Sharks' Ryan Reaves: Placed on IR
Reaves (lower body) was put on injured reserve Sunday, according to Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News.
The Sharks recalled Ethan Cardwell in a corresponding move. Reaves is day-to-day after being injured in Thursday's 5-2 win over New Jersey. He will miss his second straight game against Detroit on Sunday, and it's unclear when he will be ready to return. Reaves has two goals, six shots on net, 37 hits and 10 PIM across 10 appearances this season.

Sharks' Ryan Reaves: Undergoing further evaluation
Reaves (lower body) will undergo further evaluation Saturday, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now on Friday.
Reaves isn't expected to play in Saturday's clash against Colorado, and there is concern that his injury might be significant. The 38-year-old has two goals, 10 PIM and 37 hits in 10 appearances this year. Michael Misa was a healthy scratch for Thursday's 5-2 win over New Jersey, but he'll probably draw back into the lineup Saturday.

Sharks' Ryan Reaves: Dealing with lower-body injury
Reaves (lower body) didn't finish Thursday's game versus the Devils and will be evaluated in the coming days, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
Reaves was held out of the third period because of the injury. His status for Saturday's game versus the Avalanche will be determined after further testing is completed. Should Reaves miss time, Michael Misa will likely draw back into the lineup.

Sharks' Ryan Reaves: Tallies in Sunday's win
Reaves scored a goal in Sunday's 6-5 overtime win over the Wild.
Reaves made the most of his 3:42 of ice time, which was a season low. He's up to two goals on four shots while adding 31 hits, 10 PIM and a minus-2 rating over eight appearances. The Sharks are leaning heavily on their top forwards, so a fourth-line winger like Reaves is likely to remain heavily limited in terms of ice time.

Sharks' Ryan Reaves: Goal, fight in overtime loss
Reaves scored a goal and added a fighting major in Saturday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Ducks.
Reaves made some noise in the first period, first with a goal 11:12 into the game and then a fight against Ross Johnston a few minutes later. The 38-year-old Reaves has held down a fourth-line role to start 2025-26, adding six hits over two games. He may not be an everyday presence in the lineup, especially if Michael Misa holds onto a spot once Misa makes his NHL debut.

Sharks' Ryan Reaves: Heading west in trade
Reaves was traded to the Sharks from the Maple Leafs on Thursday in exchange for Henry Thrun.
Reaves' role at this stage of his career is to bring grit and leadership. That still has some intangible value, but moving to the Sharks doesn't improve his outlook on offense. Look for Reaves to be in the mix for a fourth-line role early in 2025-26, though he could be bumped to the press box if any prospects are more deserving of ice time.

Maple Leafs' Ryan Reaves: Summoned from AHL
Reaves was recalled from AHL Toronto on Friday, according to Dave McCarthy of NHL.com.
Reaves was placed on waivers prior to the NHL trade deadline March 7 and subsequently sent to the minors after he passed through waivers. The feisty winger had two assists, 28 PIM and 103 hits across 35 NHL regular-season games with Toronto before his demotion. He could see some playoff action if coach Craig Berube thinks that some of his players are being taken advantage of by the opposition.

Maple Leafs' Ryan Reaves: Placed on waivers Thursday
Reaves was placed on waivers Thursday, per Chris Johnston of The Athletic.
Reaves has played in 35 of the Maple Leafs' 62 contests this season. The feisty fourth-liner has two assists, 103 hits and 28 PIM this season. The move is expected to free up some cap space for the Leafs ahead of Friday's trade deadline.

Maple Leafs' Ryan Reaves: Playing Friday
Reaves will play for the first time in six games Friday against the Rangers, per Peter Baugh of The Athletic.
Reaves has been a healthy scratch of late, but will enter the lineup as a deterrent to the Rangers' resident tough guy Matt Rempe. The feisty Reaves has 28 PIM, as well as a pair of assists and 97 hits over 33 contests this season. Reaves could be a streaming option for fantasy managers looking for penalty minutes Friday. He will replace Alex Steeves in the lineup.

Maple Leafs' Ryan Reaves: Playing time could become thin
Reaves was scratched for Saturday's 4-3 win over the Oilers.
Reaves played in just seven of 13 games for Toronto in January. The 38-year-old winger could have a lighter workload following the returns of John Tavares (lower body) and Matthew Knies (upper body). Reaves will still offer a veteran alternative if Nicholas Robertson's performance slips or Pontus Holmberg and David Kampf see the occasional scratch since the Maple Leafs are close to full health up front. In 32 appearances this season, Reaves has two assists, 94 hits, 28 PIM and 13 shots on net.

Maple Leafs' Ryan Reaves: Hands out assist
Reaves recorded an assist and six hits in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Islanders.
Reaves has played in nine of 14 games since the end of his five-game suspension Dec. 2. The 37-year-old had gone 11 outings without a point prior to Tuesday, when he set up Steven Lorentz on the game-winning goal. Reaves' offense has been limited as usual this year -- he has two assists and 10 shots on net through 25 appearances. He's added 81 hits, 23 PIM and an even plus-minus rating, but he could lose his place in the lineup once Auston Matthews (upper body) or Pontus Holmberg (illness) return to action.

Maple Leafs' Ryan Reaves: Finishes serving suspension
Reaves is eligible to return to the lineup versus Nashville on Wednesday after completing his five-game suspension.
Reaves received the five-game ban for an illegal check to the head against Edmonton's Darnell Nurse on Nov. 16. He has one assist, 23 PIM and 44 hits through 16 outings this season.

Maple Leafs' Ryan Reaves: Receives five-game suspension
Reaves was suspended for five games by the NHL Department of Player Safety on Sunday for an illegal check to the head against Edmonton's Darnell Nurse (upper body) in Saturday's contest.
Reaves won't be eligible to return until Nov. 4 against Nashville. He has one assist, 23 PIM and 44 hits through 16 outings this season. If Auston Matthews (upper body) isn't ready to return, Alex Steeves could replace Reaves in the lineup against Vegas on Wednesday.

Maple Leafs' Ryan Reaves: Having hearing with DPOS
Reaves will have a hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety on Sunday for an illegal check to the head against Edmonton's Darnell Nurse (upper body) in Saturday's game.
Reaves earned 15 PIM in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Oilers after being assessed a match penalty for the hit at the 2:41 mark of the second period. He will probably receive a suspension. Reaves has one assist, 23 PIM and 44 hits through 16 games this season. If Auston Matthews (upper body) isn't ready to return, Alex Steeves could replace Reaves in the lineup against Vegas on Wednesday.

Maple Leafs' Ryan Reaves: Supplemental discipline looming
Reaves received a match penalty and will likely face supplemental discipline for an illegal check to the head of the Oilers' Darnell Nurse in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win.
Reaves drove his shoulder up into an unsuspecting Nurse's jaw, snapping his head and flipping him over before he smacked the ice hard. Nurse's face was cut badly, and he initially couldn't get up on his own. He left and didn't return. Reaves is averaging about eight minutes of ice time and has played in 16 games. His greatest value is in his hitting, but he can't help if he's suspended. We'll know more before Toronto's upcoming game against Vegas on Wednesday.

Maple Leafs' Ryan Reaves: Snags rare helper
Reaves posted an assist and three hits in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Canadiens.
Reaves saw a season-high 12:20 of ice time and could be in line to play more regularly after Max Pacioretty (lower body) was hurt in the first period Saturday. The assist was Reaves' first point of the campaign in 13 contests. He's added 37 hits, eight PIM and six shots on net, and while he provides plenty of toughness, the lack of offense makes him a no-go for fantasy.

Maple Leafs' Ryan Reaves: Filling part-time role
Reaves was scratched for the third time in 11 games when he sat out Thursday's 4-1 win over the Kraken.
The 37-year-old winger has been scratched in half of the Maple Leafs' wins. Reaves has been extremely limited in a fourth-line role, averaging 7:57 of ice time over eight appearances while adding 24 hits, six PIM and a minus-3 rating. He could still challenge Nicholas Robertson or Pontus Holmberg for a spot in the lineup, but both of those forwards offer better all-around play than an enforcer like Reaves.

Maple Leafs' Ryan Reaves: Provides assist Saturday
Reaves notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Bruins in Game 1.
Reaves had a goal in the regular-season finale and now has points in back-to-back contests for the first time since March of 2023. The 37-year-old winger produced just six points with 165 hits and 49 PIM over 49 regular-season appearances. He'll be on the fourth line when in the lineup, and his offensive contributions are likely to be limited.

Maple Leafs' Ryan Reaves: Draws back into lineup Saturday
Reaves (eye) will play Saturday against Edmonton, according to NHL.com's Dave McCarthy.
Reaves missed Wednesday's 7-3 win over Washington due to the injury. He has three goals, four points, 39 PIM and 125 hits in 39 appearances in 2023-24. Reaves' return corresponds with Tyler Bertuzzi exiting the lineup Saturday due to an illness.

Maple Leafs' Ryan Reaves: Won't play Wednesday
Reaves won't play Wednesday versus Washington because of an eye injury, per Mark Masters of TSN.
Reaves sustained the injury during his fight against Nicolas Deslauriers during Tuesday's 4-3 loss to Philadelphia. Reaves has three goals, four points, 39 PIM and 125 hits in 39 appearances in 2023-24. Due to Reaves' absence, Noah Gregor is expected to draw into the lineup against the Capitals.
