Maple Leafs activate Chris Tanev from IR, Dakota Mermis assigned to AHL's Marlies
"When you're sort of stunned and a little bit confused, it's not ideal. But felt quite normal really soon after, which was nice, I don't think any one mimics another one. Sometimes your symptoms may last a while; sometimes they don't. Sometimes they're headaches; sometimes they're just head pressure. Could be your mood. I mean, there's so many different things a person can feel, and I don't think any one is the same."
"Tanev recorded one assist through seven games this season, and he will certainly be welcomed back into the lineup, as the Maple Leafs' rush defence continues to be a major area of concern thus far. Toronto has surrendered 31 goals at 5-on-5, the second-worst total in the NHL entering Saturday's slate. Tanev recorded three goals and 18 points in 75 games last season, maintaining his reputation as one of the league's elite defenders and shot-blockers, during his first year with the Maple Leafs."
Chris Tanev was activated from injured reserve and will return to the Toronto Maple Leafs lineup for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Flyers. Tanev described initial concussion-like symptoms as briefly disorienting but said he felt normal soon after and noted that symptoms vary widely among individuals. Toronto has surrendered 31 goals at 5-on-5, the second-worst total in the NHL, increasing the need for Tanev's defensive and shot-blocking presence. Tanev had one assist in seven games this season and posted three goals and 18 points in 75 games last season. Dakota Mermis was assigned to the AHL's Toronto Marlies. William Nylander is ruled out for Saturday and Scott Laughton appears unlikely to play.
