Head coach Mike Babcock proclaimed that Muzzin (undisclosed) is unavailable for Thursday's home clash against the Lightning, Kristen Shilton of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Muzzin was a late scratch for Tuesday's game against Carolina, and will be held out another game. With the third seed in the Atlantic Division wrapped up, rest could be the underlying reason for his absence. Muzzin has 37 points in 80 games this campaign, but Martin Marincin should likely continue fill in for Muzzin on the blueline.

Muzzin (undisclosed) was absent from warmups and won't play in Tuesday's game versus the Hurricanes, Kristen Shilton of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear if Muzzin's injury is serious, but the Maple Leafs look locked into the No. 3 spot in the Atlantic Division so they don't want to risk anything. Muzzin's next chance to enter the lineup will be Thursday versus the Lightning. Martin Marincin will fill in on defense for the time being.

Muzzin (illness) will suit up for Monday's tilt against the Islanders, Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old was a game-time call but will be in action as Toronto looks to clinch its postseason berth. Muzzin scored four goals and nine points in 14 games during March.

Muzzin is under the weather and will be a game-time decision versus the Islanders on Monday, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Since joining the Leafs via trade, Muzzin tallied five goals and 11 helpers in 29 outings. The blueliner should continue to log over 21 minutes per game once he is cleared to return. If Muzzin can't suit up Monday, Calle Rosen figures to slot into the lineup against New York.

Muzzin scored two goals and added a power-play assist in Friday's 7-6 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

He scored twice in 123 seconds near the end of the second period with the Leafs down 5-2 to kickstart the team's comeback. Muzzin now has four goals and 14 points in 22 games since the trade that brought him east from Los Angeles.

Muzzin scored the game-winning goal Saturday in a 3-2 win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Muzzin has really poured on the gas lately -- he has seven points (one goal, six assists) in his last eight games. It must be refreshing to play with so many offensive studs in Toronto. Take advantage.

Muzzin provided a pair of helpers in Monday's 6-2 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Muzzin has six assists in his last six games, as well as 15 hits and 9 blocked shots in that span. He's done well with 10 points in 17 contests since being traded from the Kings, giving him 31 points in 67 games overall this season. With 150 hits and 120 blocks to his name, he can provide plenty of value to fantasy defense groups in a variety of formats.

Muzzin snagged an assist, two blocked shots, three hits and four shots on goal in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Muzzin escaped the barren scoring environment of Los Angeles, with the two-way defenseman having recorded a goal and six helpers over 14 games in Toronto's punchy attack. The man from Woodstock, Ontario hasn't been much of a factor on the power play this season -- one goal and two helpers in that spot between the Kings and Leafs -- but he's not afraid to mash (142 hits) or jump into the line of fire (116 blocked shots). Keep Muzzin in mind when you need a DFS blueliner without having to break the bank.

Muzzin and Morgan Rielly were split up during Tuesday's win over Colorado and practiced on different pairings at practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Muzzin practised with Nikita Zaitsev on Wednesday, while Ron Hainsey slotted back up with Rielly. Of course, Twitter exploded afterward with criticism of coach Mike Babcock. It remains to be seen if this is the new normal, a method to limit Jake Gardiner's exposure or a showcase of Zaitsev, who might be trade bait. Muzzin has logged heavy ice with the Leafs, but hasn't put up any points in his last four games.

Muzzin will prepare for his 500th career contest Wednesday evening against the Senators, Dave McCarthy of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With one-and-a-half seasons left on his five-year contract with the Kings, Muzzin was sent to the contending Maple Leafs on Jan. 28. He has looked quite comfortable with his new team, chipping in a goal, two helpers, five blocked shots and six hits over a three-game span. The skilled two-way defenseman has 52 goals and 164 assists in his eight-year career. Expect his offensive production to climb steadily now that he's on a Toronto team with the league's fourth-best offense.
