Maple Leafs' Ryan Reaves: Playing Friday

Reaves will play for the first time in six games Friday against the Rangers, per Peter Baugh of The Athletic.

Reaves has been a healthy scratch of late, but will enter the lineup as a deterrent to the Rangers' resident tough guy Matt Rempe. The feisty Reaves has 28 PIM, as well as a pair of assists and 97 hits over 33 contests this season. Reaves could be a streaming option for fantasy managers looking for penalty minutes Friday. He will replace Alex Steeves in the lineup.
