Top Ilya Lyubushkin News

  • Stars' Ilya Lyubushkin: Staying in lineup Thursday

    Lyubushkin (upper body) will be in action against the Flyers on Thursday, Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars reports.

    Lyubushkin was injured against the Rangers on Tuesday but won't miss any additional game time. Considering the blueliner is stuck in a season-long goal drought and has managed just one helper in his last 12 contests, few fantasy managers will be impacted by Lyubushkin staying in the lineup.

  • Stars' Ilya Lyubushkin: Doubtful to finish game

    Lyubuhskin (upper body) is doubtful to return to Tuesday's game versus the Rangers.

    It's unclear when Lyubushkin was injured, but he did not come out of the locker room for the third period. The 30-year-old defenseman can be considered day-to-day for now. If he misses Thursday's game in Philadelphia, Matt Dumba will likely draw into the lineup.

  • Stars' Ilya Lyubushkin: Picks up assist

    Lyubushkin recorded an assist, six hits and two blocked shots in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild.

    The helper was Lyubushkin's second over 12 contests in December. The 30-year-old defenseman has occasionally had to play a larger role due to absences this month, but with the Stars' blue line near full strength, he's in a third-pairing spot. The Russian blueliner has eight helpers, 21 shots on net, 44 hits, 56 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 34 appearances. Outside of the deepest banger leagues, Lyubushkin doesn't make for a strong fantasy option.

  • Stars' Ilya Lyubushkin: Gathers helper Sunday

    Lyubushkin logged an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Flames.

    Lyubushkin ended a seven-game slump when he assisted on a Jason Robertson tally in the second period. Long gaps between points shouldn't come as a surprise since Lyubushkin is more valued for his physical play than his offense. He has seven helpers, 15 shots on net, 31 hits, 46 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 27 outings this season, putting him one point shy of matching his production from 74 games between the Ducks and the Maple Leafs in the 2023-24 regular season.

  • Stars' Ilya Lyubushkin: Contributes assist in win

    Lyubushkin notched an assist, two hits, three blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Lightning.

    Lyubushkin had a shot attempt that pinged in off Evgenii Dadonov. The helper was Lyubushkin's sixth over 10 contests in November, which is one of the best stretches of his career. That's all the offense the 30-year-old blueliner has this year, and he's added 21 hits, 37 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 19 appearances. His career high in points is 14 from the 2021-22 campaign, which he split between the Coyotes and the Maple Leafs, but it's too soon to tell if he'll come close to that mark this year.

  • Stars' Ilya Lyubushkin: Dishes pair of helpers

    Lyubushkin notched two assists, two shots on goal, a plus-2 rating and four blocked shots in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Wild.

    Lyubushkin has just five assists this season, all of which have come over seven contests in November. This was his second multi-point effort of the campaign, as he helped out on both of Mason Marchment's goals. Lyubushkin's biggest contributions are usually of the physical variety -- he's recorded at least one blocked shot in each game this season. The blueliner has 30 blocks, 17 hits, eight shots on net and a plus-4 rating through 16 appearances while filling a bottom-four role.

  • Stars' Ilya Lyubushkin: Generates assist

    Lyubushkin logged an assist, three hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.

    Lyubushkin has found some offense in November, posting three assists over his last three contests. The defenseman did not get on the scoresheet over nine games in October. That's not unusual -- he brings a physical element to the Stars' blue line, with little offense to add. He's recorded six shots on net, four PIM, 15 hits, 22 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 12 appearances in a bottom-four role.

  • Stars' Ilya Lyubushkin: Contributes offense in defeat

    Lyubushkin provided two even-strength assists in Friday's 6-4 defeat to the Panthers.

    Lyubushkin's pair of helpers were his first two points of the campaign. The Russian blueliner added one shot, one block, two hits and a plus-2 rating in 18:33 of ice time to round out a solid fantasy performance. While Lyubushkin isn't known for his offensive prowess, he's currently paired with offensive-minded Thomas Harley, so there could be an opportunity for the former to challenge his career-high mark in points (15), which he achieved during the 2021-22 campaign split between Arizona and Toronto.

  • Stars' Ilya Lyubushkin: Inks three-year agreement

    Lyubushkin signed a three-year, $9.75 million contract with the Stars on Monday.

    Lyubushkin had eight points (all assists), 57 PIM, 176 hits and 168 blocked shots in 74 regular-season contests between Anaheim and Toronto in 2023-24. The 30-year-old is likely to serve primarily on the third pairing with the Stars. Between Lyubushkin and Matt Dumba, who also signed a two-year deal with the Stars, Dallas is adding a lot of grit to its defense.

  • Maple Leafs' Ilya Lyubushkin: Logs helper in loss

    Lyubushkin notched an assist and nine hits in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Bruins in Game 4.

    Lyubushkin has had a busy couple of days after making a round trip from Toronto to California to attend the birth of his daughter. The 30-year-old was able to avoid missing a game and now has two assists, 16 hits and three blocked shots over four playoff contests. Lyubushkin remains a steady part of the Maple Leafs' bottom four even as the team faces a 3-1 series deficit heading into Tuesday's Game 5.

  • Maple Leafs' Ilya Lyubushkin: Back at practice Saturday

    Lyubushkin (personal) is back at practice Saturday and will be in the lineup for Game 4 versus Boston, according to Mark Masters of TSN.

    Lyubushkin went to California after Wednesday's Game 3 loss to Boston and witnessed the birth of his daughter. Lyubushkin had four assists, 64 hits and 30 blocked shots in 19 regular-season games with Toronto after he was dealt from Anaheim at the end of February. He will team up with Morgan Rielly on the top defensive pairing for Saturday's tilt with the Bruins.

  • Maple Leafs' Ilya Lyubushkin: Misses practice Friday

    Lyubushkin (personal) missed practice Friday, but he'll still be an option to play Saturday in Game 4 versus Boston, per Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun.

    Lyubushkin left the team for the birth of his third child after Wednesday's loss to Boston. The 30-year-old rearguard is expected to return ahead of Game 4 versus Boston on Saturday. Lyubushkin had four assists, 64 hits and 30 blocked shots in 19 regular-season games with the Maple Leafs after he was dealt from Anaheim on Feb. 29. Look for Timothy Liljegren to remain in the lineup, should Lyubushkin be unavailable Saturday.

  • Maple Leafs' Ilya Lyubushkin: Records apple

    Lyubushkin recorded an assist in Monday's 3-2 win over Boston.

    Lyubushkin's secondary assist came late in the third period when Auston Matthews scored on a breakaway to put the Leafs up 3-2. The 30-year-old Lyubushkin was on the ice for two of the Maple Leafs' three goals and logged 13:40 of ice time. He will likely skate on the first defensive pairing with Morgan Rielly during Game 3 on Wednesday.

  • Maple Leafs' Ilya Lyubushkin: Good to go Sunday

    Lyubushkin (illness) will be in Sunday's lineup against Carolina, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

    Lyubushkin will return after missing the last three contests. The 29-year-old has two assists in seven games since joining the Maple Leafs.

  • Maple Leafs' Ilya Lyubushkin: Unavailable for Saturday

    Lyubushkin (illness) will not be in the lineup against Edmonton on Saturday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

    Lyubushkin will be out of action for his third consecutive game due to his lingering illness. In seven games since joining the Leafs, the 29-year-old defenseman has managed just two assists, four shots and 28 hits. Given his limited offensive upside, most fantasy players won't be impacted by his continued absence.

  • Maple Leafs' Ilya Lyubushkin: Under the weather

    Lyubushkin is dealing with an illness and is not expected to play against the Flyers on Tuesday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

    Lyubushkin still hasn't scored a goal this season, adding just six assists in 62 games for the Ducks and Maple Leafs. As such, few fantasy managers will likely be impacted by his potential absence, though he has racked up plenty of hits (140) and blocked shots (148) and could have value in formats that value defensive stats.

  • Maple Leafs' Ilya Lyubushkin: Expected to play Saturday

    Lyubushkin (undisclosed) participated in Saturday's morning skate and is expected to be in the lineup versus Carolina, according to Mark Masters of TSN.

    Lyubushkin was injured Thursday in Philadelphia. The Maple Leafs won't take any chances and will have Simon Benoit partake in the warmup prior to puck drop, just in case Lyubushkin suffers a setback. Lyubushkin has six assists in 61 games this season.

  • Maple Leafs' Ilya Lyubushkin: Questionable for Saturday

    Lyubushkin (undisclosed) was not at practice Friday after getting banged up Thursday in Philadelphia, Mark Masters of TSN reports.

    Coach Sheldon Keefe said the Maple Leafs are hopeful Lyububshkin will be able to suit up Saturday against the Hurricanes, but the team will wait to see how he responds at morning skate. Lyubushkin has two assists in six games with Toronto this season and chipped in with four helpers in 55 games with the Ducks earlier in the campaign.

  • Maple Leafs' Ilya Lyubushkin: Grabs first point since trade

    Lyubushkin assisted on the Maple Leafs' lone goal during Monday's 4-1 loss to the Bruins.

    It's Lyubushkin's first point since being traded back to Toronto from Anaheim. The assist gives him no goals and five assists through 57 games. Clearly, the Maple Leafs believe he can help them push for a deep playoff run. However, fantasy managers should proceed with caution.
