Marner logged two shots on goal and three hits in 19:26 of ice time in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Marner's first game since Dec. 1 was a lopsided win for the Maple Leafs, but he wasn't able to get on the scoresheet. The 24-year-old saw first-line usage despite the big lead, so fantasy managers should have no doubts about activating him. He's at six goals and 15 helpers through 25 contests this year.

Marner (shoulder) will be activated off long-term injured reserve and return to the lineup for Saturday night's matchup with Ottawa, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marner is expected to return to a featured role following his six-game absence, skating on the Maple Leafs' top line and first power-play unit versus the Senators. The 24-year-old forward has racked up 21 points through 24 contests this campaign.

Marner (shoulder) practiced on the first line Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Marner looks ready to return for the Leafs' next game, but there's still no formal word on his return date. Take the chance and activate him for Saturday's home date with the Sens.

Marner (shoulder) was at practice Sunday, per NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Marner has been out since suffering an injury during practice on Dec. 3. The star forward has 21 points through 24 games this season. He'll be eligible to return as early as Wednesday against the Penguins but it's unclear when the team expects him to be game-ready.

Marner (shoulder) was moved to long-term injured reserve Saturday, CapFriendly reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marner has missed the last four games with the injury and will be out until at least Dec. 27. He's racked up 21 points in 24 games and will surely be missed by the Leafs and fantasy managers alike.

Marner is expected to be sidelined 3-4 weeks due to a shoulder injury for which he underwent an MRI, Kristen Shilton of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Based on his timeline, Marner is likely out until January, which will see him unavailable for at least the next 10 contests. Prior to getting hurt, the Ontario native was rolling with two goals and four assists in his last five outings. In Marner's stead, Wayne Simmonds will get the first crack at a top-line role with Auston Matthews while Ondrej Kase links up with the No. 1 power-play unit.

Marner (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The Maple Leafs have yet to release an expected timetable for Marner's return, but he'll miss Tuesday's game versus the Blue Jackets at a minimum. With Marner on the shelf, look for Jason Spezza or Alex Steeves to enter the lineup against Columbus.

Marner (undisclosed) won't play Sunday versus the Jets, Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun and Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman report.

EDGE Analysis

Marner's absence is considered precautionary after he collided with Jake Muzzin at practice Friday. Marner's next chance to return is Tuesday versus the Blue Jackets.

Marner (undisclosed) didn't skate in warmups, indicating he'll miss Saturday's game versus the Wild, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marner's absence is a big one for the Leafs, but they'll at least get Ondrej Kase (upper body) back. Marner will need a quick turnaround to be ready for Sunday versus the Jets.

Marner left Friday's practice session for precautionary reasons. The center will travel with the team for Saturday's matchup with Minnesota and will be reevaluated prior to puck drop, Jonas Siegel of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

While it's good news that Marner's potential injury isn't serious, his absence would significantly impact the Leafs' lineup considering he has tallied six goals and 15 assists in 24 games this year. In the event Marner can't play Saturday, William Nylander would be the most likely candidate to replace him on the top line, though Pierre Engvall could also be in the mix.
