Max Pacioretty Expected To Return On Wednesday
According to David Alter of The Hockey News.com, Toronto Maple Leafs left wing Max Pacioretty (upper body) is expected to return to the starting lineup on Wednesday when the Leafs face the Minnesota Wild. Pacioretty was able to log a full practice on Tuesday and is "fully expected" to return to the starting lineup. Pacioretty was placed on the injured reserve earlier in January after getting hit in the head with a puck. The veteran forward missed only three games of action while sidelined. Fantasy managers should expect the 36-year-old to return to his role on the left side of the Toronto third line. Across his first 32 games as a Maple Leaf, Pacioretty has scored five goals and added seven helpers with 89 hits and 57 shots on goal. Given his role in the bottom six, Pacioretty is best left for deeper formats.
