Morgan Rielly

Morgan Rielly said the cross-check was 'not intended to be executed the way it was.'

Toronto delivered its most complete game in recent memory against St. Louis.

Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Morgan Rielly was suspended for his cross-check to Ottawa Senators forward Ridly Greig over the weekend.

What could losing arguably their most important player for a crucial stretch of games look like for the Maple Leafs?

As Rielly gets set for his hearing in New York, here’s a look at the factors that will determine how long he’ll be out of the Leafs lineup.

The Senators rookie is at the center of the NHL's latest debate after his wind-up slap shop from a few feet in front of an empty Leafs net.

Rielly’s numbers aren't quite as splashy as they were five years ago, but he’s shouldering a huge burden at both ends in every game.

The Maple Leafs dropped their fourth game in a row Tuesday, a 4-2 loss to the Oilers.

The Maple Leafs' 4-2 loss to the Oilers marks the fourth straight game in which Toronto has blown a lead.

“They’re every bit as important to this team as the players,” Rielly said in expressing his gratitude.

It's early, but Marner and the Maple Leafs No. 1 line haven’t hit top gear just yet.

Rielly entered the season feeling healthy and confident he can play like he did for the Leafs in last spring's playoffs.

Firing Kyle Dubas the way that Shanahan did and bringing back the core of the roster yet again should bring the "Shanaplan" into focus.

Rielly was there for all six of the first-round failures that came before the Leafs finally got over the hump against the Lightning.

Rielly’s game-winner was impressive, but his ability to stay even-keeled was even more memorable in Game 3.

The Leafs take a 2-1 series lead. Game 4 is Monday at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Relly's four points in Toronto's Game 2 win over the Lightning tied the record for most by a Maple Leafs defenseman in a playoff game.

Toronto's Game 2 win was the kind of performance the Leafs needed, desperately, from their best players.
