Toronto Maple Leafs News

Murray allowed three goals on 39 shots in a 4-1 loss to the Islanders on Tuesday. It was his first start after missing nine games with a concussion, and he should continue to see a starter’s workload down the stretch. He draws a decent matchup at home tonight against the Devils.

Matthews has been out since February 22nd but will return Thursday in Nashville. Matthews has had a strong season and the Maple Leafs did well without him. The 20-year-old has registered 28 goals and 22 assists (50 points) in 53 games this season.

Murray has missed the last nine games with a concussion but will be an option in goal tomorrow. Murray will take part in the morning skate and the Penguins will see how he responds after the skate before making a decision.

Benning is battling a sickness so he will come out of the lineup vs. the Sharks. Oscar Klefbom (shoulder), who has missed the last two games, will replace him.

Jarnkrok came out of the Predators lineup on Saturday, but will draw back in for Scott Hartnell on Tuesday. Jarnkrok has picked up 16 goals and 19 assists (35 points) in 67 games this season.

Murray has missed the last seven games with a concussion but he faced “full shots” before Tuesday’s practice and will accompany the team on their three-game road trip that starts Wednesday in New York. This doesn’t guarantee that Murray will start on the trip, but at least opens the door for him to practice with the team.

Matthews was once again on the ice on Monday, but he has already been ruled out for Wednesday’s game vs. Dallas. However, head coach Mike Babcock said that he could “become an option to get back in at some point after that.” If he isn’t playing Wednesday vs. the Stars it seems unlikely that he will play in Buffalo on Thursday, but Saturday’s game vs. Montreal seems like a possibility.

Matthews will miss his sixth straight game with an upper-body injury despite practicing throughout the week. His next chance to return is Wednesday vs. the Stars or Thursday in Buffalo.

Pacioretty suffered the injury against the Islanders on March 2nd and will be out until at least early-April. Pacioretty’s 2017-18 season could potentially be over with 17 goals and 20 assists (37 points) in 64 games.

Pacioretty left late in last night’s win over the Islanders and will have to come out of the lineup tonight in Boston. With the season all but over for the Canadiens, there’s no need to force Pacioretty into any games down the stretch. He has returned to Montreal to be re-evaluated.

Murray was hit in the head by a shot in Monday's practice and has been diagnosed with a concussion. As is always the drill with concussions, Murray does not have a timetable for his return. Pittsburgh will turn to the young duo of Tristan Jarry and Casey DeSmith once again.

Murray was forced to leave the ice early on Monday after being hit up high by a shot. Tristan Jarry and Casey DeSmith are both on the ice this morning, which suggests that Jarry will start and Murray will miss at least tonight's game vs. the Devils. Expect an update on Murray's status later today.

Murray was reportedly hit in the mask by a shot at Penguins practice and was forced to leave early. Murray will be looked at later today and his status for Tuesday’s game is in question. Expect an update during Tuesday’s morning skate.

Reaves was acquired from the Penguins on Friday and will play his first game with Vegas tomorrow in Los Angeles. Reaves is not known for his offence, having picked up just eight points (4G / 4A) in 58 games this season.
