Toffoli (hand) was activated off injured reserve and will play against Dallas on Tuesday, Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Toffoli will return from an 11-game absence and suit up for the first time since Dec. 4 after undergoing hand surgery. The 29-year-old winger has 17 points through 26 games this season, including a multi-assist performance in his last outing. He'll skate in a top-six role Tuesday.

Montreal head coach Dominique Ducharme indicated Toffoli (hand) could return to action Thursday in Las Vegas or Saturday in Colorado, Stu Cowan of the Montreal Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Toffoli practiced in a non-contact jersey Sunday and will not be available for games Monday (in Arizona) or Tuesday (in Dallas). He joined the team on the current seven-game road trip with the plan to play at some point.

Toffoli (hand) is expected to miss at least two more games but he is nearing a return.

EDGE Analysis

Toffoli could return as early as Thursday in Vegas but it's possible that he misses a few additional games. He's currently progressing faster than originally expected, as he was originally projected to return at some point in February. The 29-year-old winger scored 17 points through 26 games prior to the injury.

Toffoli (hand) was on the flight to Boston but will not play Wednesday night against the Bruins, Pat Hickey of the Montreal Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Both Toffoli and Josh Anderson (upper body) were on the flight and each should return to the active roster sometime next week. Toffoli has worn a non-contact jersey at practice this week and appears to be way ahead of an earlier timeline that had him out until February. Montreal is on a road trip that extends through Jan. 24. Toffoli is the team's second-leading scorer with 17 points, behind only Nick Suzuki.

Toffoli (hand) was on the ice for Tuesday's practice session in a non-contact sweater, John Lu of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Toffoli isn't expected back until late February but his ability to get back on the ice is certainly encouraging news. Prior to getting hurt, the 29-year-old winger had racked up eight points in his previous seven contests, though they all came in the same three games. As such, fantasy players should continue to expect Toffoli to be a boom-or-bust fantasy option.

Toffoli underwent hand surgery Wednesday and is expected to be sidelined for eight weeks, Arpon Basu of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Toffoli will likely be sidelined through the NHL's Olympic break, which means he probably won't return to action until Feb. 26 against the Senators. Artturi Lehkonen will likely get the first shot at replacing Toffoli in the Canadiens' top six Saturday versus St. Louis.

Toffoli (upper body) is expected to miss multiple weeks according to coach Dominique Ducharme, Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca reports. Additionally, Toffoli has been placed on injured reserve, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Based on the expected recovery timeline, Toffoli's IR designation shouldn't come as a surprise. Over his last seven contests, the winger racked up eight points while also going pointless in five of those outings. As such, fantasy players should probably be expecting continued boom-or-bust production out of Toffoli once back in action.

Toffoli will not be at practice Monday due to an upper-body injury and is expected to undergo continuing evaluation.

EDGE Analysis

Based on the timeline provided by the team, Toffoli figures to be out of action for at least the club's next matchup versus the Lightning on Tuesday. With Toffoli unavailable, Jonathan Drouin could be in the mix for a top-six role while Cedric Paquette gets back into the lineup.

Toffoli had two assists and three shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to Nashville.

EDGE Analysis

Toffoli had a pair of primary helpers and leads the Canadiens with 17 points over 26 games. It's been boom or bust for the forward, who has four multi-point efforts over the last 13 contests while going pointless in the other nine.

Toffoli scored a goal and two assists in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

All three points came in a wild third period that saw the lamp lit eight times between the two teams. Montreal's second line led the way in the victory, as Toffoli, Christian Dvorak and Josh Anderson combined for four goals and nine points. The performance was Toffoli's second three-point effort in the last week, but those are his only points in the last eight games. On the season, the 29-year-old has five goals and 15 points through 23 contests.
