"The 2023 first-round pick has recorded 18 points (7g, 11a) in 29 games this season, which ranks fourth among all NHL rookies. He has the 65th-highest total points per 60 minutes in the league (2.79), ranking ahead of star names like Dylan Larkin (2.75), Clayton Keller (2.54), Filip Forsberg (2.53), Auston Matthews (2.35), and Brayden Point (2.13). Leonard's older brother, John Leonard, is set to play in his third game for the Red Wings this season against the Capitals at Capital One Arena on Saturday."
""I would call [Leonard], a day-by-day thing," Carbery said. "I don't want to put a staple on it and start a stir on he may or may not [play tomorrow]. It's a day-by-day; he's not playing today." Leonard was a full participant at the Capitals' practice on Friday, taking contact for the first time since Ducks defenseman Jacob Trouba took him out of action with a high hit."
Rookie Ryan Leonard has missed six consecutive games since suffering a shoulder injury after a high hit by Jacob Trouba on December 3. Leonard practiced fully on Friday and took contact for the first time since the hit, but he remained on injured reserve and was not available Saturday. The 2023 first-round pick has 18 points (7 goals, 11 assists) in 29 games, ranking fourth among NHL rookies and 65th in points per 60 minutes (2.79), ahead of several established stars. John Leonard will face the Capitals Saturday, and Ivan Miroshnichenko was recalled to make his season debut.
