Maple Leafs' Bobby McMann: Two-point effort in loss
Rotowire
McMann had a goal and an assist in a 5-3 loss to Nashville on Saturday.
With the Leafs' goalie pulled, McMann wired a wrist shot from the top of the right circle at 19:06 of the third period to make it 4-3. The points snapped a five-game drought. McMann puts points up in short stretches, and in between, he's gone five, six and eight games without a point. Take a chance on him right now, in case he strings together a couple more games of offense.

Maple Leafs' Bobby McMann: Back from suspension
Rotowire
McMann served his one-game suspension Thursday and will return to the lineup Saturday against Edmonton.
McMann missed the contest against San Jose for high-sticking Oliver Bjorkstrand of the Lightning on Monday. McMann has eight goals, six assists and 67 hits over 29 games this season. Look for Nicholas Robertson as the likely candidate to come out of the lineup due to the return of McMann.

Maple Leafs' Bobby McMann: Facing suspension
Rotowire
McMann will have a hearing with the Department of Player Safety on Tuesday for a high stick on Oliver Bjorkstrand.
Since McMann is having a hearing with the league, fantasy managers can expect him to at least be suspended for Thursday's clash versus the Sharks, if not longer. The potential absence of McMann will likely open up a spot in the lineup for Nicholas Robertson, though Matias Maccelli should also be in the mix.

Rotowire
McMann scored twice Thursday in a 5-1 win over Carolina.
McMann scored on the Leafs' first shot of the game at 0:53 of the first period. He fired a short snapshot from the slot that hit the post, bounced off Frederik Andersen and trickled over the line. He added an empty net goal for good measure. It's McMann's third consecutive two-point game (three goals, three assists; seven shots). He's a valuable daily play in the short term.

Maple Leafs' Bobby McMann: Four points in last two games
Rotowire
McMann set up two goals in a 4-1 win over the Panthers on Tuesday.
McMann, Dakota Joshua and Troy Stecher were on fire early and set the pace for the Leafs. They combined for two goals in a 2:30 span by the 7:54 mark of the first frame. McMann looks good in this deployment, but it does little for his fantasy value. The 29-year-old has four points, including three assists, in his last two games, and six goals and six assists in 26 games overall.

Maple Leafs' Bobby McMann: Snaps six-game point drought
Rotowire
McMann had a goal and a power-play assist in a 7-2 win over Pittsburgh on Saturday.
The points snapped a six-game drought for McMann. His fantasy value is limited on the third line, and while he can fill in higher in the lineup, he doesn't have the talent to sustain that kind of gig long term. McMann does have 56 hits in 25 games, so there's some fantasy value in his effort.

Maple Leafs' Bobby McMann: Five points in last six games
Rotowire
McMann scored a goal Thursday in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Kings.
McMann stole back the puck after he had turned it over to Adrian Kempe in the defensive zone, and he took off on a breakaway. His shot caught a piece of Darcy Kuemper's right pad before it trickled over the goal line to put the Leafs up 1-0 at 8:06 of the first frame. McMann has a goal in each of his last two games, and he has five points, including three goals in his last six contests. It's a nice bump for the winger, who had just three points in his first 12 contests.

Maple Leafs' Bobby McMann: Nets power-play marker
Rotowire
McMann scored a power-play goal on two shots, added two PIM, logged three hits and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Bruins.
McMann has four points over his last five games, though his goal Tuesday was his first power-play point of the campaign. The 29-year-old forward is up to four goals, seven points, 25 shots on net, 46 hits, 15 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 17 appearances. A second-line role seems to be suiting him well, which makes McMann an interesting depth forward for fantasy managers.

Maple Leafs' Bobby McMann: Tallies game-winner Monday
Rotowire
McMann scored the game-winning goal and added four hits in Monday's 4-3 win over the Penguins.
Pittsburgh led 3-0 after two periods, but McMann had the fourth and final goal in a span of 10:12 for the Maple Leafs that flipped the game around in the third. The tally ended an eight-game skid for McMann, who still had 10 shots and 23 hits in that span. The 29-year-old may be a little streaky at times, but he's getting steady middle-six minutes. His recent slump has cost him a power-play role for now, but he could get it back if he warms up. For the season, McMann has four points, 21 shots, 41 hits and a plus-1 rating over 13 appearances.

Rotowire
McMann scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Predators.
McMann has found the scoresheet in three of Toronto's first four games, earning two goals and an assist. He's added 10 shots on net, 14 hits, five blocked shots and a plus-2 rating. McMann often begins games on the third line but occasionally sees shifts higher in the lineup. While a full-time top-six role would be ideal, the 29-year-old is making the most of the minutes he's getting now, making him an intriguing option for fantasy.

Maple Leafs' Bobby McMann: Lights lamp in opener
Rotowire
McMann scored a goal and added four hits in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Canadiens.
McMann could have more fantasy appeal this season if he sticks on the second line with John Tavares and William Nylander, who both assisted on his goal one minute into the game. The 29-year-old McMann had promising stretches last year that correlated with his promotion into a top-six role, allowing him to finish the regular season with 20 goals and 34 points in 74 outings. He also shot 11.8 percent -- while a little high overall, it was a lower rate than in 2023-24, when he shot 12.7 percent over 56 games. McMann could push for something closer to the 40-45 point range while still adding plenty of hits and a few PIM in 2025-26.

Maple Leafs' Bobby McMann: Nabs assist in Game 7 loss
Rotowire
McMann produced an assist, three shots on goal and five hits in Sunday's 6-1 loss to the Panthers in Game 7.
McMann had two assists over the last two games of the playoffs. In total, he picked up three helpers, 18 shots on net, 49 hits, 16 PIM and a minus-2 rating in 13 postseason outings while filling a third-line role. McMann can do better than that, though this was his first year of playoff experience. He had 20 goals and 34 points in 74 regular-season outings and should be a viable depth pick in fantasy for 2025-26.

Maple Leafs' Bobby McMann: Ends lengthy slump with helper
Rotowire
McMann notched an assist and two hits in Friday's 2-0 win over the Panthers in Game 6.
The helper was McMann's second of the postseason, ending a 10-game slump after he supplied an assist in Game 1 of the first round versus the Senators. The 28-year-old winger has added 15 shots on net, 16 PIM, 44 hits and a minus-2 rating. McMann has found success in a larger role at times, and he may be an option to play in the top six if Matthew Knies (undisclosed) can't suit up in Sunday's Game 7. However, McMann's lack of offense compared to Max Pacioretty could cause the former to be held back on the third line.

McMann helped out on a Morgan Rielly tally in the third period. The 28-year-old McMann opened the playoffs in a third-line role, which may make it difficult for him to put up steady offense, though he adds plenty of physicality. He had a career-best 20 goals and 34 points while adding 169 shots, 136 hits and a plus-12 rating over 74 regular-season outings, though he was limited to just one helper over his previous 11 games.
