Maple Leafs' Nikita Soshnikov: Dealing with undisclosed ailment

Soshnikov will miss Wednesday's matchup with Columbus due to an undisclosed injury, Paul Hendrick of Leafs TV reports.

Analysis:

Soshnikov has managed five goals and four helpers in 56 outings this year while averaging 10:51 of ice time. Under normal circumstances, those numbers wouldn't jump off the page, but they've gotten even more buried this season with the rise of Toronto's other top rookies. His consistency in the lineup is a plus, but until the 23-year-old can start hitting the scoresheet more frequently, he will remain a low-end fantasy option. With Soshnikov sidelined, Eric Fehr will slot into the Leafs' fourth line.
