Leafs’ Rielly out day-to-day; Sissons out week-to-week
A couple of notable players continue to miss time in The Six.
On Tuesday, it was revealed that Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly is considered day-to-day with a lower-body injury, while forward Colton Sissons is out week-to-week with a lower-body injury as well.
Other updates include Kirill Marchenko (week-to-week, lower-body), Nick Blankenburg (week-to-week, upper-body) and Marshall Rifai (week-to-week, lower-body).
Rielly was injured this past Saturday night in a primetime matchup with the Montreal Canadiens. It isn’t quite clear when he was hurt during the contest, but the veteran rearguard logged just 5:45 of ice time across eight shifts before exiting. The Canadiens went on to win the game, 4-2. Rielly also missed Sunday night’s game against the New Jersey Devils, which saw Toronto fall on home ice, 4-0.
Through 18 games this year, hasn’t found the back of the net, but ranks second on the team with 12 assists. He has an evenplus/minus while averaging 18:46 of ice time per game.
Sissons was hurt during the loss to the Devils, but, like Rielly, it hasn’t been reported what knocked him out of the game. The 33-year-old logged just 9:55 of ice time, which ended up being the second-fewest minutes among Leaf skaters. He registered a plus/minus of -1
Sissons signed a two-year contract with the Leafs this past summer, with the deal carrying an AAV of $4.25 million. He was brought in to provide needed depth down the middle for a Leafs team that was looking to bounce back after a disappointing 2025-26 campaign. In appearing in each of the team’s first 19 contests, Sissons has scored two goals and four assists for six points, with an even plus/minus, averaging less than 15 minutes of ice time per game. He picked up an assist in the Leafs’ 4-2 loss to the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday, but hasn’t found the back of the net since Oct. 17 against the New York Islanders.
The Leafs (8-9-2) sit seventh in the Atlantic Division, two points back of the last Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference. They are set to host the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday night.
