| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | Auston Matthews  ActiveAuston Matthews had a goal and an assist in Saturday's 6-3 loss to Ottawa. The Leafs were down 3-0 going into the third period, but they managed to cut the deficit to 3-2 thanks to goals by James van Riemsdyk and Matthews. Later on in the period, Matthews helped set up William Nylander's power play goal, which cut the deficit to 4-3 at the time. Unfortunately for the Leafs, that's as close as they'd come to tying the game. Matthews has now picked up at least one point in seven of Toronto's eight games. He has seven goals and 12 points this season. Oct 21 |
| 2 | Nazem Kadri ActiveNazem Kadri recorded his fourth goal of the season and added an assist in Wednesday's 6-3 win over Detroit. Kadri opened the scoring nearly six minutes into the first period. He has generated two goals and two assists over a three-game point streak. Kadri has accounted for eight points in seven matches this season. Oct 19 |
| 3 | Tyler Bozak ActiveTyler Bozak wants to build on his success last season. Bozak recorded a personal best 55 points (18 goals, 37 assists) in 78 games. "We expect a lot from each other and everyone wants to improve and get better as a team, so we're excited for things to get going," he said. "As athletes, we always expect to improve and play better as individuals and as a team. We expect to be better than we were last year and we expect each guy to take another step forward. We want to win and that's what we expect to do." Bozak is the longest tenured Maple Leafs player (513 games) and there's a chance he could be traded at some points this year. Sep 12 |
| 4 | Dominic Moore ActiveDominic Moore is expected to be a healthy scratch in Wednesday night's game against the Detroit Red Wings. Moore has two goals in three appearances so far this season with the Toronto Maple Leafs. With Moore playing last night versus Washington, Head Coach Mike Babcock has continued his rotation of fourth line centers and will dress Eric Fehr in his stead tonight. Calle Rosen will also expected to be in the press box for tonight's game in favour of Andreas Borgman. Oct 18 |
| LW | 1 | James van Riemsdyk ActiveJames van Riemsdyk potted his third goal of the season in a 6-3 loss to New Jersey on Wednesday night. Van Riemsdyk opened the scoring in the first period with a power-play marker. He finished the match with seven shots on net. JVR has produced five points in four games this year. He said before Wednesday's contest that he is focused on helping the Leafs and isn't worried about his contract situation or a potential trade. Oct 12 |
| 2 | Patrick Marleau ActiveAs Patrick Marleau gets ready for his 1,500th career NHL game, he made it clear that he doesn't want to think about hanging up his career any time soon. "I’m going to keep going as long as I can," Marleau said. "I don’t know if my wife’s ready to have me at home full-time yet. If I feel good and still think I can contribute then I’ll keep it going." That's not terribly surprising given that he signed a three-year deal with Toronto over the summer. That being said, by playing on Wednesday he'll already be moving up to 18th place on the all-time games list and it will be interesting to see how far he can climb. Gordie Howe holds the record with 1,787 contests, but Jaromir Jagr (1,714) might pass him this season. Oct 18 |
| 3 | Zach Hyman ActiveZach Hyman notched a goal and a helper in Wednesday's 6-3 victory against Detroit. Hyman was rewarded for going hard to the net when the puck deflected off him and went into the net. He has three goals and five points in seven contests this year. Hyman's offensive potential remains limited, but playing alongside Auston Matthews and William Nylander will present him with plenty of chances. Oct 19 |
| 4 | Matt Martin ActiveMatt Martin registered an assist in Toronto's 8-5 win over the Rangers Saturday night. It was Martin's first point in two games this season. He's known primarily for his physical play and might not even reach the 10-point mark in 2017-18. Oct 8 |
| 5 | Eric Fehr ActiveEric Fehr will center the fourth line on Monday night against Chicago. Fehr was a healthy scratch Saturday after he played in Toronto's opener. Dominic Moore will be in the press box, as the Leafs continue a fourth-line center rotation. Oct 9 |
| 6 | Josh Leivo ActiveJosh Leivo will be a healthy scratch in Wednesday's game against the New Jersey Devils. Leivo has yet to play a game for the Maple Leafs this season. He won't have any fantasy value this season. Eric Fehr will also watch the game from the press box. Oct 11 |
| 7 | Joffrey Lupul  I.L.Joffrey Lupul has failed his second physical and can be placed on long-term injured reserve. The NHL confirmed the initial diagnosis after Lupul failed his team physical before training camp. Toronto will place Lupul ($5.25 million) and Nathan Horton ($5.3 million) on LTIR once the season starts for some cap relief. Lupul hasn't played for the Leafs since February 2016. Oct 3 |
| RW | 1 | William Nylander ActiveWilliam Nylander tallied a goal and a helper in a 6-3 win over Detroit Wednesday night. Nylander's second goal of the season was an empty-netter to seal the win. He has seven points and a plus-10 rating through seven matches this campaign. Oct 19 |
| 2 | Mitch Marner ActiveMitch Marner remained on the fourth line during Tuesday's morning skate. Marner was put on the fourth line on Monday and he was back there on Tuesday morning. The sophomore forward has four points in five games this season, but he also owns a minus-6 rating. It looks like he'll start tonight's game with Dominic Moore and Matt Martin. Oct 17 |
| 3 | Leo Komarov ActiveLeo Komarov got a two-minute penalty in the first period Wednesday night for illegal equipment. Komarov has been warned before for wearing his visor too high on his head. "I could feel it right away when I stepped on the ice, that (the referee) was watching me," Komarov said. "The referee told me it was up, but I put it down. They changed the rules ... maybe it's my helmet that was up (and not the visor). Those are the (rule changes) we have to go through." He can choose to remove it, but he will probably just adjust to having it lower to guard his eyes better. Komarov also had an assist in Toronto's 7-2 win over Winnipeg. Oct 5 |
| 4 | Connor Brown ActiveConnor Brown scored a goal in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Washington Capitals. Brown opened the scoring at the 5:33 mark of the third period when he buried a rebound past Capitals goalie Braden Holtby. That goal proved to be the game-winner. Brown finished the game with a plus-1 rating and two shots on goal in 13:27 of ice time. He now has two goals and one assist in six games this season. Nazem Kadri also found the back of the net for the Maple Leafs. Oct 17 |
| 5 | Nathan Horton I.L.Nathan Horton has been left off Toronto's training camp roster after failing his physical, he is also not with the team. Horton, who suffers from a degenerative back condition that has prevented him from playing since the 2013-14 season, is expected to be placed on long-term injury reserve once the regular season begins. The move will relieve $5.3M of cap space, which will be useful for the Maple Leafs as they're currently just $385K below the ceiling. Sep 17 |
| D | 1 | Jake Gardiner ActiveJake Gardiner showed up for training camp in excellent shape. He averaged a personal high 21:32 of ice time per game last season and he broke out offensively with 43 points in 82 contests. Gardiner also led the Leafs in power-play time last year and he could flirt with the 50-point plateau in 2017-18. Sep 21 |
| 2 | Morgan Rielly ActiveMorgan Rielly contributed his 100th career assist on Wednesday night. Rielly also scored his first goal of the season on a Toronto power play during a 6-3 win over Detroit. He has amassed seven points in seven contests, including one goal and three helpers in his last two outings. Oct 19 |
| 3 | Nikita Zaitsev ActiveNikita Zaitsev produced a goal and an assist in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over Chicago. Zaitsev also had a goal and a helper on Saturday versus the Rangers. He has four points through three matches this campaign along with a plus-6 rating. Oct 10 |
| 4 | Connor Carrick ActiveConnor Carrick (upper body) has declared himself good to return to the Leafs' lineup. Carrick missed Monday and Wednesday's games due to the injury. He has an assist in two games this season. Oct 13 |
| 5 | Ron Hainsey ActiveRon Hainsey has been paired with Morgan Rielly in the first few Maple Leaf scrimmages. Toronto coach Mike Babcock seems intent on playing the talented Rielly with the 36-year-old veteran Hainsey and the two rearguards seem to be getting along just fine. Rielly has a lot of untapped offensive potential and his teaming up with Hainsey may help him release it. Sep 17 |
| 6 | Andreas Borgman ActiveAndreas Borgman will be a healthy scratch against the Washington Capitals on Tuesday. Borgman is the odd defenseman out for the Maple Leafs against Washington. The Swedish rearguard has one point in four games this season. He'll join Josh Leivo and Eric Fehr as healthy scratches in the press box. Oct 17 |
| 7 | Calle Rosen ActiveCalle Rosen (healthy scratch) won't play against the Ottawa Senators on Saturday night. Rosen has one assist in four games this season for the Maple Leafs. He'll sit in the press box along with Eric Fehr and Josh Leivo Oct 21 |
| G | 1 | Frederik Andersen ActiveFrederik Andersen allowed five goals on 34 shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Ottawa Senators. The Maple Leafs never held the lead in this game, as they fell behind 3-0 after two periods. They made the game interesting in the third frame, but they never managed to complete the comeback. Andersen has a 5-2-0 record with a 3.41 goals-against-average and a .892 save percentage this season. It's the fifth time he's allowed three goals or more in a game this season. Oct 21 |
| 2 | Curtis McElhinney ActiveCurtis McElhinney stopped 30 of 33 shots in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Detroit Red Wings. It's a victory for McElhinney in his first appearance of the 2017-18 regular season. The Leafs gave their backup goalie plenty of early run-support, as they went into the first intermission with a 4-1 lead and they never looked back. McElhinney doesn't have much, if any, fantasy value behind Frederik Andersen, but he can be used occasionally in spot starts. Oct 18 |
