Anthony Stolarz To Miss 4-6 Weeks Following Knee Surgery

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Anthony Stolarz (knee) will miss 4-6 weeks of action. He has already been absent for a couple of games after getting hurt in a contest against Anaheim last week. Maple Leafs general manager Brad Treliving revealed on Tuesday that an MRI showed no structural damage for Stolarz, but he has a "loose body" in his knee, which needs to be removed. Stolarz has landed on the shelf as the NHL's leader in save percentage with .927. He carries a 9-5-2 record with a 2.15 goals-against average and one shutout. We should see a lot of Joseph Woll in the Maple Leafs crease in the next few weeks, with Dennis Hildeby working as his backup.

John Tavares Scores Natural Hat Trick Against Sabres

Toronto Maple Leafs center John Tavares had a fun night against the Sabres on Sunday, logging a hat trick in a 5-3 victory. He posted his first natural hat trick as a member of the Maple Leafs, turning a 3-2 deficit into a win for the team. Tavares began his heroics with a power-play goal 12:41 into the second period. He then potted an even-strength goal 1:10 later and went on to complete his hat trick with an empty-net goal with 2:12 remaining in regulation. Tavares' 14th career hat trick took him to 28 points for the season. He's had 15 goals and 13 assists across 30 outings. The veteran star has been fairly inconsistent with his offensive output this month, but Tavares is on track for a good bounce-back year after settling for 65 points in 2023-24.

Anthony Stolarz Placed On Injured Reserve

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Anthony Stolarz (lower body) was placed on Injured Reserve on Sunday. He was hurt in a contest against Anaheim this week and will now be ineligible until Dec. 20. Joseph Woll looks set for a heavy workload during Stolarz's absence in the Maple Leafs crease, with Dennis Hildeby working as his backup. Woll has been a strong fantasy option the entire campaign, posting an 8-4-0 record with the Maple Leafs. He has allowed 2.24 goals with a .918 save percentage and one shutout.

Anthony Stolarz Day-To-Day With A Lower-Body Injury

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Anthony Stolarz (lower body) has been labeled as day-to-day. The 30-year-old sustained a lower-body injury in Thursday's 3-2 win against Anaheim. Stolarz has been solid for the Maple Leafs this season, going 9-5-2 in 17 starts and allowing 2.15 goals with a .927 save percentage and one shutout. The timing of his injury is bad because the Maple Leafs face a back-to-back over the weekend. Dennis Hildeby has been brought up from the AHL to prove cover for Joseph Woll, who might start both of the upcoming games. Woll, who replaced Stolarz in the second period on Thursday, has impressed with an 8-3-0 record this campaign. He's recorded one shutout while allowing 2.16 goals with a .921 save percentage.

Jake McCabe Available On Thursday

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Jake McCabe (upper body) is ready to rejoin the action on Thursday against Anaheim. Following a five-game absence, he has been activated from Injured Reserve. McCabe sits second on the team with 46 blocks and has delivered 52 hits in 23 games, but he's made very little impact offensively. The 31-year-old has five points with zero goals scored, going scoreless in 11 consecutive appearances. Philippe Myers will come out of the lineup to make room for McCabe.

Max Domi Ready To Rejoin Action Tuesday

Toronto Maple Leafs forward Max Domi (lower body) has been activated from Injured Reserve and is expected to return to the lineup on Tuesday against New Jersey. Domi has been sidelined for eight games with a lower-body injury. It's been an unproductive campaign for Domi, as he's sitting on zero goals and six assists through 19 appearances despite having seen regular action in a top-six role. The 29-year-old is projected to re-enter the lineup as a member of the third line, which further limits his fantasy appeal.

Max Pacioretty Back In Action Saturday

Toronto Maple Leafs left wing Max Pacioretty (lower body) will end a 10-game absence in Saturday's matchup against Pittsburgh. He's set to replace Nikita Grebenkin in the lineup. Pacioretty saw top-six action before being taken out by a lower-body injury on Nov. 9. However, he might return on Saturday in a smaller role. The veteran has not been very successful with the Maple Leafs, recording six points (two goals, four assists) in 13 outings. Four of his points came in two games at the end of October.

Anthony Stolarz Expected To Start On Friday

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Anthony Stolarz is the team's projected starter for Friday's tilt against Washington. The Maple Leafs close out the week with a back-to-back, and Stolarz is set to handle the first leg. Joseph Woll will likely be between the sticks in Saturday's matchup against Pittsburgh. Stolarz already boasts one win from this week, having beaten Chicago 4-1 with 27 saves on Monday. He's flipped between wins and losses over his last five starts. Despite his recent inconsistency, Stolarz is sporting a good 8-4-2 record. He has allowed 2.23 goals with a fantastic .924 save percentage and one shutout. Stolarz is expected to boost his wins total on Friday, as the Capitals head to Toronto without Alex Ovechkin (lower leg) and are +125 underdogs for the clash.

Auston Matthews Strikes Twice Against Predators

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews helped the team defeat Nashville 3-2 with a two-goal effort on Wednesday. He scored twice inside two minutes at the start of the second period to put Toronto up 2-1. Matthews recorded his 34th career multi-goal period, which is only one short of Jeremy Roenick's record among U.S.-born players. After missing nine games because of an upper-body injury, the Maple Leafs star has started to make up for lost time. In three outings since returning to the lineup, Matthews has posted three goals and two assists. He's now up to 16 points (eight goals, eight assists) for the campaign with the same number of games played.

Jake McCabe Misses Second Straight Game On Wednesday

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Jake McCabe (upper body) will remain sidelined on Wednesday against Nashville. McCabe missed his first game of the season on Monday versus Chicago after a puck hit him in the side of the head in Saturday's matchup against Tampa Bay. Philippe Myers stepped into the lineup as McCabe's replacement. Myers performed well in Monday's 4-1 win, as he recorded an assist with four shots, one block, and seven hits, but fantasy managers should not expect a repeat of the performance on Wednesday. Myers hasn't previously been productive at this level.

Mitchell Marner Collects Two Assists Versus Blackhawks

Toronto Maple Leafs right wing Mitch Marner recorded two assists in Monday's 4-1 victory against Chicago. He was among the helpers on John Tavares's game-winning goal and picked up another assist on Matthew Knies' empty-netter. Incredibly, this was Marner's ninth multi-point outing in his past 11 appearances. He's been the Maple Leafs' biggest offensive threat this season, sitting tied for fifth in the league with 24 assists and collecting 33 points overall in 24 games. Barring any health issues, we should see Marner hit the 100-point mark for the first time in his career.

Jake McCabe Out On Monday

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Jake McCabe (upper body) will miss Monday's contest against Chicago. The 31-year-old was hit up high by a puck in Saturday's 5-3 win over Tampa Bay and will sit out Monday's game for precautionary reasons. McCabe comes out of the lineup for the first time this season. He's been quietly effective for the Maple Leafs, registering a team-best plus-11 rating across 23 games, with five assists, 20 shots, 46 blocks, and 52 hits. Philippe Myers will step into the lineup as McCabe's replacement, making only his second appearance of the season. Myers has notched 36 points (eight goals, 28 assists) in 159 career outings in the NHL.

Auston Matthews Tallies Two Assists In Return

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews tallied two helpers in his return on Saturday evening. The captain missed the previous nine contests with an upper-body injury. However, the superstar looked sharp in his return, tallying two points to lead Toronto to victory. His first assist came on the opening goal by Matthew Knies. Later in the third, Matthews would register the primary assist on William Nylander's empty-net goal to clinch the victory. Before his injury, Matthews tallied five goals and six helpers across 13 games with four power-play points. Fantasy managers should expect the former top overall pick to remain a fantasy star for the remainder of the season, especially from a scoring standpoint, playing on the top unit alongside Matthew Knies and William Nylander.

Matthew Knies Rejoins Maple Leafs Lineup Saturday

Toronto Maple Leafs left wing Matthew Knies (upper body) will return from a two-game absence on Saturday against Tampa Bay. He's set to land on the top line and the first power-play unit. In 20 contests, Knies has contributed eight goals and four assists while averaging 2.4 hits. Toronto also welcomes Auston Matthews (upper body) back on Saturday, giving the team a lot more firepower. Knies and Matthews will be joined on the first line by William Nylander, who has been on a hot streak lately with three multi-point performances in five games.

Auston Matthews To Return To Maple Leafs Lineup Saturday

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews (upper body) will return to the lineup on Saturday versus Tampa Bay. The three-time Rocket Richard Trophy winner has been out for nine games but feels now ready to return. "In my mind, I'm playing tomorrow and I'm excited to be back," Matthews said. "I didn't forget how to play hockey over the last three weeks but obviously there's going to be a little bit of rust and a little bit of excitement to be back and playing again." Matthews, who sits on five goals and six assists with 13 games played, is expected to team up with Matthew Knies and William Nylander on the top line Saturday.

Bobby McMann  • C  •  Maple Leafs

Bobby McMann Considered Day-To-Day Following Wednesday's Exit

Toronto Maple Leafs left wing Bobby McMann (lower body) is considered day-to-day. McCann suffered a lower-body injury in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to Florida, exiting after logging 10:21 of ice time. The team plans to evaluate McCann further on Thursday to determine the full severity of his injury. McMann has worked as a first-line winger lately for an injury-hit Toronto squad. Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube hopes to get some players back for Saturday's game against Florida, which might result in a demotion in the lineup for McMann if he doesn't have to miss additional time. The 28-year-old has recorded six goals and seven points in 21 outings this campaign.

Auston Matthews Remains Out On Wednesday

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews (upper body) will miss a ninth consecutive game on Wednesday versus Florida. Matthews returned to full practice on Tuesday, and there was a chance he might be ready to re-enter the lineup. However, he will end up sitting out one more game. It's likely Matthews will be back in action on Saturday against Tampa Bay. The injury-hit Maple Leafs will continue to use Pontus Holmberg as the second-line center against the Panthers. Nicholas Robertson and Bobby McCann also currently hold top-six roles.

Auston Matthews Could Be Ready For Action On Wednesday

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews (upper body) might return to the lineup on Wednesday against Florida. After missing eight games with an upper-body injury, Matthews came through his first full practice on Tuesday. "I felt pretty good, so we will just take it step by step," the star forward said following practice. "I don't know, we'll see. I'll get with the training staff and chat some more. The individual skates are much different than a team practice, so this being the first actual team practice I skated in, I felt really good." Matthews worked on a line with Pontus Holmberg and William Nylander. He would make a timely return to help a team affected by injuries. Max Domi (lower body) has been ruled out for at least two more games, with Matthew Knies (upper body), David Kampf (lower body), Max Pacioretty (lower body), and Calle Jarnkrok (groin) also on the shelf.

William Nylander Enjoys Another Multi-Point Outing

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander recorded a power-play assist and the game-winning goal in Sunday's 3-2 victory over Utah. Toronto fell behind to a Logan Cooley power-play goal, but prolific work from Nylander and Mitchell Marner eventually led the Maple Leafs to another win. Incredibly, the team has gone 7-1-0 with Auston Matthews (upper body) out of the lineup. Nylander has had a great month with 12 points (six goals, six assists) in 10 games and finds himself among the league's top goal-scorers. With 21 games played, Nylander has lit the lamp 14 times, adding 10 assists.

Mitchell Marner Extends Multi-Point Streak With Pair Of Goals

Toronto Maple Leafs right wing Mitchell Marner kept his multi-point streak going with a two-goal effort in Sunday's 3-2 victory over Utah. He lit the lamp in the second period, with Marner's second goal of the night coming on the power play. Overall, Marner has recorded seven multi-point outings in his last eight appearances. He's really stepped up it during Auston Matthews' (upper body) absence. Matthews might be back for the next game, but we should continue to see Marner in top form. He has totaled 28 points (eight goals, 20 assists) in 21 games this season.
