Toronto Maple Leafs' Mitch Marner is practicing and expected to return after missing multiple games due to injury. Morgan Rielly, also recovering from an upper body injury, is progressing well and set to return to the lineup. Marner has been placed on LTIR retroactively to manage the roster, allowing the team to recall Marshall Rifai. Rielly is available for the upcoming game against Tampa, while Marner is likely to return later in the week.

"We're just going to feel it out and talk to him." #Leafs think Mitch Marner could return on the weekend. He's missed 11 games so far with a reported high-ankle injury.⤵️ https://t.co/nbBrHaMb5A https://t.co/nbBrHaMb5A
Keefe says Rielly is available for tomorrow night. As for Marner, "likely make it more of a target for the weekend." #Leafs play in Montreal on Saturday.
Morgan Rielly is available against #GoBolts on Wednesday Mitch Marner - they’ll talk it over and feel it out but “likely make it more of a target for the weekend.” #LeafsForever @NHLdotcom
Sheldon Keefe says Morgan Rielly is available to return for the Leafs against Tampa on Wednesday. Mitch Marner likely won’t be available until Saturday in Montreal.
Considering he's coming back from a tough injury and a long layoff, it wouldn't be the worst idea for Keefe to ease Marner back in and try: Bertuzzi-Matthews-Domi McMann-Tavares-Nylander Knies (or Robertson)-Holmberg-Marner Dewar-Kampf-Reaves https://t.co/OWk4xa65NL
Sheldon Keefe says he expects Morgan Rielly (upper body) to be available tomorrow. With Mitch Marner it’s looking like toward the end of the week.
Keefe on Rielly: "He is day to day. But he is close to 100%." #Leafs
Morgan Rielly is on the ice for morning skate. Has missed the past three games with an upper body injury. #LeafsForever
Rielly among the first #Leafs on the ice for the optional morning skate
"The way things have been going, it's important to have an additional guy." Why Mitch Marner was moved to LTIR (plus more Maple Leafs injury updates): https://t.co/BPSs7LISpJ https://t.co/UZzJwnVaAu
Marner's move to LTIR has less to do with a timeline for the Maple Leafs star's return and more to do with roster flexibility. Toronto was able to recall Rifai from the Marlies ahead of its game Saturday against the Sabres. (@lukefoxjukebox) https://t.co/s6GBQ3e57b
#LeafsForever have retroactively moved Mitch Marner to LTIR in order to create the cap space needed to recall Marshall Rifai and his $775,000 cap hit. Toronto now has a total of $27,465,500 placed in LTIR relief.
No change in Mitch Marner’s status. This simply allows the Leafs to bring up an extra defenceman, in case they need him, tonight in Buffalo. Marner will miss his 10th straight game tonight, making him eligible to return from LTIR as soon as Monday (but almost certainly after). https://t.co/CHmD56Y2PS

"Whatever you guys want to say it is. It's behind me now... #Leafs forward Mitch Marner in no mood to confirm/discuss specifics of injury in first full practice with the club since getting hurt against Bruins. https://t.co/Q4iT8jKsZL https://t.co/Q4iT8jKsZL
Sheldon Keefe says Morgan Rielly is "progressing well, looks like he's turned the corner here". Expect him on the ice in the next day or so but unavailable for Saturday against Bruins. @BodogCA
Sheldon Keefe says they want to get Mitch Marner in for another practice (which next one isn't scheduled until Tuesday) until they can see where he's at for a return. @BodogCA
Sheldon Keefe on Timothy Liljegren's status: "Timeline not exactly set but not a day-to-day situation more week-to-week I would say but we're not expecting at this point to outlast the regular season. Same goes for Joel Edmundson's undisclosed injury,. @BodogCA
Mitch Marner is expected to participate in his next practice with the Leafs on Tuesday, according to Sheldon Keefe. That puts him in line to return at home against Tampa on Wednesday — or Saturday in Montreal.
#Leafs practice is underway. Morgan Rielly not participating (UBI). Remains day-to-day. @BodogCA
Morgan Rielly n’ai pas ici ce matin. Day to day with upper body injury. Has missed the past two games. #LeafsForever
