 38 assists) in 50 games. Rielly's return will bump Timothy Liljegren down from the first defensive pairing.

NHL commissioner Gary Bettman has upheld Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly's five-game suspension for cross-checking Ottawa Senators forward Ridly Greig. Rielly was suspended for five games on Feb. 13, but the NHL Players' Association appealed the suspension on his part. The NHLPA claimed it to be excessive, considering Rielly had never been suspended before during his 11-year NHL career. Rielly, who has notched 43 points (seven goals, 36 assists) in 50 outings this season, has already sat out four contests and will serve the final game of his suspension on Wednesday versus Arizona.

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly has been suspended for five games for a cross-check to the head of Ottawa forward Ridly Greig in Saturday's 5-3 loss. Reilly cross-checked Graig with 5.1 seconds remaining in the game after the Senators player had fired a slap shot into an empty net. The 2024 All-Star served the first game of his suspension on Tuesday versus St. Louis. He will be eligible to return to action on Feb. 22 versus Vegas. Jake McCabe had nearly three minutes of power-play time without Rielly on Tuesday, while Timothy Liljegren took Rielly's spot on the first defensive pairing next to T.J. Brodie. The latter lead the Maple Leafs blue line in ice time with 23:41.

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly factored in three goals for the first time this season as the team closed out the Global Series on Sunday with a 4-3 overtime victory versus Minnesota. Rielly had the team's third goal and posted a pair of assists, including one on William Nylander's game-winner. Following a quiet opening to the campaign, Rielly has started to pick up speed, boosting his points total to 15 by averaging a point per game in eight November outings. His 12 assists are tied for the third-most on the team, and Rielly has also scored three goals in 17 appearances.

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly had a historic outing Thursday against Florida, setting a new franchise record with an eight-game postseason point streak. He got there with an assist on an early Alexander Kerfoot goal. Rielly led all skaters in ice time with 26:30 in the 3-2 loss, and he added one shot on goal and three hits to his tally. The team has started the second-round series poorly, but it's been a great postseason for Rielly, who has notched three goals and seven assists in eight games with a plus-nine rating. No Maple Leafs defenseman has managed more points in the first eight games of a single postseason.

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly tied a franchise record for most assists in a playoff game Thursday against Tampa Bay when he had four helpers in a 7-2 victory. He needed only 47 seconds of action to grab his first assist and already had three of them on board before the first intermission. Doug Gilmour was the last Maple Leafs player with four assists in a playoff game 29 years ago. Rielly has never tallied more than six points in one playoff campaign, but his Thursday's performance has given the 29-year-old a good chance to set a new career-high in 2023.

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly won't feature Saturday against Montreal for rest purposes. The Maple Leafs have been resting players regularly over the final few weeks of the regular season and it's Rielly's turn to sit on Saturday, along with T.J. Brodie. Timothy Liljegren and Erik Gustafsson will be drafted into the lineup. The latter is getting his first taste of action since March 23 and should aim to make a big impact, especially with Gustafsson getting a chance to fill in for Rielly on the first power-play unit.

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly was finally able to celebrate a goal in Sunday's 5-1 win over Washington, producing the game-winning tally 7:00 into the second period. He incredibly needed 69 shots on target to finally register his first goal of the season. Rielly has never been a prolific goal-scorer, but his career shooting percentage is near five percent and he really should have had a goal by now. The lack of goals has left Rielly averaging 0.60 points per game, which is above his career average, but the 28-year-old grabbed 0.83 points per game a year ago and he hasn't lived up to his reputation in fantasy hockey. With 36 games played, Rielly has amassed 22 points in total with 40 hits and 48 blocks.

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly (knee) is set to get back to work Thursday against Arizona. He has been unavailable for over a month due to a knee problem, last skating in a game on Nov. 21. Prior to getting hurt, Rielly failed to score in his first 20 outings of the season, but he was still close to being a point-per-game player with 16 assists. The 28-year-old has averaged 23 minutes a night for the season, and whilst the team will likely take it easy with him at first, Rielly should be logging his normal minutes soon again. He has been skating with Timothy Liljegren in practice.

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly (knee) has been placed on long-term Injured Reserve after he was hurt in Monday's defeat to the Islanders. He's dealing with a left knee ailment and reports are suggesting that Rielly will be out of commission for four to six weeks. Going on the long-term Injured Reserve means that he can't return before sitting out at least 10 games and 24 days. Rielly has yet to score in 20 contests this season, but he is fourth among all defensemen with 16 assists. Toronto can't catch a break at the back and will be without another blue-liner for a long stretch. Mark Giordano and Justin Holl formed the new first defensive pairing in Tuesday's practice, while Rasmus Sandin is set to take over Rielly's spot on the first power-play unit.

The forwards can play up to 16 games total. That is the max. Once one exceeds that total, the lineup reverts to the best ball format. Also, one can swap players with a 20% fee.Auston Matthews, TOR ($11,200) - vs CHI, EDM, CGYIf one is just wants to ride the wave, Auston Matthews may just be that player for the next week. Matthews finds ways to score goals. In four games last week, the Toronto Maple Leafs' center had seven points and four goals. If one goes back further, Matthews simply has cranked up the production level.The good thing is looking at more numbers as sustainable. Matthews is only shooting at 15.2%. His career percentage was 16.5% coming into this season. He has 17 goals on a league-leading 112 shots at press time. Matthews' 12 of his 29 points have come on the man advantage including six of those being goals.Now, could Matthews approach or exceed 15 points per game? Absolutely. His salary here is a risk but Edmonton and Chicago can allows a lot of goals still. . Also, with Matthews, there are some fun options to stack with William Nylander and even Morgan Rielly.Artemi Panarin, NYR ($8,200) - vs NSH, COL, ARZ, VGKIt's been an odd sort of season for Artemi Panarin. Last week, the winger had eight points and 11 shots on goal in just three games. The expectation is his numbers should be high this week as well.Anyway, the New York Rangers play a fun and interesting brand of hockey. All four teams they play next week have the potential to exceed goal expectations. The only risk is Panarin's penchant for points. The Russian has nine goals and 22 assists in 25 games.There are some other ways to use Panarin like looking at Ryan Strome, Adam Fox, and even Filip Chytil for a fun risk.Editor's note: Wait and see who Colorado puts out as a center this weekend and week. With injuries mounting, there will be an update.OwnersBox Defensemen PicksNic Hague, VGK ($4,800) - vs MIN, BOS, NJD, NYRAnother week rolls on by and Nic Hague has a nice Week 10 schedule set up with four games in all including one each versus the New York Rangers and New Jersey Devils.Overall, Hague stands at 12 points in 25 games. He has just three goals on 60 shots but the scoring chances are increasing. It is hard to believe that he was languishing last year.Again, it is the role that helps Hague. The defenseman has 5+ shots on goal in three of his last five games. It is that volume which gets people encouraged.Please again note that several nice defensive options are out there this week. Devon Toews plays three times this week like Cale Makar and is $1,600 cheaper while enjoying about the same, overall point production. The struggle to save a little money is weird.From the cheaper bin err pricing section, Jacob Trouba and Dmitry Orlov are still out there. For those spending at the highest tier, Adam Fox is awfully hard to pass up for the high-paced New York Rangers.OwnersBox Goaltender PicksCam Talbot, MIN ($10,900) - vs VGK, CARCam Talbot is on a roll with six straight wins for the Minnesota Wild. That includes some masterful performances like the one against San Jose on Friday night.The goaltender is 15-5 in 20 starts with a sterling 2.59 goals-against-average and a solid .920 save percentage. That is far from average for a goalie who had been around a 3.00 just a few weeks ago. Talbot also has 13 quality starts on the season andHonestly, the winning streak will end eventually but the goaltender has gone on runs like this before. They often extend themselves a bit longer than any streak.Thatcher Demko, VAN ($10,500) - vs CAR, CLS, SJThe Vancouver Canucks are starting to look like a team again the past two nights.The best part is the Demko comes in at a pretty cheap price when it comes to goaltenders on OwnersBox. Demko has stopped 66 of his last 67 shots faced. At the very least, he will face a lot of shots against Carolina and Columbus. Even San Jose could easily top 30 shots on goal later next week.Another option to watch maybe to just scour for even cheaper backups who just play once. It is a cheap way to stream then play the swap fee to accumulate more points. Among the goalies that may play once. Dan Vladar may be worth it. He is also cheap and will likely draw a very good matchup. Does one risk things and try to play an Igor Shesterkin, Jacob Markstrom, or Andrei Vasilevskiy? This week might be a decent gamble. Sample LineupHere's a lineup I built using some of the players from this article and yes, this uses almost all but $900 of the $200,000 cap. This allows some later wiggle room, if needed:

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly racked up four assists in Tuesday's 5-4 victory over the Blue Jackets, adding four shots, two blocks and one hit in 22:51 of ice time. The 27-year-old now boasts four four-assist games since entering the league in 2013-14 and it's the most among all blue-liners. Rielly has 19 assists for the whole campaign and eight of them have come this month. He's on 22 points for the year, which puts him tied for the sixth spot in defensemen scoring.

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly bagged an assist on all three of the team's goals in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to Minnesota, getting to 18 points for the season. Two of Rielly's helpers came on the power play. He had four shots of his own and picked up five blocks and four penalty minutes. This was a very nice performance from the 27-year-old blue-liner after he was labeled as a game-time decision for the night. Rielly got hurt by blocking a shot in Wednesday's 8-3 loss to Colorado and skipped Friday's practice. He logged nearly 27 minutes against the Wild, so it appears that Rielly is fully healthy.
