Pos | Role | Name |
C | 1 | Auston Matthews  ActiveAuston Matthews found the back of the net in Monday's 4-2 win over the Boston Bruins. The Leafs had 1-0 and 2-1 leads in the second period, but they allowed the Bruins to tie the game both times. Matthews then gave Toronto a 3-2 advantage when he sniped a beauty past Bruins netminder Tuukka Rask with just over five minutes to go in the middle frame. That goal proved to be the game-winner. It was also Matthews' first point of the 2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs. The 20-year-old finished the game with an even rating, five shots on goal and one hit in 17:11 of ice time. The Leafs now find themselves down 2-1 in this best-of-seven series. Game 4 will be played in Toronto on Thursday night. Apr 16 |
| 2 | Nazem Kadri  SuspendedNazem Kadri has been suspended three games for boarding Tommy Wingels on Thursday night. Kadri was also tossed from Game 1 of Toronto's first-round series against Boston. That's a big suspension, but one that's definitely deserved. The Maple Leafs use Kadri as their primary shutdown center, so not having in the lineup for the next three games is going to be a big loss. He'll be eligible to return in Game 5, assuming the series goes that long. Apr 13 |
| 3 | Tyler Bozak  ActiveTyler Bozak found the back of the net in Toronto's 7-3 loss to Boston on Saturday night in Game 2 of their first-round series. Bozak's goal helped the Leafs outscore Boston 2-1 during the second period, but it came after the Bruins had already established a 5-1 lead. Bozak has four goals and seven points in 13 career postseason outings. Apr 15 |
| 4 | Tomas Plekanec  ActiveTomas Plekanec will center Toronto's second line in Game 3 versus Boston on Monday night. Plekanec posted just two assists in 17 games with the Leafs during the regular season after he was acquired from Montreal. He has mostly played on the fourth line, but will play between Mitch Marner and Patrick Marleau Monday. The Leafs have moved him up due to Nazem Kadri's suspension and an injury to Leo Komarov. Apr 16 |
| 5 | Dominic Moore  ActiveDominic Moore is on Toronto's fourth line for the morning skate. Moore is poised to play in his first game since Mar. 30 due to Nazem Kadri's suspension and an injury to Leo Komarov. He was flanked by Andreas Johnsson and Kasperi Kapanen, while Tomas Plekanec moved up to the second line between Mitch Marner and Patrick Marleau. Apr 16 |
LW | 1 | James van Riemsdyk  ActiveJames van Riemsdyk opened the scoring Monday night against Boston with a power-play goal late in the first period. Van Riemsdyk has found the back of the net on the man advantage in two straight playoff games. The Leafs took Game 3 by a score of 4-2. Apr 17 |
| 2 | Patrick Marleau  ActivePatrick Marleau scored a pair of goals in Monday's 4-2 win over the Boston Bruins. Marleau gave the Leafs a 2-1 lead 55 seconds after Boston tied the game at one early in the second frame. The veteran then added his second tally of the night with under four minutes remaining in regulation to make it 4-2 for his team. Marleau finished the night with a plus-2 rating, two penalty minutes, two shots on goal and four hits in 15:44 of ice time. The 38-year-old became the oldest player in team history to score in the playoffs at 38 years and 213 days (Norm Ullman previously owned that record). He now has two goals in three games this postseason. The Maple Leafs trail the best-of-seven series 2-1. They'll host Game 4 on Thursday night. Apr 16 |
| 3 | Zach Hyman  ActiveZach Hyman scored the only goal for the Toronto Maple Leafs in their Game 1 loss to the Boston Bruins. Hyman showed some nice speed and hustle to beat David Krejci to the loose puck before putting a move on Tuukka Rask to tie the game at one with just over three minutes left in the first period. Unfortunately for the Maple Leafs, they couldn't muster up much of anything else offensively. The Leafs will need to get their top lines going for Game 2 and could be without Nazem Kadri who will likely be facing a suspension after hitting Tommy Wingels from behind during the final period. Connor Brown and Morgan Rielly got the assists on Toronto's only goal. Apr 12 |
| 4 | Matt Martin  ActiveMatt Martin will be a healthy scratch in Game 3 against the Boston Bruins on Monday night. Martin has been scratched in 14 of Toronto's last 15 games dating back to the regular season. He had three goals and 12 points in 50 games this season. The Leafs are making one change to their lineup, as Leo Komarov (lower body) will sit. He'll be replaced by Dominic Moore. Josh Leivo and Connor Carrick will also watch the game from the press box. Apr 16 |
| 5 | Josh Leivo  ActiveJosh Leivo will be a healthy scratch in Wednesday's game against the Florida Panthers. Leivo has one goal and three assists in 16 games this season. This is the 10th time in 12 games that he'll serve as a healthy scratch. Matt Martin, Dominic Moore and Connor Carrick will also watch the game from the press box. Mar 28 |
| 6 | Kasperi Kapanen  ActiveKasperi Kapanen will be a healthy scratch in Monday's game against the Buffalo Sabres. Kapanen has seven goals and two assists in 36 games this season. The 21-year-old has been a regular in the Leafs lineup, but he's played under 10 minutes in each of his last three outings. Leo Komarov, Josh Leivo and Dominic Moore will also watch the game from the press box. Apr 2 |
| 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 scored a goal in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the New Jersey Devils. Nylander's power-play tally at the 6:56 mark of the first period gave the Leafs a 1-0 lead at the time. The goal also allowed Nylander to hit the 20-goal mark, which means he's earned a $212,000 performance bonus. The 21-year-old has now picked up four points in his last two games and he's up to 60 points in 81 games this season. There's a decent chance that the Maple Leafs could rest him in Saturday's season finale against the Montreal Canadiens. Patrick Marleau and Auston Matthews picked up the assists on Toronto's only goal of the game. Apr 5 |
| 2 | Mitch Marner  ActiveMitch Marner earned two assists in Monday's Game 3 victory over Boston. Marner set up both goals scored by Patrick Marleau in the contest. He has produced one goal and three helpers in three postseason matches. Marner, Marleau and Tomas Plekanec did a good job against Boston's top line in Game 3 and the Leafs will need more of that in Game 4 to even up the best-of-seven series. Apr 17 |
| 3 | Connor Brown  ActiveConnor Brown is projected to skate on a line with Tyler Bozak and James van Riemsdyk on Saturday night. Brown was promoted off the Maple Leafs' fourth line. He comes into tonight's game against Ottawa having scored in back-to-back games. Brown is up to 12 goals and six assists in 47 games this season. He doesn't need to be owned in standard fantasy leagues. Jan 20 |
| 4 | Leo Komarov  SidelinedLeo Komarov (lower body) absence from Wednesday's practice was described as him taking a personal day. That being said, Komarov has been ruled out of Game 4 on Thursday, per Maple Leafs coach Mike Babcock. Komarov was hurt during Saturday's contest. Apr 18 |
| 5 | Andreas Johnsson  ActiveAndreas Johnsson appears to be OK after he was taken down by Brad Marchand on Monday night. Johnsson went to the locker room briefly, but he managed to return to the match. Coach Mike Babcock said Tuesday that Johnsson wasn't experiencing any ill effects. Apr 17 |
| 6 | 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 | Morgan Rielly  ActiveMorgan Rielly contributed two assists in Toronto's 4-2 win over Boston in Game 3. Rielly has earned at least one point in each game against Boston in the playoffs. He has four helpers in the series and played his best game on Monday night. Rielly was physical, with four hits, and he helped shut down Boston's top line even though they still had some chances. Apr 17 |
| 2 | Jake Gardiner  ActiveJake Gardiner reached the 50-point mark for the first time in his career on Monday night. Gardiner earned an assist in Toronto's win over Buffalo to extend his point streak to five straight games. He has contributed six helpers during that span and he has 10 points in his past 11 outings. Apr 3 |
| 3 | Nikita Zaitsev  ActiveNikita Zaitsev (illness) will rejoin the Maple Leafs on Thursday. Zaitsev missed five straight games. He has four goalsand 12 points in 51 games in 2017-18. Mar 22 |

The veteran finished the night with a minus-2 rating, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in 20:41 of ice time. Hainsey has four goals and 20 points in 62 games this season. Feb 25 |
| 5 | Connor Carrick  ActiveConnor Carrick will be a healthy scratch in Game 2 against Boston on Saturday night. Carrick also watched Game 1 from the press box.

| 6 | Travis Dermott  ActiveTravis Dermott (lower body) will play in Saturday's game against the Montreal Canadiens. Dermott has missed each of the last two games, but he'll suit up in Toronto's regular season finale. The 21-year-old has one goal and 13 points in 36 games this season. Connor Carrick will come out of the lineup to make room for Dermott. Apr 7 |
| 7 | Roman Polak  ActiveRoman Polak will be a healthy scratch in Tuesday's game against the Florida Panthers. The 31-year-old has been splitting playing duties with Connor Carrick, who will slide back into the lineup tonight. Polak has two goals and nine points in 40 games this season. Matt Martin and Josh Leivo will also watch the game from the press box. Feb 27 |
G | 1 | Frederik Andersen  ActiveFrederik Andersen turned aside 40 of 42 shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Boston Bruins. Andersen will probably want to have both of Boston's goals back, but he still managed to come up with a few fantastic saves throughout the game. He saved his best save for last, as he dove to his right to make a paddle save on Bruins forward David Pastrnak, which kept the Leafs in front 4-2. Andersen has a 4.54 goals-against-average and .885 save percentage this postseason. The Leafs trail the best-of-seven series 2-1. They'll have a chance to even up the series at home on Thursday night. Apr 16 |
| 2 | Curtis McElhinney  ActiveCurtis McElhinney turned aside 32 of 34 shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres. Both of Buffalo's goals were scored on the power play, but the Maple Leafs never trailed in this game. McElhinney has now won four of his last five decisions. He has an 11-5-1 record with a 2.14 goals-against-average and a .934 save percentage this season. This may have been his final start of the regular season. Apr 2 |
