Toronto Maple Leafs

Joseph Woll struggled in net for the Maple Leafs Friday night, allowing four goals on 28 shots faced in a 5-4 shootout win over the Flames.

Fantasy Impact: Woll has struggled between the pipes after a scorching start to the season, allowing four or more goals in three of his last four starts (2-2-0) for the Maple Leafs. The young netminder will continue to receive ample opportunities as part of an underwhelming goaltending tandem with Ilya Samsonov, posting a 2.91 GAA and .908 save percentage in nine appearances (5-4-0) in the crease so far this season.

Morgan Reilly posted one assist in the Maple Leafs' 5-4 shootout win over the Flames Friday night.

Fantasy Impact: Reilly has begun to heat up in the offensive zone for the Maple Leafs, recording points in three of the last four games for the club. The talented blueliner continues to be a mostly stable force who can provide instant offense on a nightly basis for fantasy managers, carrying a 0.79 point per game average (two goals, nine assists) in 14 games so far this season.

Max Domi notched one assist in the Maple Leafs' 5-4 shootout win over the Flames Friday night.

Fantasy Impact: Domi has found a way to make an impact in the offensive zone of late, picking up points in three consecutive contests for the Maple Leafs. The enigmatic forward will need to offer more consistent results as the season progresses to offer steady value to fantasy managers, posting seven points (seven assists) in 14 games so far this season.

Calle Jarnkrok was able to light the lamp for the Maple Leafs Friday night, scoring one goal in a 5-4 shootout win over the Flames.

Fantasy Impact: Jarnkrok is in the middle of a torrid stretch in the offensive zone of late, tallying points in each of the last five games for the Maple Leafs. The gritty two-way forward continues to flash strong offensive potential as part of an inconsistent forward group for head coach Sheldon Keefe, scoring four goals and adding five assists for nine points in 14 games so far this season.

John Tavares was able to find the back of the net for the Maple Leafs Friday night, scoring one goal in a 5-4 shootout win over the Flames.

Fantasy Impact: Tavares continues to break out of a recent cold stretch in the offensive zone for the Maple Leafs, picking up points in each of the last two games after being held without a point in his three previous contests. The veteran center is a mostly reliable option for fantasy managers in most formats, notching 15 points (six goals, nine assists) in 14 games so far this season.

William Nylander tallied three points for the Maple Leafs Friday night, scoring two goals and adding one assist in a 5-4 shootout win over the Flames.

Fantasy Impact: Nylander continues his scorching start in the offensive zone to begin the season for the Maple Leafs, recording a point in 14 consecutive games for the club. The dynamic winger is extremely gifted in the offensive zone and remains a lineup lock for fantasy managers in all formats, posting an elite 1.50 point per game (nine goals, 12 assists) average so far this season.

Ilya Samsonov allowed three goals on 24 shots faced in the Maple Leafs' 3-2 overtime loss to the Predators Saturday night.

Fantasy Impact: Samsonov was unable to keep the Nashville offensive attack at bay Saturday night, posting a dismal .875 save percentage in a losing effort. The netminder early-season struggles combined with the impressive start to the season by No.2 goaltender Joseph Woll will make Samsonov's status worth monitoring on game night's, carrying an .841 save percentage and 3.99 GAA in five appearances (2-1-1) between the pipes so far this season.

Mitch Marner picked up one assist in the Maple Leafs' 3-2 overtime loss to the Nashville Predators Saturday night.

Fantasy Impact: Marner has been a solid option in the offensive zone for the Maple Leafs, registering points in six of eight contests this season. The dynamic winger provides fantasy managers with steady production and explosive potential on most nights, recording seven points (two goals, five assists) in eight games so far this season.

Auston Matthews notched one assist in the Maple Leafs' 3-2 overtime loss to the Predators Saturday night.

Fantasy Impact: Matthews has been a steady option in the offensive zone to begin the season for the Maple Leafs, tallying points in five of the team's first eight games. The superstar center will look to provide fantasy managers with a solid return on investment most nights, posting 10 points (seven goals, three assists) in eight games so far this season.

Matthew Knies posted three points for the Maple Leafs Saturday night, picking up one assist and scoring two goals in a 4-3 overtime win over the Lightning.

Fantasy Impact: Knies has struggled to make a consistent impact in the offensive zone to begin the season for the Maple Leafs, recording points for the first time in five games for the club Saturday night. Fantasy managers should not panic however, as the 21-year-old continues to acclimate himself to the rigors of his first regular season with the Maple Leafs after a solid 2022-23 postseason for head coach Sheldon Keefe, recording three points (two goals, one assist) in five games so far this season.

Michael Bunting has agreed to a three-year, $13.5 million deal with the Carolina Hurricanes. (Source: Pierre LeBrun on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Bunting joins a Carolina squad in need of the forward’s combination of finishing ability and toughness as part of a forward group lacking the latter. The 27-year-old will look for a third consecutive 20-goal season as Carolina head coach Rod Brindamour looks to push his squad deep into the playoffs this upcoming season.

Ryan O’Reilly has agreed to a four-year, $20 million deal with the Nashville Predators. (Source: Pierre LeBrun on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: O’Reilly joins a Nashville squad attempting to re-tool under new head coach Andrew Brunette after moving on from Ryan Johansen and Matt Duchene prior to the beginning of free agency. The veteran center should provide a solid scoring option in the top-six forward group in desperate need of more offensive punch as they attempt to capitalize on netminder Juuse Saros between the pipes most nights in hopes of returning to the postseason this upcoming season.

Matt Murray was solid in net for the Maple Leafs Thursday night, stopping 33 of 35 shots faced in a 6-2 win over the Panthers.

Fantasy Impact: Murray has not been very reliable between the pipes of late for the Maple Leafs, allowing more than two goals in six of his last seven starts (3-3-0, .827 save percentage) for the club. The 28-year-old netminder has had an up-and-down season in net for fantasy owners, posting a 2.92 GAA and .906 save percentage in 24 starts (14-7-2) so far this season.

Rasmus Sandin was able to find the back of the net for the Maple Leafs Tuesday night, scoring one goal in a 4-0 win over the Stars.

Fantasy Impact: Sandin has been nearly non-existent in the offensive zone early in the season, posting points in four of his last nine games for the Maple Leafs (two goals, three assists). The 22-year-old blueliner is part of an intriguing defense corps that has put more of an emphasis on being more of an asset in the defensive zone at the expense of more time in the offensive zone, scoring two goals and adding seven assists for just nine points in 27 games so far this season.

Timothy Liljegren picked up one assist Tuesday night in the Maple Leafs' 4-0 win over the Stars.

Fantasy Impact: Liljegren is an imposing blueline option that will not always show up on the stat sheet for fantasy owners, picking up points in just three of his last eight games (three assists). The 23-year-old defenseman has been fairly solid in the defensive zone early in the season at the expense of more point production, scoring just two goals and adding three assists for five points to go along with a +11 plus/minus in 16 games so far this season.

Alexander Kerfoot scored one goal in the Maple Leafs' 4-0 win over the Stars Tuesday night.

Fantasy Impact: Kerfoot has posted points in four of his last seven games for the Maple Leafs, scoring one goal and adding four assists in that span. The gritty forward has the ability to find the back of the net and make impact plays in the offensive zone, but has yet to do so on a consistent basis early in the season, posting just 11 points (two goals, nine assists) to go along with a +5 plus/minus in 27 games so far this season.

Mark Giordano picked up one assist in the Maple Leafs' 4-0 win over the Stars Tuesday night.

Fantasy Impact: Giordano has not been a very big point producer early in the season for the Maple Leafs, as the veteran blueliner provides much of his energy on the ice to bolstering an injury-ravaged blueline corps while posting a +11 plus/minus ratio for the club. Giordano 's value may not show up on the stat sheet on a regular basis, but he still has the ability to flash explosive point production and improve on his seven points (one goal, six assists) in 27 games so far this season.

Pontus Holmberg was able to light the lamp for the Maple Leafs Saturday night, scoring one goal in a 4-1 win over the Penguins.

Fantasy Impact: Holmberg has now scored goals in two of his last three games for the Maple Leafs, as the 23-year-old gets an opportunity to flash his ability with the club fighting through a plethora of early-season injuries. The forward will look to turn his recent play into a long-term stay in Toronto and may be worth stashing for fantasy owners who have a spare roster spot.

Erik Kallgren was stellar between the pipes for the Maple Leafs Saturday night, stopping 25 of 26 shots faced in a 4-1 win over the Penguins.

Fantasy Impact: Kallgren was stout in the crease against a formidable Penguins club, posting a .962 save percentage and looking every bit the goaltender that surprised many in 2021-22 in Toronto. The 26-year-old will look to use Saturday night as a confidence boost, struggling as the backup behind current No. 1 goaltender Matt Murray, posting an .898 save percentage and 2.67 GAA in 10 games (3-2-4) so far this season.
