EDGE Analysis

Tavares saw 19:54 of ice time in his return from a lower-body injury that cost him six games. The 34-year-old center returned to his usual top-six role as well as a spot on the first power-play unit. Tavares is at 20 goals, 23 helpers, 125 shots on net, 57 hits and a plus-4 rating over 45 appearances. It's unclear if he'll be able to hover around a point-per-game pace the rest of the way, but he should give Toronto's offense a significant boost now that he's healthy again.

EDGE Analysis

Tavares resumed skating earlier this week and looks on track to return from a six-game absence. Matthew Knies (upper body) is also likely to return, so the Maple Leafs will need to make two roster moves to free up roster spots if both players are activated.

Head coach Craig Berube said Monday that Tavares (lower body) has resumed skating and will likely participate in a full practice soon, Joshua Kloke of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tavares has spent the last week and a half on injured reserve due to a lower-body injury, but Berube is optimistic that the 34-year-old could be back at practice in a full capacity by the end of the week. If Tavares can meet that timetable, it wouldn't be surprising to see him return to game action before the 4 Nations Face-Off.

EDGE Analysis

Tavares was hurt during Wednesday's practice session and appears to have suffered a significant injury. In addition to placing the veteran center on IR, the Leafs announced that he is week-to-week moving forward. In a corresponding move, Fraser Minten was recalled from AHL Toronto, while Max Domi could slide into Tavares' second-line role.

Tavares (undisclosed) exited Wednesday's practice early and is being evaluated, per David Alter of The Hockey News.

EDGE Analysis

Tavares is one of Toronto's top forwards with 20 goals and 42 points in 44 appearances in 2024-25. If he can't play Thursday versus New Jersey, then Max Domi might shift to the second line alongside Max Pacioretty and William Nylander. Tavares' absence might also result in Morgan Rielly serving on the top power-play unit as opposed to his projected position on the second group.
