Morgan Rielly Slated to Miss Second Straight Game With Injury

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly is day-to-day with a lower-body injury and will miss his second consecutive contest Tuesday against the Avalanche. Rielly sustained the injury in Saturday's game against Montreal. Before the injury, the 32-year-old blueliner posted 12 assists, 21 shots on net, eight hits, and 23 blocked shots over 18 appearances. Dakota Mermis will likely see a heightened role in his absence, with Rielly's next chance to return coming Thursday against the Wild.
