Craig Berube | Pre Game @ Washington Capitals | December 18, 2025 | Toronto Maple Leafs Head Coach Craig Berube addresses the media ahead of tonight's game against the Washington Capitals.
DECEMBER 18, 2025 • NHL.COM
Matias Maccelli - Won't play against Capitals Maccelli (illness) won't play in Thursday's game against Washington, Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports.
Impact Maccelli missed Tuesday's game against Chicago due to an illness, and it's unclear whether he's still dealing with the ailment, as he was a healthy scratch for seven consecutive games prior to Tuesday's matchup. He'll be sidelined once again Thursday, but head coach Craig Berube said that he wants to get the 25-year-old into a game soon, suggesting that Maccelli isn't facing a long-term absence.
DECEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Dennis Hildeby - Drawing start against Washington Hildeby will defend the road crease against Washington on Thursday, Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports.
Impact Hildeby is coming off a rough start at home against the Oilers on Saturday, as he was pulled in the third period after allowing six goals on 32 shots (.813 save percentage). However, he had been effective over his three prior starts, posting a 1.28 GAA and .958 save percentage despite a somewhat unlucky 1-0-2 record during that time.
DECEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Marshall Rifai - Sent down for conditioning Rifai (wrist) was reassigned to AHL Toronto on a conditioning assignment Thursday.
Impact Rifai has yet to get into a game this year, but would appear to be progressing with his stint in the minors. The Marlies play against AHL Belleville on Saturday and Sunday, so it's possible that Rifai will be recalled ahead of the Maple Leafs' clash with Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

Capitals take on the Maple Leafs on losing streak

The Washington Capitals will try to break a three-game skid when they play the Toronto Maple Leafs
DECEMBER 17, 2025 • Associated Press
Calle Jarnkrok - Losing favor in December Jarnkrok was scratched for the fourth time in seven games in December when he sat out Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Impact Jarnkrok's three-game goal streak to begin the year is distant memory now -- he's scored just once since then. The 34-year-old forward has four goals, 21 shots on net, 14 hits and a minus-8 rating over 21 appearances. Fantasy managers won't need to roster him as long as he's stuck in a part-time role, and likely beyond that as well, as he probably won't see more than fourth-line usage.
DECEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Jake McCabe - Assists in three straight games McCabe logged an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Impact McCabe helped out on Dakota Joshua's game-winning goal with 3:01 left in the third period. This was McCabe's third straight game with a helper, and he has four helpers over seven outings in December. For the season, the defenseman is at 14 points, 23 shots on net, 23 PIM, 47 hits, 82 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating over 32 appearances. As long as he's chipping in offense semi-regularly, McCabe makes for a decent depth defenseman in fantasy.

Auston Matthews makes feelings known about his choice of celebration in response to Leafs fans raining down boos earlier in game The Toronto Maple Leafs rallied from a 2-0 deficit to defeat the Chicago Blackhawks 3-2 Tuesday night at Scotiabank Arena scoring three thir...
DECEMBER 17, 2025 • SPORTSKEEDA.COM
Joseph Woll - Solid in return from injury Woll (lower body) made 23 saves in a 3-2 win over the Blackhawks on Tuesday.
Impact Woll surrendered two goals, including a shorthanded snipe, in a 4:37 span in the first period and then settled in. He had missed four games due to injury. Woll kept his team in the game in the second and most of the third when boos rained down for their weak play. Still, the Leafs are 5-1-2 in the past eight games, and they should do as well or better with Woll back in the paint. He's 5-3-1 overall with a 2.39 GAA and .927 save percentage.

Oliver Ekman-Larsson - Goals in back-to-back games Ekman-Larsson scored a goal Tuesday in a 3-2 win over Chicago.
Impact He has a goal in each of his last two games (four shots). Ekman-Larsson has already put up 22 points, including six goals, in 32 contests in 2025-26. He delivered 29 (four goals, 25 assists) in 77 games last season.
DECEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Dakota Joshua - Goal in each of last two games Joshua (illness) scored a goal Tuesday in a 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Impact Joshua's goal capped a Leafs comeback -- he scored eight seconds after Auston Matthews tied the game late in the third frame. He lifted the defender's stick, grabbed the rebound and lifted it over Spencer Knight's glove from the slot. Joshua missed Saturday's game due to illness, but he has a goal in each of his last two games. He also has four PIM and 10 hits in that span.
DECEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
William Nylander - Dry December may be improving Nylander had two assists in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Chicago.
Impact Nylander has had a bit of dry December. He has no goals and four assists, courtesy of two, two-point outings, and 10 shots in seven games this month. Even with this slow stretch, Nylander continues to lead the Leafs with 11 goals and 36 points in 28 games. He'll heat up again soon -- those two multi-point games have come in his last three contests.
DECEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Auston Matthews - First multi-pointer in seven games Matthews had a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Chicago.
Impact Matthews tied the game 2-2 with a power-play snipe at 16:51 of the third period. He picked up the puck behind the net and wheeled out, ripping a shot over Spencer Knight's glove from the below the right hashmarks. It was Matthews first multi-point game in seven games. Overall, he has 14 goals, nine assists and 102 shots in 27 games this season.
