Mikheyev (thumb) will miss Saturday's clash with Chicago, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mikheyev has yet to get into a game for the Leafs this season and will have to be sidelined for at least one more clash. Once the 27-year-old winger is given the green light to play, he should be in contention for a top-six role and could still have time to reach the 20-point threshold this year.
