Maple Leafs' Conor Timmins: Produces assist Thursday
Timmins notched an assist in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.
Timmins ended a four-game slump when he helped out on Max Pacioretty's second-period tally, which ended up being the game-winner. The 26-year-old Timmins is holding down a third-pairing role, and the Maple Leafs' defensive logjam has been partially cleared by Utah claiming Dakota Mermis off waivers. Timmins is at six points, 24 shots on net, 40 blocked shots, 17 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-9 rating over 27 appearances. His spot in the lineup is likely to be safe until Jani Hakanpaa (knee) returns.

Maple Leafs' Morgan Rielly: Contributes assist in win
Rielly logged an assist in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.
Rielly has three helpers over his last seven games. His ice time remains steady in a top-four role, though he's most often been on the second power-play unit lately. The blueliner has 16 points (seven on the power play), 55 shots on net, 43 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over 29 appearances.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Considered day-to-day
Head coach Craig Berube said Friday that Stolarz (lower body) is considered day-to-day, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
Stolarz exited Thursday's game against the Ducks after the first period due to his lower-body injury, but Berube said that the netminder's diagnosis provided "good news overall." It's not yet clear whether Stolarz will be available for Saturday's road matchup against Detroit, but it doesn't appear as though he'll be in line to miss significant time. Joseph Woll will likely start if Stolarz is unavailable, while Dennis Hildeby was recalled on an emergency basis Friday.

Maple Leafs' Dennis Hildeby: Called up by NHL club
Hildeby was recalled by the Maple Leafs on an emergency basis Friday, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.
Anthony Stolarz exited Thursday's game against the Ducks due to a lower-body injury, and the Maple Leafs are still awaiting the results of testing to determine the extent of the issue. Hildeby will join the NHL club to provide additional depth in the net, but Joseph Woll will likely serve as the No. 1 netminder if Stolarz is forced to miss time.

Maple Leafs' William Nylander: Tied for fourth in NHL goal chase
Nylander scored a goal Thursday in a 3-2 win over the Ducks.
Nylander hasn't put up a multi-point game over the last eight contests, but he does have five points, including four goals, in that span. He has 18 goals and 11 assists across 29 games this season, and is a strong sniper on fantasy squads. Nylander's 18 snipes have him in a three-way tie with Kirill Kaprizov and Mikko Rantanen for fourth in the NHL.

Maple Leafs' Jake McCabe: Assist in return from injury
McCabe (upper body) had an assist and two shots Thursday in a 3-2 win over the Ducks.
It was his first game back after missing five contests with a head injury. McCabe played 20:07 in his return. He has six assists, 52 hits, 47 blocks and 22 shots in 24 games this season.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Wins in relief
Woll made allowed one goal on 20 shots in relief Thursday in a 3-2 win over Anaheim.
Anthony Stolarz was unable to return to the game for the second period after suffering a lower-body injury, so Woll stepped into the blue paint and earned the win. There was no update on Stolarz after the game, and it will likely come Friday. Woll immediately becomes the No. 1 netminder, and Dennis Hildeby is likely on his way up to the big club.

Maple Leafs' John Tavares: Two apples in win
Tavares picked up two assists Thursday in a 3-2 win over the Ducks.
Tavares set up both of Max Pacioretty's goals. Tavares hadn't picked up any helpers since Nov. 24, a span of seven games. That period coincided with the line shuffling that came with Auston Matthews' return from injury. Tavares benefited from having Mitch Marner beside him while Matthews was out. Now, it looks like Tavares and Pacioretty have plenty of sparks together. Tavares is a solid fantasy play, as he has 25 points (12 goals, 13 assists) and 92 shots over 28 games this season.

Maple Leafs' Max Pacioretty: Three-point outburst fuels win
Pacioretty scored twice and added an assist Thursday in a 3-2 win over the Ducks.
Pacioretty nabbed a loose puck in front of the net and managed to slam it past Lukas Dostal as he was falling down to open the scoring in the first period. Pacioretty then got his second of the game on a tip-in in the second to push the score to 3-1. The points were Pacioretty's first in three games since his return from a month's absence due to injury. He's a fantasy asset, even in his age-36 season, and he's worth considering as a pickup.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Exits after first period
Stolarz (lower body) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Ducks.
Stolarz was able to play one period, but he was removed at the start of the middle frame. He allowed one goal on eight shots prior to his departure. An update on his status should be available before Saturday's game in Detroit. The Maple Leafs have a back-to-back this weekend, so they may need to call up a goalie.

Maple Leafs' Jake McCabe: Playing versus Ducks
McCabe (upper body) will be in the lineup against Anaheim on Thursday, Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun reports.
McCabe will be back in the lineup after missing the previous five games due to his upper-body injury. Prior to his absence, the blueliner was stuck in an 11-game pointless streak dating back to Nov. 2 versus St. Louis. After scoring eight goals over 73 regular-season games last year, the Wisconsin native has yet to find the back of the net this year.

Maple Leafs' Bobby McMann: Targeting Saturday return
McMann (lower body) is reportedly close to getting back in the lineup and could be an option versus the Red Wings on Saturday, Joshua Kloke of The Athletic reports.
McMann's timeline will rule him out versus the Ducks on Thursday, but it seems like he should be back in action sooner rather than later. Prior to getting hurt, the 28-year-old forward managed just four points in 18 games while putting 44 shots on net. Once back in the lineup, McMann will likely take on a bottom-six role, which could mean a return to the minors for Fraser Minten.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Facing Ducks
Stolarz will be between the home pipes versus Anaheim on Thursday, according to David Alter of The Hockey News.
Stolarz was sensational Tuesday, as he turned aside 38 shots in a 2-1 overtime win over New Jersey. The victory raised his record to 9-5-2, but he has been even better than that, as his peripherals are top-three in the NHL. He has a 2.13 GAA and a .928 save percentage across 16 appearances this season. The Ducks are scoring a paltry 2.37 goals per game in 2024-25.
