Marner scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Bruins in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

Marner snapped a five-game goal drought with his third-period tally, but the Maple Leafs couldn't make a rally out of it. He's picked up just two points with seven shots on net, six hits and a plus-1 rating over four playoff contests, which is not enough production from one of the team's core players. Marner remains in a top-six role, but Toronto will need more out of him to keep its season alive beyond Tuesday's Game 5.

Marner had a goal and two assists in a 5-4 overtime loss to Detroit on Saturday.

The Leafs have three games remaining, but the team brain trust may rest the star winger to ensure the best health possible heading into the postseason.

EDGE Analysis

It was his first game back since March 7 after suffering his ankle injury. Marner scored two shots in 17:20. Get him back in your lineup. Yes, Marner will be working off the rust over the Leafs final six games, but he's a fantasy star.

Marner (ankle) was activated from long-term injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Marner will return to the lineup Saturday against Montreal following a 12-game absence. He has 25 goals and 76 points over 62 outings in 2023-24. Rather than initially resume his regular role on the top line with Auston Matthews, Marner is projected to play alongside Bobby McMann and John Tavares versus the Canadiens.

Marner (ankle) is at practice Friday and is expected to rejoin the lineup Saturday in Montreal, Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marner is back in his spot on the first power play at practice, which is a good indication that he's ready to return. He's racked up 25 goals and 76 points in 62 games this season. Look for Marner to be activated off long-term injured reserve and return to his usual featured role against the Canadiens following his 12-game absence.

Marner (ankle) might be available against the Canadiens on Saturday, Jonas Siegel of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Marner won't be an option to face the Lightning on Wednesday, he appears to be close to returning to action. If the 26-year-old winger can't play Saturday, his next opportunity would be a clash with the Penguins on Monday. Prior to getting hurt, Marner was red hot with 19 points in his last 12 outings, including seven with the man advantage. In order to play, Marner will need to be activated off long-term injured reserve.

Marner (ankle) was put on long-term injured reserve Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The move is retroactive to March 5 and was needed as the Maple Leafs recalled defenseman Marshall Rifai from AHL Toronto. Marner is still eligible to return to the lineup Monday versus Florida, but he is likely going to need more time to recover. He has 25 goals and 76 points in 62 games in 2023-24.

Marner (ankle) -- who had previously been ruled out versus the Sabres on Saturday -- won't be available against the Panthers on Monday either, Mark Masters of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Leafs clearly aren't rushing Marner back onto the ice, preferring to get him some additional practice time before thrusting him back into the lineup. If he comes through Tuesday's practice unscathed, the winger may be ready to suit up when Toronto squares off with Tampa Bay on Wednesday. Bobby McMann should continue to fill a top-six role without Marner in the lineup.

Marner (ankle) will not play either Thursday or Saturday against the Capitals or Sabres, respectively, but he'll practice Friday, Mark Masters of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Still, with two more matches on the shelf, the 26-year-old winger's missed game total will increase to 10 due to his ankle problem. Prior to getting hurt, Marner was rolling with 19 points in his previous 12 games, including seven power-play points.
