Maple Leafs’ Mitch Marner won’t return this week, Rielly questionable

Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe on Wednesday ruled Mitch Marner out for the remainder of this week’s schedule, meaning the star winger will miss a minimum of 10 games with his ankle injury.

Marner participated in Wednesday’s skills session in a grey extras jersey. Keefe told reporters that Marner will be a full participant in Friday’s practice. Marner has not played since March 7.

The Maple Leafs host Washington on Thursday and play in Buffalo on Saturday.

In other Maple Leafs news, defenceman Morgan Rielly is considered questionable for the game against the Capitals. The top-pair defenceman missed Tuesday’s loss to the Devils with an upper-body injury.

Keefe also announced that Joseph Woll will start in net against the Capitals, his third-straight start. Ilya Samsonov, who left Saturday’s win over the Oilers with an injury, did skate on Wednesday and told reporters he is good to go.
