Tampa Bay Lightning forward Valtteri Filppula (upper body) will rejoin the lineup Monday against the Maple Leafs, Michelle Gingras of Fox Sports Sun reports.

Analysis:

Sidelined since March 15 with the upper-body issue, the Lightning will welcome the 32-year-old back to Monday's lineup as the team continues to jostle for playoff position. While his 28 points, 90 shots on goal through 69 games don't really stand out, Filppula's 18:22 of average ice time keep him fantasy-relevant in some leagues. He skated on alongside Alex Killorn and Steven Stamkos on the top line again Monday, so there's no reason to believe the Finnish forward won't resume the same role in his return to the lineup.
