The struggling Toronto Maple Leafs provided a handful of injury updates on Tuesday, announcing forward Colton Sissons is out week-to-week and defenceman Morgan Rielly is considered day-to-day. Both are dealing with lower-body injuries.
Winger Kirill Marchenko, who hasn’t played since Oct. 26 due to a lower-body injury, is still considered week-to-week.
The 33-year-old Sissons, who has two goals and four assists over 19 games this season with the Leafs, was injured during Sunday’s shutout loss to the New Jersey Devils.
Sissons signed a two-year, $8.5 million contract, featuring a $4.25 million average annual value, with the Leafs this past summer.
Rielly, 32, missed Sunday’s contest after suffering his injury the night before in a loss to the Montreal Canadiens. He has 12 assists over 18 games in 2026-27, his 14th season with the Leafs.
Marchenko, 26, tallied six goals and eight assists over 14 games before going down with his injury.
The Maple Leafs have dropped five of their last six games, including the opening three games of their current six-game home stand, all in regulation. Following the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday, the Leafs will host the Minnesota Wild on Thursday and Edmonton Oilers on Saturday.
They own an 8-9-2 record and sit second last in the Atlantic Division.
Roslovic Skates, Tverberg on second line
Forward Jack Roslovic, who also missed Sunday’s loss to the Devils with a lower-body injury, was on the ice for Tuesday’s morning skate as they Maple Leafs get set to host the Avalanche.
Roslovic rejoined the top line with Auston Matthews and Easton Cowan.
Toronto called up forward Ryan Tverberg on Tuesday and he took reps in practice on the team’s second line with John Tavares and William Nylander. Tverberg joined the team from the the American Hockey League’s Toronto Marlies as forward Vinni Lettieri was sent down.
The 24-year-old Tverberg has four goals and three assists over 14 games in the minors this season. A seventh-round pick by the Leafs in 2020, Tverberg played the first two games of his NHL career last season, but wasn’t able to record a point.
The 29-year-old Roslovic has been a strong contributor in his first season with the Leafs, producing eight goals and 10 assists over 18 games, playing on the same line as fellow American Auston Matthews.
Roslovic is signed to a two-year, $8 million contract, featuring an average annual value of $4 million.
