Sheldon Keefe reveals the status of Morgan Rielly and Mitch Marner

Mitch Marner and Morgan Rielly have both been absent from the Toronto Maple Leafs lineup, and now Sheldon Keefe has revealed a timeline for return.

Despite the absence of two key players, the Toronto Maple Leafs have continued rolling, with a big win over the rival Florida Panthers on Monday despite missing both Marner and Rielly. Now, the good news keeps on coming, as Head Coach Sheldon Keefe has now given an update on the two injured veterans.





Morgan Rielly has only been missing for four games, but the defenseman is slated to return against another division rival on Wednesday after the team had to recall Marshall Rifai on Monday to fill in the hole in the lineup.

As for Marner, the team are clearly being cautious with his recovery, as he's not set to return until the weekend against the rival Montreal Canadiens, but that will give him multiple games to get back up to speed ahead of the playoffs, so ultimately great news for the Maple Leafs.
