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.
