"Just as the Toronto Maple Leafs were beginning to string together some positive momentum, the injury bug came back and bit them in a big way. After missing William Nylander on Sunday following a four-point effort, the Leafs have announced that forward Auston Matthews is now also a game-time decision for their game against the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday. The news comes after Matthews blocked a shot against the Red Wings that required him to leave the game for a little bit."
"The Leafs also announced that Dakota Joshua and Chris Tanev won't suit up against the Devils after suffering upper and lower-body injuries against the Red Wings, respectively. It's unknown when either of these injuries took place, but Joshua left the game against the Red Wings to deal with his while Tanev played out the whole game. It also appears that Nylander is also a game-time decision after he missed Sunday's game."
Auston Matthews is a game-time decision after blocking a shot against Detroit that forced him to briefly leave the game, and the ailment has continued to hamper him. William Nylander missed Sunday and now appears to be a game-time decision. Dakota Joshua and Chris Tanev will not play against the New Jersey Devils due to upper- and lower-body injuries sustained in the game against the Red Wings. The organization is limiting injury details, and the severity of these issues will influence team confidence and the challenge of securing a playoff spot. The next games are versus the Devils and the Winnipeg Jets on New Year's Day.
