NHL playoffs: Can a Canadian team win the Stanley Cup after 31-year drought?
The 30-year-old Rielly, who has missed the last four contests, sits fifth in team scoring with seven goals and 44 assists in 65 games this season.
Keefe added that star winger Mitch Marner “likely” won’t play Wednesday — his 12th consecutive game missed due to a high ankle sprain — but could be an option when the Leafs visit the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday.
