Mikheyev (undisclosed) will be questionable for Tuesday's tilt with the Canucks, Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mikheyev has appeared in all 45 games so far this season, scoring six goals and 15 points with a plus-2 rating. It appears that he'll be a game-time decision for Tuesday's game.

Mikheyev scored a goal and added an assist Saturday in a 6-5 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Mikheyev stepped onto the second line with John Tavares and Zach Hyman because lines were shuffled to address the absence of William Nylander (COVID-19 protocols). He showed off the skills he flashed last season and is clearly a solid fantasy play while Nylander is out.

Mikheyev has just two points -- both goals -- in his last nine games.
EDGE Analysis
Mikheyev has taken a significant step backwards, at least in terms of his production. His 10 points (five goals, five assists) in 34 games pales to his rookie work of 23 points in 39 games. Mikheyev has performed well in a defensive role and been a versatile on-ice presence. But until the Leafs are able to consistently deploy him in the top-six, something he's unlikely to see any time soon, Mikheyev isn't much help in fantasy.

Mikheyev collected an assist, three shots on goal and three hits in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Mikheyev has gotten on the scoresheet in each of the last three contests. The 26-year-old winger is up to eight points, 48 shots on net and 23 hits through 25 contests. He's worth a look for DFS while he's hot, but season-long fantasy managers can likely pass him by for now.

Mikheyev notched a goal on two shots and had a pair of hits in Wednesday's 6-1 win over Edmonton.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old sophomore found a rebound in front and swept a backhander past Edmonton goalie Mike Smith to extend Toronto's second-period advantage to 4-0. It was the third goal of the season for Mikheyev, who skated on Toronto's third line with Zach Hyman and Pierre Engvall.

Mihkeyev produced an assist and four shots on goal in Monday's 3-0 win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Mikheyev had the secondary assist on the opening tally by Zach Hyman. The 26-year-old Mikheyev snapped a four-game point drought with the helper. The Russian winger hasn't found much scoring consistency in his third-line role -- he has six points and 43 shots on net in 23 appearances.

Mikheyev scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Mikheyev was one of three Maple Leafs skaters to get their first goal of the year -- Travis Dermott and Justin Holl scored prior to Mikheyev's game-winner in the third period. The 26-year-old Mihkeyev now has four points, 23 shots on net and a 11 hits through 14 appearances. The tally was the Russian's first since Dec. 27, 2019 -- he missed a large chunk of last season due to a severe wrist injury.

Mikheyev notched an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Mikheyev set up Alex Kerfoot at 9:33 of the third period, just 11 seconds after Auston Matthews' go-ahead goal. It's been a slow start to the year for Mikheyev, who has only three assists to go with 20 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating in 13 appearances.

Mikheyev has two assists and 16 shots, but no goals, in the first 10 games of the season.
EDGE Analysis
He is the only Leafs forward that has played in every game that is without a goal so far. Mikheyev is big and fast, so he can use those tools to draw penalties and force the play. The goals should come -- he had eight in 39 games last year before suffered that gruesome wrist injury. But Mikheyev was also spending time on the second line then -- the Leafs' top six is a crowded place for a forward that isn't producing.
