Colton Sissons is out week-to-week and Morgan Rielly is day-to-day, both with lower-body injuries. Jack Roslovic skated at the morning skate and Ryan Tverberg was called up.

Tough news for the Leafs and for poolers who count on their forwards. Toronto shared a handful of injury updates Tuesday morning, before hosting the Colorado Avalanche in the evening. Colton Sissons is out week-to-week with a lower-body injury, suffered Sunday in the loss to the New Jersey Devils. Morgan Rielly is day-to-day with a lower-body injury too, after missing Sunday's game. He was hurt the night before, against the Montreal Canadiens.

Marchenko still out

Kirill Marchenko, who has not played since October 26, is still week-to-week with a lower-body injury. He had six goals and eight assists in 14 games before going down.

Roslovic back skating

Some good news too for poolers. Jack Roslovic, who also missed Sunday's game with a lower-body injury, skated at the morning skate. He rejoined the top line, next to Auston Matthews and Easton Cowan. Roslovic is off to a strong start with eight goals and 10 assists in 18 games.

Tverberg recalled, Lettieri sent down

Toronto called up forward Ryan Tverberg from the Marlies. He practiced on the second line, with John Tavares and William Nylander. Tverberg, 24, has four goals and three assists in 14 AHL games this season. He played his first two NHL games last season, without a point. Vinni Lettieri was sent down to the Marlies.

What it means for your pool

Sissons has two goals and four assists in 19 games this season, and Rielly has 12 assists in 18 games. If you have Rielly, wait for the news before Tuesday's game. Tverberg, on a line with Tavares and Nylander, is worth a look in deep leagues if you want a short-term flier. Toronto, which has lost five of its last six games, hosts Colorado on Tuesday, then Minnesota on Thursday and Edmonton on Saturday.
