Toronto Maple Leafs right wing Ondrej Kase (concussion) will be back in the lineup for Monday's playoff opener against Tampa Bay. He's expected to line up on the second line with John Tavares and Ilya Mikheyev. Kase skated in only 50 games during the regular season and has been out since Mar. 19. He had a fine campaign in limited minutes with 14 goals and 27 points. Kase produced a two-goal performance in his last appearance against the Lightning and skating with Tavares certainly puts him in a very good spot to keep making an impact offensively. Toronto needs some extra oomph in attack with Michael Bunting (undisclosed) out for Game 1.
Ondrej Kase Exits Saturday's Contest Early With A Head Injury
Toronto Maple Leafs right wing Ondrej Kase was forced to end his game against Nashville early on Saturday after he received an elbow to the head. The incident occurred early in the second period and Kase ended up logging only 6:22 of ice time. The Czech winger had entered the matchup with a three-game goal streak and sits on 27 points for the season. He's been skating on the second line lately and Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe is now forced to look for attentive options. The team noted that Kase's exit was for precautionary reasons, but he's suffered a number of concussions and it appears unlikely that he can make a quick return.

Kase suffered the injury last Saturday and did not appear in the following three games throughout this week.

Kase was wearing a blue practice jersey on Monday while skating on the Maple Leafs top line, alongside center Auston Matthews and winger Michael Bunting. The 26-year-old had a very productive month of December with seven points in six games and has spent the majority of the season on the third line, with eight goals and a total of 16 points through 28 games. Kase is on the radar in deep fantasy formats until forward Mitchell Marner (COVID-19 protocols) is ready to return to the lineup.

David Kampf and Nick Ritchie collected the assists on the play. Toronto's third line has worked well lately, and it helped Kase to a four-game point streak, which ended a couple of games ago.

He's a third-liner in Toronto with David Kampf and Alexander Kerfoot. Kase has shown some good production in his career, but he's been off the radar in recent years and skated in only three NHL games for the Bruins last season. The Czech winger is pointless with 11 shots through his first four outings with Toronto.
Boston Bruins forward Ondrej Kase is expected to suit up as his team faces off against the visiting New York Islanders on Monday. The 25-year-old, who has only played two games this season, has been sidelined since mid-January due to an upper-body injury.

He'll start off in the team's bottom-six forward group on Monday, expected to line up next to forwards Jake DeBrusk and Curtis Lazar.
