Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe gives the latest update on Ryan O'Reilly's recovery from his broken finger, also says Noel Acciari is currently day-to-day, and won't return Wednesday vs. the Panthers.

The Toronto Maple Leafs will ice 11 forwards and seven defencemen again on Wednesday when they host the Florida Panthers.

Forward Noel Acciari is listed as day-to-day with an undisclosed injury and will not play.

Having a forward sit out is good news for Toronto's defencemen. Timothy Liljegren, Erik Gustafsson and Conor Timmins all sat on Sunday while the Maple Leafs won in Nashville, going with 12 forwards and six blueliners. Timmins has not played since Feb. 24 against Minnesota, when he logged 15:46 of ice time.

In other practice news, veteran centre Ryan O'Reilly, who is recovering from surgery on a broken finger, skated again, but not with the team. The aim, according to head coach Sheldon Keefe, is to build toward a return to action next week.
