Rifai was recalled from AHL Toronto on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Rifai's promotion comes as Jake McCabe suffered an undisclosed injury against the Islanders on Saturday. Still, even if McCabe does miss time, the 27-year-old Rifai is far from a lock to step into the lineup, as he'll need to edge out the likes of Philippe Myers for playing time.

Rifai (wrist) was placed on waivers Sunday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rifai suffered a wrist injury during the preseason that required surgery in late September. Assuming he clears waivers, he will report to AHL Toronto.

Rifai (wrist) was reassigned to AHL Toronto on a conditioning assignment Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Rifai (wrist) could make his season debut Saturday against the Oilers, Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun reports Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Rifai is currently on long-term injured reserve, as he underwent wrist surgery during training camp. The 27-year-old blueliner played a pair of games with the Maple Leafs during the 2023-24 campaign, but he has otherwise been a career minor leaguer. The Maple Leafs are really hurting on the blue line, and they may be forced to use Rifai if Oliver Ekman-Larsson (lower body) is unable to play Saturday.

Rifai (wrist) landed on long-term injured reserve Monday, per PuckPedia.

EDGE Analysis

Rifai was injured in late September during preseason play and underwent wrist surgery as a result. The 27-year-old seemingly will not be ready to return any time soon, and he'll likely be reassigned to AHL Toronto once he's fully healthy.
