Pacioretty (lower body) is not at morning practice ahead of Thursday's tilt versus St. Louis, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pacioretty has to be considered questionable at this time. Should he be unable to go, look for David Kampf to get back into the lineup after being a healthy scratch Tuesday in Columbus. Pacioretty has a pair of goals in five games this season.

Pacioretty (lower body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear what led to Pacioretty's exit from the contest. The 35-year-old winger has two goals over five appearances with the Maple Leafs. Consider Pacioretty day-to-day heading into Thursday's game versus the Blues.

Pacioretty scored a goal in Monday's 5-2 win over the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Pacioretty didn't step on the ice in the previous two games, but he returned here and notched the Maple Leafs' fourth goal midway through the second period with a snap shot from long range. The 35-year-old veteran has scored two goals in four appearances this season, and he seems destined to surpass his woeful scoring figures from the previous two campaigns.

Pacioretty scored a goal in a 4-2 win over the Devils on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Pacioretty has always had great hands, and he showed them off Thursday. He fished the puck out of a sea of feet in front of the net and popped the puck into an open net from below the left circle. Pacioretty was on the third line with Nicholas Robertson and Pontus Holmberg, a trio that could provide surprising even-strength production for those in deep leagues.

Pacioretty signed a one-year, $873,770 contract with Toronto on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Pacioretty attended training camp with the Maple Leafs on a professional tryout, but it was expected from the beginning that he would sign a standard contract with the team. The 35-year-old forward registered four goals, 19 assists, 95 shots on net and 76 hits in 47 regular-season contests with Washington in 2023-24. If he can stay healthy, an issue that has plagued him over the last four campaigns, Pacioretty could be a productive member of Toronto's middle-six group in 2024-25. He should also see time on the power play.

Pacioretty signed a professional tryout agreement with Toronto on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Pacioretty was limited to just 47 regular-season games with the Capitals last season, recording four goals and 19 assists. If he can make the roster coming out of camp, the veteran winger could be an option with the man advantage, having notched 11 of his 23 points in that role last year. In addition, if Pacioretty can prove he is healthy, he could challenge the likes of Matthew Knies or Bobby McMann (knee) for a top-six role.

Pacioretty notched an assist in a 4-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 2 on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Pacioretty remains mired in a seven-game goal drought, having registered just one shot in each of his last five outings. If the veteran winger doesn't start shooting the puck more, his goal production will likely continue to be minimal. With Pacioretty still slumping, he's unlikely to push Aliaksei Protas for a top-six role.

Pacioretty recorded a power-play assist and added two shots during Monday's 5-2 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Pacioretty has picked up four assists -- two on the power play -- over his last nine games but continues to struggle to light the lamp with regularity like he did earlier in his career. The 35-year-old has a respectable 17 points in 32 contests after returning from an Achilles injury, and he garners enough time with the man advantage to warrant a look in deeper formats.

Pacioretty picked up two assists in Friday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran winger helped set up tallies by Sonny Milano in the second period and Dylan Strome in the third. It was Pacioretty's first multi-point performance since Jan. 18, but he did extend his current point streak to four games. Over the last 10 contests, he's put together a solid two goals and eight points.

Pacioretty registered an assist and added four shots and two hits during Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Pacioretty has not scored a goal since Jan. 11, but has mustered four assists over his last seven games as he works his way back from a significant Achilles injury. The 35-year-old could be on the move prior to the trade deadline if the Capitals continue to lose ground in the Eastern Conference playoff race which could enhance Pacioretty's fantasy value during the home stretch of the 2023-24 campaign.
