JOHN TAVARES NEWS

Back in lineup Saturday Tavares (lower body) will return to the lineup Saturday against Detroit,

Impact Tavares has missed the last week of action, but looks to be ready for the start of the season. The 34-year-old center had 29 goals and 36 assists in 80 regular-season games with the Maple Leafs in 2023-24. Tavares is expected to see second-line duty between Max Domi and William Nylander to start the season, as well as playing on the top power-play unit.

Labeled day-to-day Tavares is dealing with a lower-body injury and will not skate Friday as a result.

Impact Tavares took a hit from Montreal's Michael Pezzetta in Thursday's preseason contest, which has given the former an injury designation. Tavares returned to the game after taking the hit and even scored a goal -- this could be a sign that the injury is not overly serious, but more of a precautionary move by the team. Expect an update on the status of the 34-year-old ahead of Saturday's rematch versus Montreal.
