#Toronto Marlies

Not many non-goaltenders in the NHL will move a spread or total by missing a game, but one who definitely does is Toronto Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews, the reigning league MVP. He will miss his first game of the season tonight against the visiting Nashville Predators. The Leafs had been -205 favorites at Caesars Sportsbook with a total of…

Vancouver-native Morgan Rielly was chosen by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the first round (fifth overall) of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. At the end of the 2012-13 season, he made his professional debut with the American Hockey League's (AHL) Toronto Marlies. He didn't stay there long. Rielly made the Maple Leafs roster out of the team's 2013-14…

This Blackhawks season is going to test fans. It's going to test some players. It's likely to test Jonathan Toews' and Patrick Kane's loyalty. It's unlikely to test Luke Richardson. Richardson had a pretty good idea of what he was signing up for when he became the Blackhawks' coach. But even with an understanding that this team wasn't built to win…

After losing 6-4 in Belleville on Friday evening, Crunch head coach Ben Groulx demanded a response from his team, and he got one. Syracuse dominated possession and offensive-zone time for long stretches of their 3-1 win over the Marlies on Saturday. The opening frame was a low-event 20 minutes as neither team asserted dominance over the game.…

In the second of eight meetings between the two teams this season, the Cleveland Monsters, AHL affiliate of the NHL's Columbus Blue Jackets, drop the puck vs. the Rochester Americans, AHL affiliate of the NHL's Buffalo Sabres, on Thursday with full coverage, live from Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, underway at 7:00 pm on FOX Sports 1350 "The Gambler",…

The salary cap throws many hurdles in the path of a player hoping to become a Toronto Maple Leafs regular. Because the Toronto Maple Leafs are heading into the season already above the cap (though injuries may fix that a little), there's very little wiggle room. Now add the fact that there's some players on the team that are exempt from waivers to…

No longer the owner of a seven-game winless streak, the Pittsburgh Penguins will look to make it two straight wins Friday when they travel to face the Toronto Maple Leafs. Despite being down to just three healthy defensemen in the third period, the Penguins were able to hold on against the Washington Capitals Wednesday to earn their first win since…

GRAVENHURST - Morgan Rielly wouldn't mind speeding up the clock. His Maple Leafs teammates might agree. A lengthy, intense practice at the Centennial Centre on Thursday afternoon brought an end to the Leafs' trip to Muskoka, and if only the start of the regular season was next up. But there's a pair of pre-season games against the Detroit Red Wings…

In this edition of Toronto Maple Leafs' News & Rumors, I'll look at Alex Steeves' background, both within the organization and prior to his signing. Second, I'll share some not-surprising news (at least to me) that William Nylander is being tried out at the center - at least until John Tavares returns. Finally, I'll share a surprising report that…

When Kyle Clifford signed with the St. Louis Blues back in October of 2020, it seemed like a return to the Maple Leafs was never a reality. However, after one season in the blue and gold, and then two games with St. Louis in 2021, the 31-year-old found himself on the outside looking in. The Blues then placed Clifford on waivers on November 15th,…
