Lupul (sports hernia) is currently able to participate in light training activities and is expected to return in time for 2016-17 training camp, Dhiren Mahiban of Yahoo! Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lupul made just 46 appearances this season before suffering a sports hernia in early February. He still has two years remaining on his current contract with Toronto and figures to take on a similar role with the team during the 2016-17 campaign while playing on the wing.

Lupul (abdomen) will miss the remainder of the season, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lupul will undergo surgery to repair a sports hernia, and will be shut down for the remainder of the season as a result. There's no reason for the Maple Leafs to rush Lupul back, as they've been out of the playoff hunt for quite some time, and would be wise to use the final 24 games of the season to evaluate the young talent within their organization. 2015-16 was another relatively disappointing campaign for Lupul, as he finished the season with just 14 points (11 goals, three assists) in 46 games. The 32-year-old winger should be ready for the start of next season's training camp.

Lupul will not travel with the team out west on the upcoming road trip due to a middle-body injury, Rob Langley of the Toronto Sun reports. The NHL Media site also indicates that he's been placed on injured reserve.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear exactly when Lupul sustained the mid-body injury, but it will likely cost him at least four games. He'll first be eligible to return Feb. 15 against the Blackhawks, but there's no guarantee he will be healthy at that point. The team should continue to update his status as the winger nears a potential return to the lineup, but the Leafs recalled three forwards to add some extra depth in the meantime.

Lupul scored his first goal in 12 games in Tuesday's win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

It's just his third goal in 21 games. Well, it's actually just his third point in the same number of games. Loops has struggled to put up numbers this season, so we're not hopeful this is a sign of anything. But maybe, just maybe, the monkey is off his back. It still doesn't make him worthy of activation -- Lupul registered a minus-8 rating in those 21 games.

Lupul (lower body) will return to the lineup Tuesday night versus the Lightning, Jonas Siegel of TSN 1050 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lupul missed the past five games with the lower-body ailment. The crafty winger is streaky when it comes to offensive production, though he does already have eight goals on the season.

Lupul (lower body) took part in practice Monday but his status remains uncertain, David Alter of the National Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lupul has missed five consecutive games with the lower-body injury, but it appears he may be ready to return in time for Tuesday's tilt against the Lightning. At this point though, it doesn't look as though the team will have a definitive update on his status until shortly before puck drop.

Lupul (lower body) is expected to practice with the team Thursday and return to game action sometime next week, Jonas Siegel of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lupul has missed Toronto's last five games, but an unusual week off in the Leaf's schedule may prevent him from missing any more. The 32-year old's play has improved from last year, as he currently possesses a full season 28-goal scoring pace this season after scoring 10 goals in 55 games last year.

Lupul (lower body) will miss Tuesday's game against the Devils, Jonas Siegel of TSN 1050 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lupul continues to recover from injury and has not played in a game since Nov. 28. It is unclear at this time when he will return. The 32-year-old veteran's next chance to return to the ice will be Dec. 15 when Toronto hosts the Lightning.

Lupul (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Lupul was held out of Monday's game against the Oilers with a lower-body injury, and will now miss the Maple Leafs' next three contests after being placed on injured reserve Tuesday. The 32-year-old winger, who has tallied 11 points (eight goals, three assists) in 23 games this season, will be eligible to return to action next Tuesday against New Jersey if healthy.

Lupul will miss Monday's game against the Oilers due to some nagging injuries, Jonas Siegel of TSN 1050 reports.

EDGE Analysis

It doesn't sound as though it's any major issue for Lupul, but the bumps and bruises he's dealing will be enough to hold him out Monday. Daniel Winnik appears the likely candidate to join the lineup in his place, making Lupul's next chance to play Wednesday against the Jets.
