Report: Babcock updates Rielly's status
KeyStone Press

Toronto Maple Leafs top defenseman Morgan Rielly missed practice today and there was some concern over his condition prior to the team's Saturday night matchup against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Mike Babcock provided an update on Rielly following practice.

It sounds like he'll be okay - although we shouldn't necessarily peg him into the lineup for certain. Auston Matthews had general soreness rather than stiffness, but he ended up missing over a week of hockey to most people's surprise.

They aren't dealing with the same thing, but a seemingly insignificant absence from practice one morning turned into an extended absence for the team's star player.

We'll provide Saturday's lineup when we receive confirmation.
