It’s TIIIIIIIIMMMMME! Morgan Rielly is returning to the Maple Leafs’ lineup tonight for the first time since January 12th! The now 26-year-old (happy belated birthday) has played in 46 games so far this season with 27 points (3G 24A).

Taking Mo off LTIR hasn’t hurt the Cap too much either.

With Morgan Reilly officially activated off LTIR, we now show the #Leafs with only $92,294 in LTIR relief remaining based on their current roster.

The team currently has 4 players still on LTIR:
N. Horton
D. Clarkson
I. Mikheyev
A. Johnssonhttps://t.co/BPt2vFET34 pic.twitter.com/ru0KjjBU4f

In the 23 games he’s missed, the Leafs have gone 11-9-3 with a -3 goal differential and are currently sitting 3rd in the Atlantic. Adding Rielly back to their lineup is only going to help them. He’ll be back when the Leafs play the Lightning tonight.
