Toronto Maple Leafs News

The Oilers recalled Matt Benning from his long-term injured reserve conditioning loan with Bakersfield (AHL).

Benning has not suited up for the Oilers since December 1st and picked up one assist in three games with Bakersfield during his conditioning stint. Benning's return to the team doesn't necessarily mean that he'll play on Wednesday, but he comes back up with five assists in 24 games this season.

Muzzin (foot) is expected to be back in the Maple Leafs lineup on Monday.

Muzzin missed the last 10 games with a broken foot but is expected to play Monday in Nashville. Muzzin was recently recalled from a one-game conditioning stint with the Marlies and skated on the top-pair with Justin Holl in Sunday's practice. He will likely log massive minutes while Morgan Rielly is out and comes into play with 13 points (3G / 10A) in 38 games this season.

Matthews (wrist) is expected to play Monday in Nashville.

Matthews attended the All-Star weekend but did not play, but anticipates playing Monday vs. the Predators. Following Sunday's practice, Matthews said his wrist "isn't 100 percent" but will play anyways. Matthews enters play with 15 goals and eight assists (23 points) in his last 15 games.

Rielly will miss at least eight weeks with a fractured foot.

Rielly underwent a CT scan on Monday and it revealed a fractured foot, that will sideline the Maple Leafs’ defenseman for at least two months. This is a huge blow for a Toronto team, that is already without Jake Muzzin with the same type of injury. Rasmus Sandin was called up from the Toronto Marlies (AHL) this morning to replace Rielly moving forward.
