  • Remains out Friday
    Heinen (undisclosed) continues to be day-to-day but won't be available for Game 3 versus Florida on Friday, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports.

    Advice: Heinen will be sidelined for his fifth consecutive contest due to his undisclosed injury. Prior to getting hurt, the 28-year-old winger was stuck in a seven-game goal drought during which he managed just one helper and a mere six shots. Once Heinen is given the all-clear, he should be in the mix to reclaim a spot on the third line, likely knocking Justin Brazeau from the lineup. Rotowire.com Today, 8:21 am
     
  • Dealing with knee problem
    McMann was sidelined for the last nine games of the season due to an MCL sprain, Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun reports Friday.

    Advice: McMann finished his rookie year having logged 56 games for the Leafs in which he notched 15 goals on 118 shots, nine assists and 117 hits while averaging 11:34 of ice time. The 27-year-old winger got plenty of looks on the first line with Auston Matthews this season and could be back in that role heading into 2024-25. With a full 82-game campaign, McMann should be capable of reaching the 20-goal threshold and pushing for the 40-point mark. Rotowire.com Today, 7:47 am

  • Hands out helper in loss
    Colton supplied an assist, five hits and two blocked shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Stars in Game 2.

    Advice: Colton snapped a three-game dry spell with the helper. He's up to four points, 12 shots on net, 27 hits, eight blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over seven playoff contests. Colton remains in a third-line role, and he's seeing more limited usage in the postseason. The 27-year-old can offer supplementary offense and plenty of physicality, however.
