The Story in 60 Seconds

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly exited Saturday's game against the Montreal Canadiens with a lower-body injury. Rielly headed to the dressing room during the second half of the first period, and the club's public relations account subsequently announced that he would not return. Head coach Jim Hiller is expected to provide updates following the contest.

The setback adds to an already injury-tested Toronto roster that recently welcomed back John Tavares and Chris Tanev, but remains without star forward Kirill Marchenko. Prior to the game, Rielly had recorded 12 assists across 17 appearances to begin the 2026-27 NHL season.
