Overview
- Toronto announced before the third period that Morgan Rielly would not return due to an upper-body injury.
- Rielly was hurt during Saturday’s game against the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Arena in Vancouver.
- He logged 12:34 across 19 shifts, recorded a blocked shot, and was on the ice for both Vancouver goals before leaving.
- The team has not specified the nature of the injury or when it occurred, and no recovery timetable has been reported.
- The loss of Rielly adds to a depleted defense with Chris Tanev out indefinitely as Toronto endures a six-game skid that has pushed it out of a playoff spot.
