What's newMorgan Rielly will miss Sunday’s game against New Jersey, and Chris Tanev will sit out for scheduled rest.

Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Morgan Rielly will miss Sunday’s home game against the New Jersey Devils after sustaining a lower-body injury Saturday against the Montreal Canadiens. Coach Jim Hiller confirmed the absence before Sunday’s game, and the NHL’s lineup report said Rielly was still being evaluated.

Rielly played one shift in the second period of Toronto’s 4-2 loss to Montreal before leaving. He finished with 5:45 of ice time.

The Maple Leafs will also sit defenceman Chris Tanev for scheduled rest against New Jersey. Tanev missed time with an upper-body injury in October.
