John-Michael Liles News
Liles has missed the last two games with what was originally called an 'upper-body' injury. Hurricanes head coach Kirk Mueller told reporters today that Liles is dealing with a concussion and there is no timetable for his return. Liles has one goal and three assists with a plus-9 rating in 22 games since being traded to the Hurricanes.
Liles will miss his second straight game after getting injured on Friday vs. the Rangers. He is listed as day-to-day, so he could be back along with Justin Faulk on Thursday.
Liles suffered a lower-body injury late in Friday's game. He had three shots and an EVEN rating in 18:54 TOI. Monitor his status near the 6 p.m EST puck-drop.
Liles will be paired with rookie Ryan Murphy and will also play the point on their first power-play unit. Liles is a solid offensive defenseman who has more value with his new club than he did with the Maple Leafs. He should see regular minutes and ample power-play time.
Liles still has some offensive potential and the Canes desperately needed a puck moving defenseman. This could end up being a good situation for Liles and the Canes.
Liles has not appeared in a game with the Leafs this season but has three goals and 10 assists in 16 games with the Marlies (AHL).
Liles was originally recalled by the Leafs on October 28, but did not play in any games. He has played eight games for the Marlies this season collecting five points on one goal and four assists, while recording eight minutes in penalties.
Liles was recalled by the Maple Leafs on Monday to accompany them on their three game road trip. The Maple Leafs will roll with the same six defensemen as they used on Saturday. Liles had a goal and four assists in eight games with the Marlies.
The Maple Leafs are getting set for a three-game western Canadian road trip, so Liles has been recalled to be the Maple Leafs seventh defenseman on the trip. Liles has one goal and four assists in eight games with the Marlies.
Liles looked like the odd man out on the blue-line during the pre-season, something that became even more clear after Cody Franson signed. If he's not claimed by another NHL team, Liles could be assigned to the AHL's Toronto Marlies.
With Mark Fraser out with fractures to his head Liles will return to the Maple Leafs blueline.
Liles was a healthy scratch last night but will be back in the lineup tonight. He has two goals and eight assists in 30 games this season.
If you have Liles get him out of your lineup. He will be replaced by Mike Kostka.
Liles has just 1 assist and a minus-2 in his last seven games.
Liles missed the Maple Leafs last two games with a sprained ankle. He will play alongside Kostka.
The is no word on whether or not Liles will return to the Maple Leafs lineup tonight. He is available and will likely replace Mike Kostka if he plays. Expect this to be decided during warmups.
Liles was hurt in hard collision in yesterday's game vs. Boston. His foot and ankle got pinned in between the boards and a Boston player. The ankle sprain could sideline him for at least a week.
Liles has been a healthy scratch in the Maple Leafs last 12 games but he will draw back into the lineup tonight in place of Mike Kostka. He will likely play alongside Carl Gunnarsson on the Leafs second pair. He has one goal and five assists in 15 games this season.
Liles is taking warmups after missing practice indicating that he could play tonight. The offensive defender has four goals and 22 points in 49 games.
