Reaves notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Bruins in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

Reaves had a goal in the regular-season finale and now has points in back-to-back contests for the first time since March of 2023. The 37-year-old winger produced just six points with 165 hits and 49 PIM over 49 regular-season appearances. He'll be on the fourth line when in the lineup, and his offensive contributions are likely to be limited.

Reaves (eye) will play Saturday against Edmonton, according to NHL.com's Dave McCarthy.

EDGE Analysis

Reaves missed Wednesday's 7-3 win over Washington due to the injury. He has three goals, four points, 39 PIM and 125 hits in 39 appearances in 2023-24. Reaves' return corresponds with Tyler Bertuzzi exiting the lineup Saturday due to an illness.

Reaves sustained an undisclosed injury in his fight against Nicolas Deslauriers during Tuesday's game versus the Flyers, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear what caused Reaves' exit from the contest, though it would likely be some sort of upper-body issue given the circumstances. The 37-year-old winger took just two shifts Tuesday. If he can't play Wednesday versus the Capitals, Noah Gregor would likely draw into the lineup.

EDGE Analysis

Reaves has played in seven of the Maple Leafs' nine games in February, and his helper Thursday was his first point of the month. The 37-year-old winger has offered little offense with three points through 29 outings, and he's added 85 hits, 24 PIM, 14 shots on net and a minus-11 rating. When Reaves is in the lineup, he almost exclusively plays on the fourth line.

Reaves (lower body) may play Saturday against Winnipeg, The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Calle Jarnkrok took a shot off his left hand at practice Friday afternoon, and he slammed his glove down as he headed to the dressing room. The Leafs may need to put Reaves into the lineup Saturday in his hometown against the Jets. If so, it would be the rugged winger's first appearance since Dec. 14. Reaves' career appears to be at a crossroads. He's been healthy for weeks, but the Leafs haven't dressed him and don't seem interested in playing him. Reaves was a liability on the ice before the knee injury that knocked him out in December, even in minimal ice time. He is 37 and has two more years on a contract worth $1.35 million per year.

Reaves (lower body) was activated from injured reserve Tuesday, according to Jonas Siegel of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Reaves, who has missed the past 18 games, could return to the lineup Wednesday against Winnipeg. Tyler Bertuzzi was added to the non-roster list in a corresponding move to be with his wife to await the birth of their child. The 37-year-old Reaves has one goal, 44 hits and 16 PIM in 21 appearances this season.

Reaves (lower body) was put on long-term injured reserve Saturday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

Reaves will miss at least 10 games and 24 days following his placement on LTIR. The 36-year-old winger has one goal, 10 shots on net, 16 PIM and 44 hits in 21 appearances this season. The Maple Leafs recalled Pontus Holmberg from AHL Toronto on Saturday to serve as an extra forward during Reaves' absence.

Reaves (lower body) will miss time with the injury he sustained Thursday versus the Blue Jackets, David Alter of Sports Illustrated reports.

EDGE Analysis

A specific timeline isn't known, but Reaves' injury looked significant when it happened. The 36-year-old's absence opens the door for Matthew Knies (illness) to get back in the lineup when he's ready. The Maple Leafs may also call up a forward from AHL Toronto for depth.

Reaves (lower body) won't finish Thursday's game versus the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Reaves caught a rut in the ice and went down awkwardly in the first period, ultimately needing assistance to exit to the locker room. The severity of his injury may not be known until he's fully evaluated by the medical staff. If he can't play Saturday versus the Penguins, Matthew Knies (illness) could join the lineup or the Maple Leafs could opt for playing seven defensemen.
