Auston Matthews - Making progress, but not ready Matthews (upper body) took part in Wednesday's practice, but he won't play Thursday versus the Islanders, per Dave McCarthy of NHL.com.
Impact Although Matthews is making progress, there isn't a timetable for his return. Thursday will mark his sixth straight game on the shelf, and that's in addition to the nine outings he missed from Nov. 5-27 due to the same injury. He has 11 goals and 23 points in 24 appearances in 2024-25.

Ekman-Larsson is projected to serve on the third pairing alongside Simon Benoit based on Wednesday's morning skate. Conor Timmins, who logged 16:47 of ice time Tuesday, is projected to draw out of the lineup.

Ryan Reaves - Hands out assist Reaves recorded an assist and six hits in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Islanders.
Impact Reaves has played in nine of 14 games since the end of his five-game suspension Dec. 2. The 37-year-old had gone 11 outings without a point prior to Tuesday, when he set up Steven Lorentz on the game-winning goal. Reaves' offense has been limited as usual this year -- he has two assists and 10 shots on net through 25 appearances. He's added 81 hits, 23 PIM and an even plus-minus rating, but he could lose his place in the lineup once Austin Matthews (upper body) or Pontus Holmberg (illness) return to action.

Connor Dewar - Chips in with helper Dewar provided an assist and four hits in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Islanders.
Impact Dewar ended a seven-game point drought that also saw him sit out twice as a healthy scratch. The 25-year-old has been limited to fourth-line duties this year, so it's unlikely he'll put up significant scoring numbers even at the best of times. He's logged two assists, 22 shots on net, 51 hits and a minus-1 rating through 20 appearances.

David Kampf - Second goal in last three games Kampf scored a goal in a 3-1 win over the Islanders on Tuesday.
Impact He put the Leafs up 1-0 late in the first period. Kampf was in the slot and one-timed a perfect pass from William Nylander past Ilya Sorokin's glove. He has two goals in his last three games, but we're not investing. Kampf is a lucky tag-along with Nylander, and he doesn't really have top-six skill. Nice goal, though.

Matthew Knies - Mired in goal drought Knies' goal drought stands at eight games after he was held off the score sheet Tuesday in a 3-1 win over the Islanders.
Impact Knies appeared to have snapped the slump early in the second period, but New York used a coach's challenge for goalie interference, and the call on the ice was overturned. Knies still seems to have coach Craig Berube's trust, as he plays mostly on one of the top two lines and gets first-unit power-play time. And he continues to lay hits. Knies, more than any other Leaf, might be the most affected by the absence of center Auston Matthews (upper body). His game is developing, but he still can't carry a line on his own.

John Tavares - Eight-game, 13-point streak Tavares scored a goal Tuesday in 3-1 win over the Islanders.
Impact It came on the power-play into an empty net in the last minute of play. Tavares extended his point streak to eight games (seven goals, six assists). JT seems to be staving off Father Time this season with 19 goals and 38 points in 37 games. His 17.1 shooting percentage is well above his 13.0 career mark, but it's not like he's never done it before. Tavares hit at 16.4 percent in his first season with the Leafs when he lit the lamp 47 times. And his deployment will continue to be prime with Auston Matthews (upper body) back on the IR.
