Rielly did not play in Toronto's previous game due to a lower-body concern, but he will return to the lineup, likely occupying his familiar spot on the team's top powerplay unit, on Tuesday against the Boston Bruins. The 32-year-old defenseman has 33 points (9G / 24A) in 67 games this season, but only has two pints (2G / 0A) in his last 14 games.
