Yikes.

Sparks in net too

Concussion?

 

[MattySnipes]

Ya exactly. Fingers crossed, it's just soreness from that awkward collision into the boards. On top, it's a B2B so might as well bring in a fresh body.

Terrible luck getting all these injuries at the same time after being mostly healthy all year...

Did Kappy return to game after the first.
What’s the update on Kadri

 

[Moncherry]

Concussion?

That would be pretty bad considering they let him back into the game yesterday.

Yes he finished the game.

Well they did pull him after one shift.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Well they did pull him after one shift.

Since he came back I’m guessing he passed concussion protocol, does this then imply shoulder injury possibly.
Or woke up with a headache maybe

IIRC he returned after what was presumed to be concussion protocol and finished the rest of the game.

Frig sakes. Leafs are gonna have to go beast mode to pull off a win tonight with this many injuries.

I'm wondering if hes feeling a bit more today. A concussion would suck but when you see the clip of him crashing into the boards its hard not to think he got some whiplash.

Not the first time that's happened in this league. Byfuglen had the same thing happen.

 

[crump]

Good thing Dubas had the foresight to get Petan. Right?

 

[BackPassChampions]

Great. Right before playoffs.

Hopefully all players get rested up and come back just in time for the playoffs.

 

[mashedpotato]

This feels like a loss tonight in JT's old barn. Feel bad for the guy; you know there's going to be a lot of booing and a win would help the morale.

Our top lines are really going to have to play hard.

Look for Marner to really push the play as he's the type of player that would love to get a W for JT.

There is still over a month until playoffs. Better now than in a few weeks I guess.

Hopefully Kap is ok. He’s been such a huge difference maker for this team.

It's not going to be easy but we still have a wicked amount of firepower. Tavares, Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Rielly is a monster offense.

 

[mcleex]

Might as well get these injuries out of the way before playoff time

Better now than then

 

[DarkKnight]

That Leafs luck...make it stop.

 

[HolyCrap]

Agreed. With the extra emotion on line, if these guys bring it they can beat anyone. And Johnsson has been hot lately too. Hopefully sparks is solid tonight.

Definitely. I’m optimistic with our sports science team that we will get majority if not all back in time. Even if that means one or two miss a playoff game.

We’ve been one of the most healthy teams in the league, and we have our sports science department to thank for some of that.

Maybe its "Load Management".
