Pacioretty (undisclosed) skated Thursday, per David Alter of The Hockey News.

EDGE Analysis

The Maple Leafs did not practice Thursday. Pacioretty sat out Wednesday's practice with coach Craig Berube saying that the winger tweaked something. Pacioretty did not respond well after practice and it's looking doubtful that he can return to action this weekend. The 36-year-old has been a disappointment offensively this season with only five goals and eight assists over 37 appearances with the Maple Leafs.

Pacioretty missed Wednesday's practice because he tweaked something, head coach Craig Berube told David Alter of The Hockey News.

EDGE Analysis

Berube doesn't believe it's serious, but he didn't have a full update, Pacioretty should be regarded as day-to-day for now. If the 36-year-old Pacioretty isn't an option Saturday versus Carolina, then Ryan Reaves might draw back into the lineup.

Pacioretty logged an assist, two shots on goal and four hits in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

This was Pacioretty's third game back after a three-game absence due to an upper-body injury. The 36-year-old forward has filled a middle-six role lately, though he's no lock to stay in the lineup, as the Maple Leafs haven't hesitated to give him rest at times this season. Pacioretty has contributed 13 points, 66 shots on net, 99 hits and a minus-1 rating over 35 appearances.

Pacioretty (upper body) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Wild, NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pacioretty was expected to return from a three-game absence Wednesday, and he's officially been cleared to suit up at home against Minnesota. The 36-year-old has been held without a point in each of his last eight appearances, and he's recorded 17 hits, two blocked shots, two PIM and a minus-6 rating while averaging 13:23 of ice time across that span.

Pacioretty (upper body) is slated to return to the lineup versus Minnesota on Wednesday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The final step in Pacioretty's return to play will be his activation off injured reserve, which will likely come Wednesday sometime before puck drop. In addition to slotting into a third-line role, Pacioretty practiced with the No. 1 power-play unit. Prior to his stint on IR, the 36-year-old winger was stuck in an eight-game pointless streak in addition to a 12-game goal drought.

Pacioretty (upper body) was put on injured reserve Wednesday, retroactive to Jan. 18.

EDGE Analysis

Pacioretty has five goals and 12 points across 32 appearances in 2024-25. Toronto summoned Jacob Quillan from the minors in a corresponding move. When Pacioretty is back to full health, he'll likely serve in a bottom-six capacity.

Pacioretty (upper body) won't play Wednesday versus the Blue Jackets, according to David Alter of The Hockey News.

EDGE Analysis

Pacioretty did not suit up in Monday's 5-3 win over Tampa Bay. The left-shot winger was struck in the head by a puck Saturday against the Canadiens, but he was able to finish that contest. Pacioretty's next chance to return to the lineup will come in Ottawa on Saturday.

Pacioretty (upper body) was absent from the morning skate and likely won't play against Tampa Bay on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Pacioretty got hit in the head by a puck in Toronto's 7-3 win over Montreal on Saturday. He stayed in the game, finishing with three shots on goal and four hits in 10:19 of ice time. Based on the morning skate, Fraser Minten and Connor Dewar will replace Pacioretty and Ryan Reaves, a healthy scratch, in Monday's lineup.

Pacioretty tallied an assist, a plus-1 rating and two shots during Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Pacioretty found Simon Benoit at the point who directed a shot close enough for John Tavares to tip in to open the scoring for the Maple Leafs. The 36-year-old winger has helpers in consecutive games and is currently enjoying a prime assignment on the top line alongside John Tavares and Mitch Marner. Needless to say, Pacioretty could have some solid fantasy upside if he can hang onto such a prominent role once Auston Matthews (upper body) returns and is worth fantasy managers keeping an eye on.

Pacioretty scored a goal on four shots in Friday's 6-3 win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Pacioretty put a goal past James Reimer midway through the second period. It was Pacioretty's first time on the scoresheet since his three-point effort Dec. 12 versus the Ducks. The 36-year-old winger is at five goals, five assists, 38 shots on net, 58 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-5 rating through 20 appearances, adding a bit of grit and scoring in a second-line role.
