Out until at least mid-December Kampf (lower body) was moved to long-term injured reserve Wednesday and will be unavailable until at least Dec. 14 against the Red Wings, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Kampf was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, retroactive to Nov. 16, and he'll be ineligible to return for nearly a month after moving to long-term injured reserve, a transaction that helped free up salary cap space to call up Nikita Grebenkin on Wednesday. It's not yet clear whether Kampf will be able to suit up when he's first eligible to return, but a better idea of his recovery timetable could come into focus over the next few weeks.

Placed on injured reserve Kampf was designated for injured reserve Tuesday with a lower-body injury retroactive to Nov. 16.

Impact Kampf played 14:22 of ice time in that Nov. 16 matchup with Edmonton, which is actually above his season average (12:18), so it's not immediately clear when he got hurt. Technically, the 29-year-old winger will only have to miss one game -- Wednesday's matchup with Vegas -- before he can be activated, though it could be longer once the team provides a more concrete update.

He has two assists, 11 shots on net, nine hits, three blocked shots and a minus-4 rating in 11 appearances this season.

Impact The fourth-line center found linemate Steven Lorentz for a first-period tally, which stood as the game-winner. Kampf looks poised to be in the Toronto lineup regularly as he has been for the last three years. He was limited to 19 points in 78 regular-season contests in 2023-24, his lowest output since he joined the Maple Leafs, but he carries more value on the ice than in fantasy due to his defensive acumen.

Set to play Kampf (illness) is expected to be back in the lineup Wednesday versus the Sabres, NHL.com's Dave McCarthy reports.

Impact Kampf missed practice Tuesday while sick, but he's recovered enough to get in the lineup. The 29-year-old is expected to center the fourth line as usual, so he won't be a particularly intriguing option for fantasy managers.

Game-time call Wednesday Kampf (illness) will be a game-time decision against the Sabres on Wednesday, Joshua Kloke of The Athletic reports.

Impact Kampf has scored just once in his last 31 contests while adding a mere four helpers and 29 shots over that stretch. As such, few fantasy players will likely be impacted by his availability versus Buffalo. If he does miss out, Noah Gregor figures to play for the first time since Feb. 21 against Arizona.

MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE

Absent in Tuesday's practice Kampf (Illness) wasn't spotted at practice Tuesday, per Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun.

Impact Kampf will look to suit up Wednesday against the Sabres if he's healthy. The 29-year-old has recorded five goals and six assists on the year. He has shown tremendous defensive play with 65 hits and 19 blocked shots.

Should return Tuesday Kampf (undisclosed) is expected to return to action Tuesday versus St. Louis, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Kampf is still on injured reserve, but he should be activated prior to puck drop versus the Blues as long as he makes it through the morning skate without issue. The 29-year-old has picked up eight points through 46 contests in a bottom-six role this season.

Lands on IR Kampf (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Friday, per CapFriendly.

Ice time dropping again Kampf's ice time dropped to 10:02 on Wednesday in a 4-2 loss to Ottawa.

Impact Kampf's yo-yo season continues. His ice time has gone up and down this season, and his efforts in bottom-six capacity have also varied. And after an early Dec. uptick in play and output, Kampf has gone six games with little to show. He has a minus-2 rating in that span, with just four shots and three hits. On Wednesday, he lost time late as the Leafs tried to come back against the Sens. But his inconsistent efforts destabilize the Leafs bottom six and that puts extra pressure on the top of the lineup.

Second goal in as many games Kampf scored a goal Saturday in a 4-0 win over the Predators.

Impact He scored the game-winner at 14:15 of the second period. Kampf took a lead pass from Connor Timmins, fought off Preds' defender Ryan McDonagh, and wired the puck over Kevin Lankinen's glove from the slot. Kampf and Noah Gregor have been playing excellent hockey on the Leafs' bottom line. So much so that Kampf has a goal in each of his last two games (eight shots). His fantasy value is limited, but he might help short term if you're in a super deep league.
