Likely playing Wednesday Rielly (upper body) is expected to be available Wednesday when the Leafs host the Lightning, per David Alter of The Hockey News.
Impact Rielly has put together a solid season, recording seven goals and 44 assists in 65 games played. The 30-year-old will be inserted back into the number-one defensive pairing when he returns. He will look to get back on the first power play unit where he's averaged 2:34 of ice time per game.

Remains day-to-day Rielly (upper body) is still considered day-to-day and won't play Monday against Florida, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
Impact Although Rielly will miss a fourth consecutive contest Monday, he's reportedly close to 100 percent healthy and is expected to practice Tuesday. A return to action Wednesday versus Tampa Bay appears to be a real possibility for the 30-year-old defender, who's racked up 51 points through 65 contests this campaign.

Still sidelined versus Sabres Rielly (upper body) will remain on the shelf against Buffalo on Saturday. Coach Sheldon Keefe told reporters, "It looks like he's turned the corner here and should be on the ice in...
Impact Rielly will be out of action for a third straight game due to his lingering upper-body issue. Still, the blueliner seems to be making progress and could be back on the blue line sooner rather than later. With Timothy Liljegren (upper body) and Joel Edmundson (undisclosed) both facing extended absences, the Leafs will have to rely heavily on Simon Benoit and Conor Timmins until Rielly can't get back on the ice.

Won't play Thursday Rielly (upper body) will not be available against Washington on Thursday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
Impact Rielly will be shelved for his second consecutive contest due to his upper-body injury, though he continues to be classified as day-to-day. Conor Timmins should continue to see opportunities with the No. 2 power-play unit while Rielly and Joel Edmundson (undisclosed) are sidelined.
MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable versus Washington Rielly (upper body) is considered questionable for Thursday's matchup with Washington, Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports.
Impact Rielly missed Tuesday's loss to the Devils due to his upper-body issue, and it looks like his status for Thursday's contest may boil down to a game-time decision. Rielly's racked up seven goals and 51 points through 65 contests this season -- fantasy managers should plan on keeping a close eye on his status ahead of puck drop Thursday.
MARCH 27 • ROTOWIRE
Sitting out Tuesday Rielly (undisclosed) won't play versus the Devils on Tuesday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
Impact Rielly's injury was reported earlier Tuesday, and it will cost him at least one game. Simon Benoit will draw into the lineup, while Rielly's next chance to play is Thursday versus the Capitals.
MARCH 26 • ROTOWIRE
Iffy against New Jersey Rielly (undisclosed) "hasn't been ruled out fully" for Tuesday night's game versus the Devils, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
Impact Rielly's status against New Jersey could boil down to a game-time decision. Simon Benoit could draw into the lineup Tuesday if Rielly is unable to go.

Joins elite franchise point list Rielly picked up two assists in a 5-4 shootout loss to the Hurricanes on Saturday.
Impact Both assists were incredible stretch passes that sprung William Nylander and David Kampf on breakaways. With the points, Rielly joined Borje Salming (817) and Tomas Kaberle (548) as the only defenders to reach 500 or more career regular season and playoff points with the Maple Leafs franchise. His 49 points (61 games) put him 10th on the NHL's defensemen scoring list.

Adds assist in losing effort Rielly assisted on a late goal during Monday's 4-1 loss to Boston.
Impact After Rielly's suspension for cross-checking Ottawa's Ridly Greig, the defender went four games without a point. Monday's assist gives Rielly apples in back-to-back games. He looks like he's back helping the Maple Leafs produce offensively, even if the team didn't manage to put a whole lot on the board Monday.

First point since suspension Rielly picked up an assist Saturday in a 4-3 shootout win over the Rangers.
Impact It was his first point since his return from his five-game suspension. Rielly has 44 points, including 37 assists, in 55 games, but he continues to log big minutes that may detract from ability to deliver offense. Mark Giordano (head) remains out, and newcomer Ilya Lyubushkin didn't last a full game before he exited with an head injury Saturday. Rielly skated 25:05.

Eligible to return Rielly has served his five-game suspension and will be available Thursday versus the Golden Knights, per CapFriendly.
Impact Rielly's appeal was denied Tuesday, so he had to miss Wednesday's game versus the Coyotes. His return will be a welcome sight for the Maple Leafs, who are missing Mark Giordano (personal), William Lagesson (upper body) and Conor Timmins (illness) on the blue line. Rielly's return will likely result in Marshall Rifai exiting the lineup, though that may not be confirmed until close to puck drop Thursday.
