Maple Leafs' Dakota Joshua: Logs first point of season
Rotowire
Joshua notched an assist and two hits in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Canadiens.
Joshua was sidelined for the first month of the season due to a core muscle injury. This was his third contest, and he's filled a bottom-six role so far. He has produced five shots on net, 14 hits and a plus-1 rating. Joshua can help in banger leagues, assuming he stays healthy, but he doesn't offer a lot of offense.

Maple Leafs' Sergei Bobrovsky: Fourth straight loss
Rotowire
Bobrovsky made 24 saves in a 4-2 loss to Montreal on Saturday.
Bob was left high and dry a couple times on some ugly turnovers by 18-year-old rookie, Gavin McKenna, and the puck ended up in the net. Unfortunately, Bobrovsky is mired in an 0-4-0 streak with 15 goals allowed. His 3.34 GAA and .886 save percentage are below the NHL averages (2,90, .890). Bob is a classic postseason goalie who can struggle or look bad in the regular season. And that makes him a tough call in fantasy.

Maple Leafs' William Nylander: Moving up franchise all-time lists
Rotowire
Nylander scored a power-play goal Saturday in a 4-2 loss to Montreal.
The goal tied him with John Tavares for fifth on the franchise's all-time list for power-play goals (85). Nylander has 11 goals and 11 assists in 18 games this season, which means he's still flirting with a 50-goal campaign. If that happens, it would a new career mark for the winger. Nylander has two goals, one assist and nine shots in his last three games.

Maple Leafs' Gavin McKenna: Nabs goal but two giveaways lead to goals
Rotowire
McKenna scored a goal Saturday in a 4-2 loss to Montreal.
It was a He also coughed the puck up twice that led immediately to Montreal goals, one in the first period and then another in the second that resulted in the game-winning goal. McKenna has so much talent, but the path to stardom is going to be rough for a bit. After the game, the 18-year-old winger told reporters that he had thought he was going to be benched after a cross-ice pass that might have worked in junior was quickly stolen and converted. But he wasn't -- head coach Jim Hiller talked to him in the second intermission and told McKenna he was going to get him back out there. This kid's future is bright. He already has 12 points in 18 game, including six (three goals, three assists) in his last 6 contests.
Rielly (lower body) won't return to Saturday's game versus the Canadiens.
Rielly's injury could affect his availability for Sunday's game versus the Devils. The defenseman was injured early in the second period and ruled out before the intermission. If he misses time, Dakota Mermis will likely take Rielly's place in the lineup.

Maple Leafs' Sergei Bobrovsky: Tending twine Saturday
Rotowire
Bobrovsky will guard the home crease in Saturday's clash against the Canadiens, per Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun.
Bobrovsky posted 33 saves in the most recent loss of his three-game losing streak. Despite his decent play Saturday, the 38-year-old netminder has fallen to a 3-6-2 record, a 3.27 GAA and an .889 save percentage across 11 appearances this season. If Bobrovsky continues to be inconsistent across the course of the season, he'll likely leave the door open for Anthony Stolarz to steal some starts. Bobrovsky's matchup Saturday is slated to be a difficult one against the Habs, who have won their lone game since the return of team captain Nick Suzuki. Bobrovsky is a high-risk, high-reward option in fantasy for the time being.

Maple Leafs' Artur Akhtyamov: Up from AHL
Rotowire
Akhtyamov was summoned from AHL Toronto on Saturday, per David Alter of The Hockey News.
Akhtyamov appears poised to serve as Sergei Bobrovsky's backup in Saturday's home matchup against Montreal. Bobrovsky occupied the starter's crease during the Maple Leafs' optional morning skate. Anthony Stolarz may get Saturday's game off ahead of a potential home-ice start against New Jersey on Sunday.
Maple Leafs' Sergei Bobrovsky: Strong play wasted by team performance
Rotowire
Bobrovsky made 33 saves in a 3-2 loss to Utah on Tuesday.
This loss was not on Bob, despite his struggles to this point in the season. Bobrovsky kept the Leafs in this game for a long time, but he was ultimately done in by stupid Leafs penalties that put the entire team on its head. Even head coach Jim Hiller commented after the game about hsi frustrations with the Leafs untimely infractions. Bobrovsky remains average, at best, with a 3-6-2 record, 3.27 GAA and .889 save percentage in 11 games played.

Matthews had five shots and rang the post at least once Tuesday in 20:01. His point streak is at five games and eight points (three goals, five assists), and he has 14 shots in that span.

Maple Leafs' Jack Roslovic: Streak at seven games, 12 points
Rotowire
Roslovic scored twice in a 3-2 loss to Utah on Tuesday.
Rosco has been a fantasy revelation this season. His point streak now stands at seven games and 12 points, including five goals. We're not exactly sure how Roslovic is doing this, given his meager shot total (13), but four shots Tuesday is a a great sign -- he had four total in his previous four contests. The winger has almost lifelong chemistry with pivot Auston Matthews given their time together in the USNDP, and the two are showing they are one of the NHL's better duos right now. Overall, Roslovic has eight goals, 10 assists, 43 shots, 10 PIM, 10 hits and seven blocks in 17 games.
Tavares (lower body) resumed skating Tuesday and is now listed as day-to-day, per David Alter of The Hockey News.
Tavares took part in his first team skate since going down with a lower-body injury in the Maple Leafs' clash against Buffalo on Oct. 15. The 36-year-old center was wearing a red non-contact sweater at morning skate, indicating that he's not quite ready to return. However, his activation from injured reserve is an indication that his return is near. When healthy this season, the 18-year NHL veteran has two goals, seven points, 17 shots on net and five blocked shots across seven appearances. He'll have shot to return in Saturday's clash against the Canadiens.
Groulx was placed on waivers Monday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Groulx hasn't earned a point in seven NHL appearances with the Maple Leafs this campaign, but he has posted four shots on net, three blocked shots and 12 hits. If he clears waivers, he will likely head to AHL Toronto.

Maple Leafs' Chris Tanev: Solid in return from injury
Rotowire
Tanev (upper body) was plus-2 with three hits, three blocked shots and one shot, playing 19:21 in Toronto's 4-2 win Saturday over Vancouver.
It was Tanev's first game back from an upper-body injury that caused him to miss nine games. He now has 17 blocked shots, four hits and two shots in seven games. Tanev is a defensive stalwart on the Leafs blue line. His return is more valuable to his netminders than fantasy managers.
