Maple Leafs' Nikita Soshnikov: Out again Thursday

Soshnikov (undisclosed) didn't participate in line rushes during pregame warmups, indicating that he'll miss a second consecutive game Thursday against New Jersey, Terry Koshan of the Toronto Sun reports.

Analysis:

Soshnikov has only notched nine points in 56 games this season, so his absence shouldn't impact many fantasy owners' lineups. With Soshnikov unavailable, Josh Leivo will draw into the lineup against the Devils.
