Toronto Maple Leafs left wing Max Pacioretty is expected to enter the lineup on Thursday against the Ottawa Senators. He has sat out the first two games of the series as a healthy scratch. Pacioretty missed the end of the regular season due to an undisclosed injury. The Maple Leafs last had the veteran forward in the lineup on Feb. 8, so Pacioretty will likely have quite a bit of rust on him Thursday night. Pacioretty made 37 regular-season appearances, scoring five goals and 13 points. He is set to take on a third-line role, skating with Max Domi and Bobby McMann.

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.
