Rielly underwent a CT scan on Monday and it revealed a fractured foot, that will sideline the Maple Leafs’ defenseman for at least two months. This is a huge blow for a Toronto team, that is already without Jake Muzzin with the same type of injury. Rasmus Sandin was called up from the Toronto Marlies (AHL) this morning to replace Rielly moving forward.
Morgan Rielly News
Rielly will miss his second straight game with an upper-body injury, so Connor Carrick and Jake Gardiner will continue to patrol the Maple Leafs’ power-play units. Rielly remains day-to-day and questionable for Wednesday’s game in Chicago.
Rielly missed his sixth consecutive game on Tuesday despite taking part in the morning skate and he was on the ice again this afternoon. Rielly skated with Frankie Corrado as an extra, but remains a game-time decision so check his status when the Maple Leafs hit the ice for warmups.
Rielly will miss his sixth straight game with a lower-body injury. He took part in Monday’s practice and Tuesday’s morning skate, so it looked like he was going to play, but his return won’t come until Thursday at the earliest.
Rielly missed the final five games before the All-Star break, but was on the ice for today’s practice and should be in the lineup tomorrow. Rielly didn’t confirm that he will play, so monitor his status during tomorrow’s morning skate, but all signs are pointing towards the Maple Leafs getting their No.1 defenseman back.
Rielly will miss his fourth consecutive game with a lower-body injury and it seems likely that he won’t play Thursday either, so don’t expect to see Rielly until after the ALl-Star break.
Rielly skated on Monday morning, but will miss his third straight game with a lower-body injury. Head coach Mike Babcock said he doesn’t know if Rielly will play before the All-Star break, so consider him as doubtful for Wednesday’s game in Detroit.
Rielly skated by himself on Friday, but is not ready to play on Saturday. Rielly will remains day-to-day and will be replaced by Martin Marincin instead of Frank Corrado on Saturday night.
Rielly left Tuesday’s game with a lower-body injury after crashing into the boards and retired to the dressing room after playing just 2:57 TOI. Rielly is day-to-day and will not play Thursday, which means that Frank Corrado will draw into the lineup for the second time this season.
Rielly was given the morning off in New Jersey, but will be in the lineup vs. the Devils. Rielly has had a solid season, picking up 17 points (1G / 16A) across 37 games. Rielly is on-pace for a career-high 186 shots and his 1.2 shooting percentage should improve and he will start finding the back of the net with more regularity.
Rielly appeared in all 82 games this season, picking up nine goals and 27 assists (36 points). In his first three NHL seasons, Rielly has collected 19 goals and 73 assists (92 points) and a minus-46 rating in 236 career games. Rielly will be the backbone of the Maple Leafs' blueline for years to come.
Rielly limped off of the ice at practice on Wednesday, but said following the skate that he is "fine" and left "only as a precaution". The young blueliner is coming off of his best game of the season---he had two assists, plus-1 rating and six shots in 22:27 vs. the Sabres on Tuesday.
Rielly has been a healthy scratch in three of the last four games but draws back in tonight vs. the Islanders. In his first 15 NHL games Rielly has six assists and a minus-4 rating. He has a bright future ahead of him, but is not fantasy relevant yet.
Rielly figured to be a healthy scratch tonight with Mark Fraser returning tonight, but Colton Orr will not dress because of an injury so Rielly will dress as the Maple Leafs seventh defenseman.
Rielly has been solid posting five assists in 13 games, but he is still only 19-years-old and has tons of room to grow. He will sit tonight, but I don't think he will sit for too many consecutive games.
