"It's been a turbulent time for the Toronto Maple Leafs, who are sitting dead last in the Eastern Conference as of Monday. Toronto resumed practicing at the Ford Performance Centre on Monday, with two days between its next contest against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Wednesday. Toronto's 'high-minute' players did not participate in the formal session, taking part in an off-ice workout Monday morning."
"Chris Tanev and Marshall Rifai both skated ahead of practice. Tanev hasn't played since suffering an upper-body injury against the Philadelphia Flyers on November 2 and is out indefinitely. The veteran defenceman resumed skating on November 8. Rifai underwent wrist surgery in September, after suffering an injury during the preseason against the Montreal Canadiens. It's been a brutal stretch for the Maple Leafs, sporting a 9-10-3 record ahead of Wednesday's game."
The Toronto Maple Leafs are last in the Eastern Conference with a 9-10-3 record and face the Columbus Blue Jackets on Wednesday. The club resumed practice at the Ford Performance Centre while several high-minute players completed off-ice workouts instead of the formal session. Jake McCabe missed practice after suffering an upper-body injury in Saturday's loss and did not return to that game. Nicolas Roy skated fully for the first time since a November upper-body injury that cost him three games. Auston Matthews and Matthew Knies took part in a skills session but remain sidelined with lower-body issues. Chris Tanev and Marshall Rifai resumed skating while Tanev remains out indefinitely after his upper-body injury and Rifai is returning from wrist surgery. Head coach Craig Berube has struggled to settle line combinations amid the injuries.
