Ceci is questionable to play Wednesday after being moved to the COVID-19 protocol list on Tuesday morning. Markus Niemelainen was recalled from the AHL and could make his NHL debut vs. the Penguins.
Ceci has missed the last 12 games with an ankle injury but is set to return to the Maple Leafs lineup at some point last week. While Ceci is still out, a combination of Timothy Liljegren and Calle Rosen will remain on Toronto's blueline.
Ceci suffered an ankle injury on Wednesday and will miss at least one month. He'll go on IR and be re-evaluated at that time and the Maple Leafs will update his status again. In the meantime, Timothy Liljegren was recalled from the Marlies to take Ceci's spot on the roster.
Ceci is headed for injured reserve with an ankle injury that he suffered on Wednesday night. With Ceci out, Martin Marincin will likely draw into the lineup on Friday and Timothy Liljegren may be recalled from the AHL.
Ceci is a pending RFA but the Maple Leafs were able to move some big money and term by shipping Zaitsev to Ottawa. Ceci is a former first-round pick but has never reached the potential he flashed in the OHL. He is coming off of a 26-point (7G / 19A) season, which matches his career-high for points.
Ceci has missed the last four games with an upper-body injury, but will replace Ben Harpur in Colorado. Ceci had no points, a minus-4 rating and six shots on goal in his first four games of the season.
Ceci will miss his fourth straight games with an upper-body injury, but is getting close. Christian Jaros was recalled and will be in the lineup on Tuesday with Ceci still sidelined.
Ceci likely suffered the upper-body injury vs. the Flyers on Wednesday. Ceci played a season-low 19:33 TOI vs. the Flyers, suggesting he left the game in the third period. With Ceci out, Christian Jaros has been recalled from Belleville (AHL).
The Senators called Ceci questionable on Monday but he put the question marks aside when he took part in this morning’s gameday skate. Ceci has been held pointless in seven straight games and has just eight points (5G / 3A) in 40 games this season.
Ceci finished Saturday’s game vs. the Lightning, playing 24:01 TOI but he is reportedly dealing with an undisclosed injury. Monitor Ceci’s status during the Senators morning skate on Tuesday.
