Maple Leafs' Chris Tanev: Puts up helper in overtime win
Tanev logged an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Devils.
Tanev snapped a four-game point drought with the helper. The 35-year-old defenseman has four assists over his last nine outings, a rare run of decent offense. He remains in a top-four role with 14 points, 23 shots on net, 123 blocked shots and a plus-16 rating over 45 appearances. He has a chance to top the 20-point mark for the first time since 2021-22.

Maple Leafs' Bobby McMann: Contributes helper
McMann notched an assist and two hits in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Devils.
The helper ended a six-game slump for McMann. That's a large step back for the winger, who racked up six goals and four assists over nine contests between Dec. 15 and Jan. 2. The 28-year-old is at 18 points, 89 shots on net, 64 hits and a plus-6 rating through 38 appearances this season. McMann continues to see middle-six minutes.

Maple Leafs' Max Domi: Earns 300th career assist
Domi logged an assist in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Devils.
The helper was Domi's 300th career assist. That's not the only milestone he'll reach in January -- assuming he suits up Saturday in Montreal, he'll play in his 700th game. The 29-year-old has three helpers over eight outings this month, but he could see an uptick in offense while filling in on the second line for John Tavares (lower body). Domi has 16 points, 55 shots on net and 32 PIM over 38 appearances this season.

Maple Leafs' Mitch Marner: Playmaking maestro at it again
Marner delivered two assists in a 4-3 overtime win over New Jersey on Thursday.
He also delivered four hits. Marner's pass to spring William Nylander on a breakaway for the OT winner was classic Mitch -- he wired it from behind his own blue line and threaded it right on Willie's stick at the offensive blue line. Nylander did the rest. Marner has just one goal in his last 10 games, but his 12 assists have helped lead the way for the Leafs. Overall, he leads Toronto in scoring with 62 points in 46 games, and he's second in assists in the NHL (48), behind Nathan MacKinnon, who has 55. Marner is the sixth skater in Leafs' history to reach 700 points in blue and white and the fastest to reach the milestone (622 games). He passed Darryl Sittler, who reached 700 in 666 games.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: First win in three games
Woll made 21 saves Thursday in a 4-3 overtime win over New Jersey.
It was his first win in three games, a span in which he hadn't recorded a save percentage (by game) of more than .875. Woll is talented, but the workload in Toronto is heavy without Anthony Stolarz (knee) to provide balance, and it's starting to show in Woll's performance. Stolarz was on the ice Thursday doing some movement exercises, but there's still no timetable for his return. Woll is a solid option in your net, but watch the fatigue factor. He has 23 starts this season and has never had more than 32 starts as a pro. His college career saw him log just 30-37 games per season.

Maple Leafs' Jake McCabe: Category coverage in return from IR
McCabe (upper body) returned to action Thursday in a 4-3 overtime win over the Devils. He played a game-high 24:16 and had two assists, two hits, five shots, five blocked shots and a plus-3 rating.
McCabe spent four games on injured reserve after an upper-body injury that occurred in a fight. He made a big impact on the blue line and in fantasy box scores. McCabe has just 13 points, including 12 assists, in 37 games this season. Points aren't really a guarantee with the defender, but those secondary stats of hits and blocks are a valuable fantasy commodity.

Maple Leafs' Auston Matthews: Points in 10 of last 11 games
Matthews scored twice, once on the power play, on five shots in a 4-3 overtime win over the Devils on Thursday.
Matthews has put up points in 10 of his last 11 games (eight goals, seven assists), and he has 17 goals and 17 assists in 31 games this season. Matthews' pace is quickening, which spells good things for your second half.

Maple Leafs' William Nylander: Offensive outburst includes winner
Nylander scored twice, including the game-winning goal, and added an assist in Thursday's 4-3 overtime victory over New Jersey.
The winner was pure Willie magic -- he had just come over the boards and took a stretch pass from Mitch Marner at the offensive blue line, and he wired the puck past Jacob Markstrom's glove on a breakaway. Nylander had been in a bit of a goal slump with just one in his last 11 games (five assists), so this was a great rebound for one of the chillest stars in the league. He also had four shots.

Maple Leafs' Jake McCabe: Returning against Devils
McCabe (upper body) will be in the lineup versus New Jersey on Thursday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
McCabe will return following a four-game stint on injured reserve due to his upper-body issue. Prior to his absence, the 31-year-old blueliner was offering decent offensive production with six points in his prior 13 outings -- far better than his 11-game pointless streak in November. With McCabe back in the lineup, Simon Benoit figures to be relegated to a spot in the press box.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Slated to start Thursday
Woll went through his regular game-day routine and is expected to be between the home pipes versus New Jersey on Thursday, according to David Alter of The Hockey News.
Woll has struggled in his last two starts, allowing nine goals on only 56 shots (.839 save percentage) en route to back-to-back losses. Overall, the netminder is 14-8-0 with one shutout, a 2.65 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 22 starts this season. The Devils are averaging 3.11 goals per game during the 2024-25 campaign, which ranks 11th in the NHL.

Maple Leafs' John Tavares: Lands on injured reserve
Tavares was placed on injured reserve Thursday with a lower-body injury.
Tavares was hurt during Wednesday's practice session and appears to have suffered a significant injury. In addition to placing the veteran center on IR, the Leafs announced that he is week-to-week moving forward. In a corresponding move, Fraser Minten was recalled from AHL Toronto, while Max Domi could slide into Tavares' second-line role.

Maple Leafs' Fraser Minten: Called up from AHL
Minten was recalled from AHL Toronto on Thursday.
The Maple Leafs placed John Tavares (lower body) on injured reserve in a corresponding move. Minten had two goals and two assists over 11 games in an earlier stint with Toronto. He had five goals and 10 points across 16 AHL appearances before his recall. Look for Minten to have a middle-six role when the Leafs host New Jersey on Thursday.

Maple Leafs' Jake McCabe: Status uncertain for Thursday
McCabe (upper body) said Wednesday that his status for Thursday's home game against New Jersey will be a coach's decision, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
McCabe has been sidelined for the past week and a half due to his upper-body injury, but he appears to be trending toward a return. While it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Thursday's matchup against the Devils, the Maple Leafs also have games against the Canadiens on Saturday and against Tampa Bay on Monday, and he'll likely be in the mix to return in those games if he isn't given the green light against New Jersey.

Maple Leafs' John Tavares: Being evaluated for injury
Tavares (undisclosed) exited Wednesday's practice early and is being evaluated, per David Alter of The Hockey News.
Tavares is one of Toronto's top forwards with 20 goals and 42 points in 44 appearances in 2024-25. If he can't play Thursday versus New Jersey, then Max Domi might shift to the second line alongside Max Pacioretty and William Nylander. Tavares' absence might also result in Morgan Rielly serving on the top power-play unit as opposed to his projected position on the second group.

Maple Leafs' Marshall Rifai: Returns to minors
Rifai was reassigned to AHL Toronto on Wednesday.
Rifai hasn't appeared in a game for the Maple Leafs yet in 2024-25, but he has been up with the NHL squad on occasion to provide depth. He has two goals, four points and 24 PIM in 26 appearances in the AHL this season.

Maple Leafs' Auston Matthews: Nine points in last six games
Matthews scored Toronto's only goal in a 4-1 loss to Dallas.
He opened the scoring with a rip high blocker on Jake Oettinger that was impossible to stop. Matthews has nine points (four goals, five assists) in his last six games since he returned from injury. That increases his season total to 15 goals, 17 assists and 116 shots in 30 games. You can expect Matthews' goal scoring to further increase given his somewhat flat 12.9 shooting percentage, which is below his 16.0 career mark. Buckle up.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Two losses in row
Woll made 19 saves Tuesday in a 4-1 loss to Dallas.
He's lost two straight games and allowed nine goals in that span, and he's allowed four or more goals in three of his last four games. Woll continues to have solid upside, but the pressure of a heavy workload without the safety net of Anthony Stolarz (knee) seems to be weighing on him. The team has also lost three straight games for the first time since going 0-2-1 from Oct. 22-26. Woll plays behind a great team, so this minor skid will reverse very soon. Keep the faith.
