Morgan Rielly Set to Miss Third Straight Game Thursday Due to Lower-Body Injury

Morgan Rielly (lower body) is not expected to suit up for Thursday's game against the Minnesota Wild, per David Alter of The Hockey News. This marks the third consecutive contest missed for the veteran defenseman, who has produced 12 assists across 18 appearances during the 2026-27 campaign. In Rielly's continued absence, blue-liner Dakota Mermis will remain in the Toronto Maple Leafs lineup for a third straight game.
