Phaneuf crunched Miller into the boards from behind near the end of the third period in Sunday night's Bruins-Maple Leafs game. The NHL confirmed that Phaneuf's hearing will happen on Tuesday by phone, meaning that it can be no longer than five games.
Mark Fraser will once again be scratched as Phaneuf will play. This is great news for the Maple Leafs who could not afford to lose anyone else to injury, especially not their captain and big minute eating defenseman.
Phaneuf took two line rushes before departing for the dressing room. It looks like he is doubtful to play tonight. Phaneuf reportedly blocked a shot last night and left briefly but was able to finish the game.
Rynnas isn't fantasy relevant.
With James Reimer expected to be out for a minimum of one week the Maple Leafs have recalled Rynnas to serve as Ben Scrivens backup.
Rynnas heading back to the minors indicates Jonas Gustavsson is healthy enough to backup.
Rynnas will make his NHL debut tonight.
Rynnas is expected to backup Jonas Gustavsson. The big netminder has no fantasy hockey value.
Rynnas was used as Jonas Gustavsson's backup last night but wasn't expected to see any playing time with the Leafs. He has no fantasy hockey value.
No word on who Rynnas will backup for in Toronto tonight.
Phaneuf took a maintenance day yesterday but is expected to play tonight. The team's captain has scored six goals and 27 points in 40 games this season. Expect him to play in all situations tonight.
Phaneuf likely took a maintenance day today. The team's captain has played in all 40 of the Leafs games, scoring six goals and 27 points over 40 games.
Sounds like Phaneuf simply took a maintenance day today and otherwise is OK. If you own the team's captain, start him with confidence.
