DECEMBER 29, 2023 • HOCKEYBUZZ.COM
Morgan Rielly - Starting to heat up Rielly has one goal and seven assists in his last 10 games.
Impact The run has pushed Rielly up the ranks of scoring defenders, and he sits in a three-way tie for 14th overall with Jakob Chychrun of Ottawa and Travis Sanheim of Philadelphia with 24 points. Of those 16 players in the top 14, Rielly has just seven power-play points, which is third-lowest in the group. That's a bit of a surprise given the Leafs 25.5 power-play percentage. Their PP1 has Auston Matthews, William Nylander, Mitchell Marner and John Tavares, and there are only so many touches available. However, three of his recent seven assists came on the man advantage, so Rielly could be climbing the defensive scoring ranks soon.

David Kampf - 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.
DECEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jake McCabe - Surprising output in December McCabe has eight points, including seven assists, in his last 10 games.
Impact He also has 19 hits and 11 shots in that span. McCabe's scoring outburst has been unusual -- he had just two assists in 16 games prior, and his best output ever (25 points) came last season, split between Chicago and Toronto. McCabe is at his best when he provides stability for a more roving, offensive partner, so count on hits and blocks going forward as the Leafs blue line starts to stabilize. Mark Giordano has been activated off LTIR, which will lead to pair changes.
DECEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Mark Giordano - Off LTIR Giordano (finger) was taken off long-term injured reserve Friday, per the NHL media site, which sets the stage for him to return in the evening's game versus Columbus.
Impact Giordano last played Nov. 28. He has a goal, five points, 24 hits and 50 blocks in 20 contests this year. Giordano's return is likely to result in William Lagesson being a healthy scratch Friday.

Auston Matthews - Four-game, seven-point streak Matthews picked up an assist Wednesday night in a 4-2 loss to Ottawa.
Impact The helper extended his point streak to four games and seven points (five goals, two assists). Matthews has put up points in his last eight games (11 goals, five assists), and he has 13 goals and seven assists in his last 11 games. With his recent goal run, Matthews has 28 on the season (31 games) and is flirting with 50-in-50. The last player to accomplish that feat was Brett Hull in 1990-91.
DECEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Noah Gregor - Ice time oddly low Gregor's ice time dropped to 9:03 Wednesday night in a 4-2 loss to the Senators.
Impact His ice time has been as high as 17:40 in the last couple weeks -- the last time he dropped below 10 minutes was Dec. 2. Gregor is one of the fastest players in the NHL, and he is versatile enough to play on any line and on the power play. He's a great fourth-line guy who gets boosted minutes when he's flashing his skills, but that doesn't result in loads of offense. Gregor has five goals and two assists in 32 games.
