Maple Leafs Dealing With Key Injuries As Playoffs Loom
The Toronto Maple Leafs are dealing with some key injuries with the Stanley Cup playoffs set to begin in less than a week.
Toronto is currently in third place in the Atlantic Division and is locked into that spot. Meaning, the Maple Leafs will go on the road to begin the first round of the playoffs.
Ahead of practice on April 15, Maple Leafs’ reporter Mark Masters revealed Max Domi is dealing with an injury. His status for Game 1 of the playoffs is uncertain.
“He’s been dealing with something & he felt it was not going to affect him to play & I don’t think that was necessarily the case,” Keefe told Masters.
Domi is not expected to play in either of the final two regular season games, as the hope is he can be ready for the start of the playoffs.
Along with Domi, Bobby McMann is also dealing with an injury and will miss the final two regular season games, and his status for the beginning of the playoffs is up in the air.
“We’ve got a week here before we get going so we’ll see where he’s at as that approaches,” Keefe said about McMann.
