Jake McCabe - Supplies two assists McCabe recorded two assists, three hits, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Kings.
Impact McCabe had a hand in goals by Bobby McMann and Morgan Rielly in the blowout win. Through four contests, McCabe has three assists, a plus-7 rating, 10 hits and 10 blocked shots. The 31-year-old defenseman provides a lot of physicality, and his offense should be at a passable level since he's playing on the second pairing at even strength. McCabe is unlikely to unseat Oliver Ekman-Larsson or Morgan Rielly for power-play time.

Oliver Ekman-Larsson - Contributes two helpers Ekman-Larsson posted two assists, four shots on goal, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Kings.
Impact Ekman-Larsson helped out on the Maple Leafs' second and third goals in the first period. While both of those helpers were at even strength, Ekman-Larsson's fantasy value has received a boost with him playing on the top power-play unit. He's at three helpers, 15 shots on net, five hits, five blocked shots, four PIM and a plus-3 rating over four contests this season, but he could be in line for a big year if he continues to get significant minutes with the man advantage.

Morgan Rielly - Deposits goal Wednesday Rielly scored a goal and added two PIM in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Kings.
Impact Rielly has a goal and an assist through four games this season. He's added eight shots on net, eight blocked shots and a plus-1 rating. Unfortunately for his fantasy managers, Rielly has more frequently been on the second power-play unit, while Oliver Ekman-Larsson quarterbacks the first unit. Rielly still gets plenty of time with Toronto's top players in a top-four role at even strength, which gives him a safe floor in fantasy.

Max Domi - Dishes pair of assists Domi recorded two assists and went plus-3 in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Kings.
Impact Domi helped out on goals by Bobby McMann and Morgan Rielly as the Maple Leafs jumped out to a 5-0 lead through two periods. Domi has settled into a playmaking role on the second line, providing five assists and a plus-6 rating over four contests. He has just two shots on goal so far, and while he's not a particularly high-volume shooter, he'll get more looks over time. The 29-year-old's place alongside William Nylander makes Domi an interesting depth option in fantasy.

Anthony Stolarz - Gives up two goals Wednesday Stolarz allowed two goals on 34 shots in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Kings.
Impact Stolarz has enjoyed an excellent start to the season, giving up two or fewer goals in his three appearances, posting a save percentage of at least .910 in every contest and winning his last two starts. He should remain in the crease for Saturday's contest against the Rangers.

Bobby McMann - Nets brace Wednesday McCann scored two goals in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Kings.
Impact McCann found the back of the net with his two shot attempts in this win over the Kings, beating David Rittich twice in the first period. McCann didn't play in the season opener against Montreal on Oct. 9 after recovering from a knee injury, but has been very good since returning to the ice and has three goals over his last three appearances while attempting eight shots.

John Tavares - Scores PP goal in Wednesday's win Tavares scored a power-play goal on three shots in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Kings.
Impact Tavares returned to the ice after a one-game absence due to an illness and managed to find the back of the net for the second game in a row, this time on the power play following set-ups from Mitch Marner and Auston Matthews in the third period. Tavares will aim to keep his scoring streak alive when facing the Rangers on Saturday knowing he has two goals on five shots over his last two contests.

William Nylander - Nets power-play goal Nylander recorded a power-play goal and an even-strength assist in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Kings.
Impact Nylander was considered a game-time decision for Wednesday's matchup after missing Tuesday's practice due to an illness, but it seems he's not feeling any effects based on his strong showing in this game. Nylander has three goals in four appearances this season and is picking things up right where he left them off after a career-best year in 2023-24, where he notched a personal-best 98 points, including reaching the 40-goal plateau for the second consecutive campaign.

Flu-like illness has floored a couple of Toronto Maple Leafs over the past few days John Tavares is back after an illness, but now there's doubt William Nylander will be well enough to face Los Angeles on Wednesday.

Auston Matthews - Three points in win over Kings Matthews notched an even-strength goal and two power-play assists in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Kings.
Impact Matthews hadn't registered a single point in his first three games of the season despite racking up 15 total shots, but he snapped that drought with an impressive outing Wednesday. Matthews is too talented to be held off the scoresheet like he was in the first three games of the campaign, and he should remain an absolute menace when the Maple Leafs take on the Rangers on Saturday. Matthews is coming off a career-best season in 2023-24 where he posted 107 points across 81 games, tallying 69 goals and 38 assists.
OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE
Mitch Marner - Shines in playmaking role Marner delivered three assists, including two on the power play, in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Kings.
Impact Marner was unable to score for a second game in a row, but he still found a way to contribute and dazzled as a playmaker with a season-high three assists. He set up an even-strength goal from Auston Matthews in the first period, a power-play tally from William Nylander in the second and John Tavares' PP goal in the third. Marner went scoreless in his first two outings of the season but has racked up five points (one goal, four assists) over his last two appearances, a streak he'll aim to continue when the Maple Leafs host the Rangers on Saturday.
