Dewar (upper body) has been ruled out for Sunday's road game against Chicago, Mark Masters of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although Dewar will sit out a ninth consecutive game Sunday, head coach Craig Berube said that the 25-year-old is ready to return. Dewar's next opportunity to suit up will be in Boston on Tuesday.

Dewar (upper body) will not play Saturday against the Hurricanes but could return Sunday against Chicago, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dewar's been sidelined with an upper-body injury since Jan. 22, though he's "close," according to coach Craig Berube. The 25-year-old Dewar has three assists in 29 games with Toronto this season.

Per David Alter of The Hockey News, the Maple Leafs placed Dewar (upper body) on injured reserve Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Dewar has only three helpers in 29 games this season. The fourth-line center has struggled all year, as he was behind the eight-ball after undergoing offseason shoulder surgery that cost him the first 16 games of the season. The Maple Leafs recalled Nikita Grebenkin from AHL Toronto in a corresponding move.

Dewar will not be in the lineup against Columbus on Wednesday due to an upper-body injury, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dewar is currently stuck in a season-long goal drought, going all 29 games without finding the back of the net. When he has played, the 25-year-old center managed just three helpers, 78 hits and 18 blocks while averaging a mere 10:07 of ice time. With Dewar out, in addition to Max Pacioretty (upper body), Ryan Reaves figures to see some additional minutes.

Dewar notched an assist and six hits in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Dewar has two helpers over his last four contests. The 25-year-old forward has also contributed 31 hits over his last six games, providing plenty of physicality in a fourth-line role. He's at three assists, 24 shots on net, 67 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 23 outings overall.

Dewar provided an assist and four hits in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Dewar ended a seven-game point drought that also saw him sit out twice as a healthy scratch. The 25-year-old has been limited to fourth-line duties this year, so it's unlikely he'll put up significant scoring numbers even at the best of times. He's logged two assists, 22 shots on net, 51 hits and a minus-1 rating through 20 appearances.

Dewar registered a shorthanded assist and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Dewar set up a Pontus Holmberg tally to tie the game at 1-1 midway through the third period. The helper was Dewar's first point in 12 appearances this season. The 25-year-old has filled a fourth-line role, adding physicality -- 27 hits and 10 blocked shots -- since he recovered from offseason shoulder surgery. Given his limited scoring upside, Dewar is not a strong option for fantasy managers.

Dewar (shoulder) was recalled from his conditioning stint with AHL Toronto and activated off long-term injured reserve Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Dewar's promotion and activation comes after Auston Matthews (upper body) was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move. Even with his return to the NHL roster, the 25-year-old Dewar is far from a lock to suit up against the Red Wings on Friday and may have to watch from the press box as a healthy scratch. Still, Dewar notched a goal and an assist during his conditioning assignment and could offer decent offensive upside in a bottom-six role if he can edge out Ryan Reaves, Steven Lorentz or David Kampf for a spot in the lineup.

Dewar (shoulder) was reassigned to AHL Toronto on a conditioning assignment Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Dewar figures to suit up for the Marlies in their matchup with AHL Cleveland on Saturday before potentially being called back up to the NHL roster. Once given the all-clear from his shoulder problem, Dewar should be in the mix for a spot in the Leafs' lineup -- though he may find himself periodically switching between the AHL and NHL.

Dewar (shoulder) was placed on long-term injured reserve Wednesday, PuckPedia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dewar was placed on injured reserve Monday while he continues to recover from offseason shoulder surgery, and he'll be unavailable for several weeks to begin the regular season after being transferred to long-term injured reserve. The 25-year-old skated with his teammates last week, but it's not yet clear when he'll be in the mix to return to game action.
