"There was no clear moment when the Leafs' veteran defenseman suffered this injury but was just pulled out in the middle of the game. According to head coach Craig Berube, there is no specific timeline for Rielly as there needs to be further evaluation just on the seriousness of the injury. Morgan Rielly (upper body) needs further evaluation. No timeline for return yet, per Berube.- luke fox (@lukefoxjukebox) February 1, 2026"
"And it's been a consistent thing all season long. Rielly leads the entire NHL with 63 allowed goals while he's on the ice at 5-on-5. He has scored a solid-enough seven goals and 31 points in his 53 games, but no level of scoring from the back end can really make up for the fact that the Leafs regularly give up a goal against while he's out there. Just the fact that he averages more than one 5-on-5 goal against per game is a little crazy."
Morgan Rielly left Saturday night’s game against the Vancouver Canucks with an upper-body injury and requires further evaluation, with no timeline for return, per head coach Craig Berube. Rielly skated 12 minutes, 34 seconds before being pulled after appearing slow on loose pucks and being beaten on shifts. He has struggled consistently this season, leading the NHL with 63 goals allowed at 5-on-5. Rielly has seven goals and 31 points in 53 games, but defensive lapses remain a liability. The Leafs won 3-2 in a shootout, ending a six-game slide; Nicolas Roy and Max Domi scored, and William Nylander converted the shootout winner.
