Good to go Sunday Lyubushkin (illness) will be in Sunday's lineup against Carolina, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Lyubushkin will return after missing the last three contests. The 29-year-old has two assists in seven games since joining the Maple Leafs.

Unavailable for Saturday Lyubushkin (illness) will not be in the lineup against Edmonton on Saturday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Lyubushkin will be out of action for his third consecutive game due to his lingering illness. In seven games since joining the Leafs, the 29-year-old defenseman has managed just two assists, four shots and 28 hits. Given his limited offensive upside, most fantasy players won't be impacted by his continued absence.

Under the weather Lyubushkin is dealing with an illness and is not expected to play against the Flyers on Tuesday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Lyubushkin still hasn't scored a goal this season, adding just six assists in 62 games for the Ducks and Leafs. As such, few fantasy players will likely be impacted by his potential absence, though he has racked up plenty of hits (140) and blocks (148) and could have value in formats that value defensive stats.

Expected to play Saturday Lyubushkin (undisclosed) participated in Saturday's morning skate and is expected to be in the lineup versus Carolina, according to Mark Masters of TSN.

Impact Lyubushkin was injured Thursday in Philadelphia. The Maple Leafs won't take any chances and will have Simon Benoit partake in the warmup prior to puck drop, just in case Lyubushkin suffers a setback. Lyubushkin has six assists in 61 games this season.

MARCH 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Saturday Lyubushkin (undisclosed) was not at practice Friday after getting banged up Thursday in Philadelphia, Mark Masters of TSN reports.

Impact Coach Sheldon Keefe said Friday that Lyubushkin 'took some hits (Thursday) and things tightened up on him Friday.' Keefe said that the Maple Leafs were hopeful that Lyububshkin would be able to suit up Saturday against the Hurricanes, but the team will wait to see how he responds. Lyubushkin has two assists in six games with Toronto this season and chipped in with four helpers in 55 games with the Ducks earlier in the campaign. A decision should be made ahead of Saturday's home game.

MARCH 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs first point since trade Lyubushkin assisted on the Maple Leafs' lone goal during Monday's 4-1 loss to the Bruins.

Impact It's Lyubushkin's first point since being traded back to Toronto from Anaheim. The assist gives him no goals and five assists through 57 games. Clearly, the Maple Leafs believe he can help them push for a deep playoff run. However, fantasy managers should proceed with caution.

Good to go Lyubushkin (head) is expected to play Monday against Boston, Mark Masters of TSN reports.

Impact Lyubushkin exited Saturday's win over the Rangers in the second period after absorbing a heavy hit from New York's Matt Rempe, but it appears he's already shaken off his issue. The 29-year-old Russian, who's picked up four helpers and 116 blocks through 56 games between the Ducks and the Maple Leafs this season, is expected to skate alongside Morgan Reilly in the top four versus the Bruins.

Exits after heavy hit Lyubushkin (head) exited Saturday's game versus the Rangers, Joshua Kloke of The Athletic reports.

Impact Lyubushkin took a heavy hit from Matt Rempe in the second period. This was his return to the Maple Leafs after being traded from the Ducks on Thursday. The Leafs are short on defensemen, so it's unclear what they'll do if Lyubushkin misses additional time.

Leafs acquireing Lyubushkin from Ducks: Sources Through 55 games this season, Lyubushkin has four points (zero goals, four assists).

MARCH 1, 2024 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Heading back to Toronto Lyubushkin was traded from the Ducks to the Maple Leafs via the Hurricanes on Thursday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact The Hurricanes will retain salary in the deal and receive a sixth-round pick, while the Ducks will get a third-round pick in the three-team swap. Lyubushkin had six points in 31 contests with the Maple Leafs in 2021-22 following a trade from the Coyotes, and he added 14 points over 68 outings with the Sabres last season. He's been less effective on offense in 2023-24, with four assists and 38 shots on net over 55 contests, though he's added a physical element in a bottom-four role with 112 hits, 138 blocked shots and 51 PIM.

MARCH 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to lineup Wednesday Lyubushkin (upper body) will return to action at home Wednesday against San Jose, per Alyson Lozoff of Bally Sports West.

Impact Lyubushkin hasn't produced much for Anaheim this year only recording four assists in 46 games. The 29-year-old will look to help the struggling Ducks with his defensive play where he's logged 72 hits and 119 blocked shots on the season. He will line up on the third defensive pairing with Urho Vaakanainen.

JANUARY 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Thursday Lyubushkin (upper body) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Wild.

Impact Lyubushkin will be out for the third time in the last four games. The 29-year-old defenseman has gone 12 contests without a point, so his absence won't be noticed much in fantasy. He has one chance to return before the Ducks' bye week -- Wednesday at home versus the Sharks.

JANUARY 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out Thursday Lyubushkin (upper body) is day-to-day and won't play Thursday against Dallas.

Impact Lyubushkin missed Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Rangers but was able to return for Tuesday's 4-2 victory over Buffalo. It's not clear if he's dealing with the same upper-body injury that cost him Saturday's game or if this is a new issue. Lyubushkin has four assists, 51 PIM, 72 hits and 119 blocks in 46 outings this season. Robert Hagg will draw back into the lineup due to Lyubushkin's absence.

JANUARY 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back in action Lyubushkin (upper body) will play in Tuesday's game versus the Sabres.

Impact Lyubushkin's status amounted to a game-time decision, but he'll suit up on the third pairing after a one-game absence. He'll be paired with Olen Zellweger, who is making his NHL debut Tuesday. Lyubushkin hasn't recorded a point in his last 11 games.

JANUARY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Sunday Lyubushkin (upper body) is not in Sunday's lineup against the Rangers.

Impact Lyubushkin was a late scratch Sunday and it's unclear when he picked up the injury or how serious it is. He has just four points in 45 games this season and is scoreless over his last 11 games. Robert Hagg will suit up in his place Sunday.
