William Nylander Tallies Four Points On Tuesday

Toronto Maple Leafs right wing William Nylander tallied four points during his victory over the Philadelphia Flyers. In the opening frame, Nylander would tally the primary assist on John Tavares' goal and find the back of the net himself, on the power play. In the second, Nylander would tack on the secondary assist on Bobby McMann's 20th goal of the season and score his second goal of the evening as well, this time during 5-on-5 play. He logged four total shots on goal and added a hit in this contest. Since the start of March (12 games), Nylander has scored six goals and added 12 points. He has only been held off the scoresheet twice over this span and has posted five multi-point showings. He remains a must-start forward heading into his next matchup on Thursday evening against the San Jose Sharks.

Auston Matthews Extends Goal Streak To Three Games

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews scored in his third-straight contest on Wednesday evening against the Colorado Avalanche.

Joseph Woll Stands Tall Against Colorado

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll stopped 38 of the 39 shots he saw en route to defeating the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday evening.

Woll would then stop all 11 shots he saw in the final frame to seal the victory. This outing extended his winning streak to three contests. During this stretch, the 26-year-old has held an impressive 1.95 GAA with a .939 save percentage. Before this recent surge, Woll carried a much higher 3.73 GAA with a .871 save percentage.

Joseph Woll Starts First Leg Of Back-To-Back Wednesday

For the season, Woll holds a 23-12-0 record with a 2.76 goals-against average, a .905 save percentage, and one shutout. On Wednesday, Woll faces a challenging test against the NHL's leading scorer, Nathan MacKinnon, and Colorado's high-octane offense.

Joseph Woll Starting On Monday

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll will get the starting nod on Monday evening against the Calgary Flames. Anthony Stolarz has gotten the nod in each of the previous two contests. In Woll's last start, he picked up a victory and allowed three goals on 33 shots. Over his previous four games, Woll has held a 3-1 record with an underwhelming .871 save percentage with a 3.90 GAA. However, before this stretch, the 26-year-old held a strong 2.61 GAA with a .915 save percentage over his last seven games. Fantasy managers should view Woll as a top option in DFS, facing a Calgary offense that has struggled to generate consistent offensive opportunities. Stolarz will likely get the nod in their next contest on Wednesday against the Colorado Avalanche.

Scott Laughton Lands In Toronto

Veteran forward Scott Laughton was traded by the Philadelphia Flyers to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Friday. The Maple Leafs gave up forward Nikita Grebenkin and a first-round draft pick for Laughton, a four-round pick, and a sixth-round pick. Laughton, a native of Oakville, Ontario, has so far played exclusively with the Flyers in the NHL, recording 106 goals and 265 points over 661 games. His haul this season includes 11 goals and 16 assists in 60 games. Laughton will likely slot into the third line on his new team and is not expected to make a big impact offensively.

Steven Lorentz Back In Action Wednesday

Toronto Maple Leafs forward Steven Lorentz (undisclosed) will rejoin the lineup on Wednesday against the Vegas Golden Knights. He will link up with David Kampf and Calle Jarnkrok on the fourth line. Lorentz has had a limited role with the Maple Leafs, averaging 10:25 of ice time, but he has been impactful. In 59 outings, Lorentz has chipped in with five goals and nine assists while handing out 148 hits. Two of his goals have been game-winning markers. Connor Dewar will head to the press box to make room for Lorentz.

Calle Jarnkrok Ready For Season Debut

Toronto Maple Leafs forward Calle Jarnkrok (groin) has been activated from long-term Injured Reserve, which paves the way for him to make his season debut on Monday versus the San Jose Sharks. Jarnkrok has not seen any action in 2024-25 after having groin and sports hernia surgery in November. If he can replicate his form from last year, the Maple Leafs would gain a good addition to their forwards group. In 2023-24, Jarnkrok tallied 10 goals and 21 points in 52 games. The Swedish forward is set to take Ryan Reaves' spot in the lineup on Monday. Alex Steeves has been sent back to the AHL to create space for him in the lineup.

Auston Matthews Extends Point Streak To Nine Games

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews reached his season-best point streak on Sunday, extending it to nine games by logging a goal and an assist in the 6-5 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins. He potted the team's third goal and landed an assist when William Nylander scored the game-winner with a minute played in the extra frame. With his 390th career goal, Matthews broke a tie for second with Darryl Sittler on Toronto's all-time goals list. He now trails only Mats Sundin (420). Despite putting together a nine-game point streak, Matthews has been surprisingly quiet in front of the net lately, scoring only twice during the run. He has had 11 assists since starting the streak. For the season overall, the Maple Leafs superstar boasts 51 points (22 goals, 29 assists) through 45 outings.

Matthew Knies Nets Game-Winner On Friday

Toronto Maple Leafs left wing Matthew Knies scored the game-winner to lift Toronto to victory over the New York Rangers on Friday evening. Even though the Rangers dominated the shot total, Knies was able to break the stalemate in the third period when he beat New York netminder Igor Shesterkin on a wrist shot. Knies also logged one hit and blocked shot in this contest. This outing snapped Knies's four-game goal drought. During this minor slump, Knies tallied just one helper and averaged one shot on goal per game. However, before this skid, the 22-year-old tallied nine points (five goals, four helpers) with two shots on goal per game with 2.3 hits per game. Fantasy managers should continue to view Knies as a solid option in DFS as he plays alongside Mitch Marner and Auston Matthews on the top forward line.

William Nylander Good To Go Friday

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander (undisclosed) will be in the lineup on Friday against the New York Rangers. Nylander didn't hit the ice during overtime in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Boston Bruins and sat out Wednesday's practice. However, the Swedish star was back on the ice Friday morning and will play against the Rangers. Nylander leads the Maple Leafs with 33 goals and has amassed 58 points in as many games. He has notched three assists in three outings since returning from the 4 Nations Face-Off. On Friday, Nylander is expected to remain on the second line with John Tavares and Pontus Holmberg.

Joseph Woll Battling Illness; Anthony Stolarz Expected To Start

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll (illness) is under the weather ahead of Friday's contest against the New York Rangers. As a result, Anthony Stolarz was in the starter's crease during practice and is expected to draw his second straight start. Since Stolarz has returned from long-term injured reserve, the Leafs have opted to rotate their goalies. However, with Woll under the weather, Stolarz will get the nod for the second-straight outing. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Woll's status leading up to their next contest on Sunday as he could be cleared to face the Penguins. Since returning from injury, Stolarz has held a stellar 3-0 record with a .918 save percentage, with a 2.62 GAA. With Adam Fox (upper body) on injured reserve and several New York forwards viewed as game-time decisions, Stolarz is a solid option in DFS competitions this evening.

Max Pacioretty Placed On Injured Reserve

Toronto Maple Leafs left wing Max Pacioretty (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve earlier on Friday. In a corresponding move, the Leafs recalled defenseman Marshall Rifai from the AHL. Since this move to the IR is retroactive to February 8, Pacioretty is eligible to return after Friday's contest. Fantasy managers should monitor his status leading up to their next game on Sunday evening against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Over his previous five contests, Pacioretty has tallied one point (one helper) with a +0 rating, 13 shots on goal and 16 hits. Across 37 games played, the 36-year-old has found the back of the net five times and added eight helpers. While Pacioretty remains sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Pontus Holmberg to continue to play on the second offensive line.

William Nylander Exits Early On Tuesday

Toronto Maple Leafs right wing William Nylander (undisclosed) did not participate in Tuesday's overtime with an apparent injury. Head coach Craig Berube said in the postgame that "something was bothering him," which kept him sidelined. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his status leading up to their next contest on Friday evening against the New York Rangers. Before exiting early, Nylander tallied one shot on goal with a hit. He did not get on the scoresheet. Before this contest, the 28-year-old tallied eight points (five goals, three helpers) over his previous seven contests. Through 58 total games, he has found the back of the net 33 times and added 28 helpers. If he were to miss time, fantasy managers should expect Nicholas Robertson to move up to the second line.

Max Pacioretty Ruled Out On Tuesday

Toronto Maple Leafs left wing Max Pacioretty (undisclosed) will remain sidelined on Tuesday evening when the Leafs face the Boston Bruins. Pacioretty has missed their previous two contests due to this injury and could face an extended absence. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their next contest on Friday evening against the New York Rangers. As a result, Alex Steeves will remain in the starting lineup and play on the fourth line. Throughout his time in Toronto this season, Pacioretty has played primarily in the middle-six role but has occasionally seen time on the second line. Through 37 games, the 36-year-old has scored five goals and added eight helpers. When he does return, he will only carry value in deeper formats.
