Toronto Maple Leafs News

Tanev has missed the last seven games with a groin issue, but will replace Ben Hutton in the lineup vs. Anaheim. Tanev has just six points (2G / 4A) in 25 games this season but does a lot for the Canucks blueline while eating up over 20 minutes a night.

Tanev returned to practice on Wednesday but is not quite ready to play. Tanev will miss his sixth straight game but it looks like he’s trending towards a return on Saturday.

Lettieri, 22, has recorded 12 goals and nine assists (21 points) in 31 games with the Wolf Pack this season. He has played well in his first full pro season after four years at the University of Minnesota. He could make his NHL debut with Chris Kreider leaving Wednesday’s game.

Bobrovsky allowed one goal on 31 shots in the Blue Jackets win over the Flyers last Saturday. The win snapped a three-game losing streak for Bobrovsky, who has gone 4-5-1 with a 3.27 GAA and .897 SV% in his last 10 starts. One of those losses came in Pittsburgh, where he starts again tonight—he stopped 39 of 41 shots in the shootout defeat.

Bobrovsky allowed two goals on 41 shots in the Blue Jackets shootout loss in Pittsburgh on Thursday. Bobrovsky has been inconsistent as of late, going 3-5-1 with a 3.57 GAA and .889 SV% in nine December starts. Tonight he faces his former team on home-ice, where he has gone 10-5-0 with a 2.03 GAA, .933 SV% and four shutouts this season.

Matthews has missed the last six games with a concussion but will be back on the Maple Leafs top-line tonight. He will skate with Zach Hyman and William Nylander in New York and comes in with 26 points (13G / 13A) in 26 games this season.

Matthews has missed the last six games but was back skating on the top line between William Nylander and Zach Hyman at Friday’s practice and is hopeful that he will play tomorrow vs. the Rangers. The Maple Leafs went 2-4-0 without Matthews in the lineup. If he plays, he brings 13 goals and 13 assists (26 points) in 26 games this season.

Matthews has missed the last five games with an upper-body injury but he will travel on the Maple Leafs brief two-game road trip before the Christmas break, suggesting that he may play either Wednesday in Columbus or Saturday in New York.

Matthews skated again on Tuesday but will not be in the lineup this afternoon. Matthews will miss his fifth straight game and there is no firm timetable for his return. This likely means he will miss Tuesday’s game in Columbus as well.
