"Leading the charge in the latest injury update is that captain Auston Matthews is most likely a game-time decision after blocking a shot against Detroit over the weekend. But less notably, defenseman Chris Tanev and forward Dakota Joshua are also out with no timeline attributed to them. In response for those two, defenseman Matt Benning and young center Jacob Quillan have been recalled from the Marlies."
"For a little bit more information than the Leafs provided, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman notes that Tanev's injury is not related to the previous injuries he suffered that made him miss a massive chunk of the season already. Additionally, it looks like he could be out for "some time" -- just to really add an empty hole on Toronto's blue line."
The Toronto Maple Leafs enter the game against the New Jersey Devils dealing with multiple injuries. Captain Auston Matthews is listed as a game-time decision after blocking a shot against Detroit and sustaining a lower-body issue. Defenseman Chris Tanev is out with a lower-body injury and has no connection to his earlier injuries; he could be sidelined for some time. Forward Dakota Joshua is out with an upper-body injury and has no timetable. The team recalled defenseman Matt Benning and young center Jacob Quillan from the Toronto Marlies to fill roster spots. William Nylander remains day-to-day.
