Randy Carlyle says that Joffrey Lupul has been cleared for contact. He's available tomorrow but no decision has been made on if he'll play.

Lupul says he is ready to play tomorrow as long as Randy Carlyle inserts him into the lineup. Lupul hasn't played since the third game of the season because of a broken forearm.

It looks like Lupul will make his long-waited return to the Maple Leafs lineup after breaking his arm in the third game of the season. His return couldn't come at a better time, as the Leafs have lost four straight. Monitor his status tomorrow for confirmation that he will play.

Lupul took part in the complete session of practice today. Felt good. Says it will be up to doctors to clear him and then he would return.

Lupul has only appeared in three games this season but is nearing a return from a broken forearm. The Maple Leafs are in the middle of a tight playoff race and it has all been done without Lupul. Getting him back will be like trading for a top-6 forward but not giving up anything. He should have an immediate impact on the Leafs lineup when he returns.

As part of ongoing recovery from fractured forearm, Joffrey Lupul now back skating as well. Likely couple weeks till return.

The Maple Leafs have had young players step up in the absence of Lupul and are winning games without him, so they will probably take their time with Lupul. That being said he had a career year last season in Toronto and will likely be eager to get back on the ice with his buddy Kessel and start scoring again.
