Maple Leafs' Morgan Rielly: Ruled out through Olympic break
Rotowire
Head coach Craig Berube said Monday that Rielly (upper body) won't return until after the Olympic break, Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports.
While Berube said that Rielly still needs to be further evaluated to determine the extent of his upper-body issue, the defenseman will be sidelined Monday against Calgary and Tuesday against Edmonton. Berube indicated that Rielly's injury is a lingering ailment that he aggravated during Saturday's game against Vancouver. Rielly will have just over three weeks to recover during the Olympic break, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return when the Maple Leafs resume play.

Maple Leafs' Morgan Rielly: Lights lamp Thursday
Rotowire
Rielly scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.
Rielly ended a six-game point drought with the goal, which was his first tally since Dec. 8. During his recent slump, he had a minus-3 rating and 12 shots on net. The 31-year-old Rielly can be a high-scoring blueliner, but he won't drive the offense for the Maple Leafs.

Maple Leafs' Morgan Rielly: Good to play
Rotowire
Rielly (illness) will play Thursday versus San Jose, according to Dave McCarthy of NHL.com.
Rielly was questionable after missing Wednesday's practice, but he won't miss a game due to the illness. The 31-year-old is expected to serve on the top pairing alongside Oliver Ekman-Larsson versus the Sharks. Rielly should also feature on the top power-play unit.

Maple Leafs' Morgan Rielly: Battling illness
Rotowire
Rielly (illness) won't participate in Wednesday's practice.
Rielly has five goals and 22 points in 28 outings in 2025-26. It's unclear if he'll be an option to play against San Jose on Thursday. If Rielly is out, he would join fellow defensemen Brandon Carlo (lower body), Dakota Mermis (lower body) and Chris Tanev (upper body) on the shelf. The Maple Leafs recalled Henry Thrun from AHL Toronto on Wednesday after Mermis sustained an injury in Monday's 2-0 win over Tampa Bay.

Maple Leafs' Morgan Rielly: Pots game-winner Monday
Rotowire
Reilly scored the game-winning goal in Monday's 2-0 victory over the Lightning.
Late in the first period, the veteran blueliner had his initial shot attempt from the slot interrupted by a back-checking Jake Guentzel, but Reilly stuck with the play, recovered the puck and slipped a backhand past Jonas Johansson as he fell to the ice. That proved to be all the offense Dennis Hildeby would need. Reilly hasn't gone two straight games without recording a point since the end of October, and over his last 18 games, he's piled up three goals and 16 points with 34 shots on net, 26 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating.

Maple Leafs' Morgan Rielly: Top-10 NHL offensive defender
Rotowire
Rielly delivered two assists in a 7-2 win over Pittsburgh on Saturday.
It was Rielly's first multi-point effort since Nov. 8, a span of 10 games. Still, the defender continues to put up somewhat gaudy numbers from the blue line. He has four goals, 16 assists and 46 shots on net in 24 games. That puts Rielly in a three-way tie with Lane Hutson and Oliver Ekman-Larsson for 10th in the NHL in points among defensemen.

Maple Leafs' Morgan Rielly: Strong season continues
Rotowire
Rielly notched a goal Friday in a 4-2 loss to Washington.
Rielly opened the scoring early in the first frame when he took a pass from Oliver Ekman-Larsson and scored on a snap shot from the wide edge of the left circle. Rielly is on a 60-point pace for the first time since 2021-22. And that could shoot up if the Leafs can improve on their power play, which sits 26th overall. Rielly has 18 points, including 14 helpers, in 23 games this season, but just three assists have come with the man advantage.
Maple Leafs' Morgan Rielly: Dishes game-winning assist
Rotowire
Reilly provided an assist, put five shots on goal and blocked three attempts in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win against the Blues.
Reilly relayed a pass to William Nylander that would lead the latter to score Tuesday's game-winning goal. With the helper, Reilly is up to 13 assists, 16 points, 37 shots on net and 21 blocks through 19 outings this season. The majority of his offensive contributions have been in his past nine games, where he has 10 points. If he can stay healthy, Rielly should easily surpass his 41-point performance from the 2024-25 regular season.

Maple Leafs' Morgan Rielly: Scores in Saturday's loss
Rotowire
Rielly scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Blackhawks.
Rielly had eight assists over a six-game streak to begin November, though that run was snapped Thursday against the Kings. He bounced back with his first goal since Oct. 18 versus the Kraken. The 31-year-old blueliner has three goals, 15 points, 32 shots on net, 18 blocked shots, 10 hits and a minus-4 rating over 18 contests so far. Offense hasn't been the problem for the Maple Leafs, and that makes Rielly a strong option in fantasy as he continues to see big minutes on the top pairing and first power-play unit.

Rotowire
Rielly picked up an assist in a 5-3 loss to Boston on Tuesday.
It was his 438th assist, and that moved Rielly past Tomas Kaberle for second among defensemen in Maple Leafs history. Borje Salming is first with 620. Rielly is on a six-game, eight-assist streak, and he has 14 points in 16 games thus far. He has just two power-play helpers, but that unit has struggled, and he's now a one-man band for excellence.

Maple Leafs' Morgan Rielly: Four-game, six-assist streak
Rotowire
Rielly picked up two assists in a 5-3 loss to Boston on Saturday.

Both helpers came in the third period as the Leafs rallied from a 3-0 deficit, with Rielly having a hand in the first of two tallies by William Nylander as well as Bobby McMann's game-winner. It was Rielly's first multi-point performance since Oct. 11, but the veteran blueliner has been reliably productive to begin the season, collecting two goals and nine points in 12 games.

Rotowire
Rielly (undisclosed) is expected to play against Buffalo on Saturday, Mark Masters of TSN reports.
Rielly should be back on the top pairing and the first power-play unit after sitting out Friday's 5-3 loss to the Sabres. He has accounted for two goals, four assists, 20 shots on net, five blocked shots and six hits through seven appearances this season. With Rielly good to go, Dakota Mermis or Philippe Myers will likely come out of the lineup.

Rotowire
Rielly (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Sabres, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.
Rielly was considered questionable for Friday's matchup due to an undisclosed injury, and he'll be unavailable for at least one game. However, head coach Craig Berube said Friday that Rielly could be an option for Saturday's rematch against Buffalo, so the defenseman is unlikely to be facing a lengthy absence.

Rotowire
Rielly is dealing with an undisclosed injury and is questionable to face the Sabres on Friday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
