Muzzin (concussion) has been cleared for contact and is "really close" to returning, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Muzzin will likely need to log a few full practices before rejoining the lineup, but he should be back in action sooner rather than later. The 33-year-old defender has been sidelined for over five weeks with a concussion, so his minutes might be managed initially once he's given the green light to play.

Muzzin (concussion) remains without a timetable for his return, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Muzzin has yet to be cleared for contact, and at this point it wouldn't be surprising to see him miss the rest of the regular season and perhaps beyond. The 33-year-old defender has been sidelined since Feb. 21 due to a concussion.

Muzzin (concussion) practiced with the team Thursday but isn't expected back for at least another week, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Muzzin has been sidelined since Feb. 21 versus Montreal due to his concussion problems. The 33-year-old defenseman has managed just 12 points this year but should still be able to reach the 20-point threshold for the ninth time in his NHL career, making him a decent mid-range fantasy target.

Muzzin (concussion) was placed on long-term injured reserve Wednesday, per CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
Muzzin will be forced to miss 10 games and 24 days while recovering from his concussion. The Maple Leafs have made a sequence of paper transactions to maximize their cap benefit, and it'll likely be Rasmus Sandin and Timothy Liljegren who pick up most of the slack in Muzzin's absence. He'll be eligible to return March 26 versus the Canadiens.

Muzzin (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, per David Alter of The Hockey News.
EDGE Analysis
Muzzin departed Monday's loss to Montreal early due to an undisclosed injury. His placement on injured reserve comes with a minimum seven-day absence and as a result, he will be ineligible to participate until the game against Buffalo on March 2. The 33-year-old has averaged 21:00 of ice time and tallied 12 points over 41 games this season.

Muzzin is in concussion protocol but has already returned home to Toronto, Jonas Siegel of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Head coach Sheldon Keefe said that the team will be "patient" as Muzzin recovers from his concussion, so he'll be considered out indefinitely. The 33-year-old has 12 points and a minus-8 rating through 41 games this season. With Muzzin out, Ilya Lyubushkin will make his Maple Leafs debut Tuesday against Columbus.

Muzzin (undisclosed) will stay in Montreal for additional observation after suffering an injury Monday, James Mirtle of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
This essentially rules Muzzin out for Tuesday's game in Columbus, as expected. He'll likely return to Toronto in the next few days and a better outlook on his situation could be available as early as Tuesday.

Muzzin (undisclosed) left Monday's game against Montreal and will not return.
EDGE Analysis
Muzzin was involved in a nasty collision in the second period and he appeared to hit his head off the ice. His status for Tuesday's tilt against Columbus is certainly in doubt right now. An update on his status should be available in the coming days.

Muzzin scored a goal, logged three hits, blocked two shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Monday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Muzzin tallied late in the third period, so his goal wasn't that important in a fairly dominant win. It was his first point in three games after he missed seven to a concussion. The 32-year-old is more of a defensive blueliner -- he's at 12 points, 54 shots on net, 79 hits, 51 blocks and a minus-3 rating in 38 contests this season.

Muzzin (concussion) is ready to return and will play Thursday in Calgary, Joshua Kloke of The Athletic Toronto reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran blueliner has sat out the last seven contests, so he'll be a welcomed return to the Leafs' lineup. Muzzin's 11 points in 35 games won't exactly lead you to a fantasy title, but his occasional offense with defensive contributions (74 hits, 45 blocked shots) make him a worthy activation in some deeper formats and matchup-based DFS scenarios.
