"That's what you like to see. He's got bright eyes and a bushy tail in the morning. He's a great player, he's a huge part of this group, obviously he wants to be on the ice. First and foremost, we care most about the human being but I've been happy to see how he's been looking in the morning, he's not looking down or anything like that. He looks great."
"It's a tough feeling," Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews said of Carlo, following the November 2 game. "He's such an integral part of this team that brings so much experience. Anytime they're bringing out a stretcher, it's never a good feeling deep inside. So, we're all obviously thinking about him and praying for him and hoping for the best. Hopefully it's nothing too serious, but you never like seeing that happen."
Tanev, 35, is on injured reserve after a collision with Flyers forward Matvei Michkov that resulted in an awkward crash into the ice and a head injury. He flashed a thumbs-up to the crowd while leaving the game. Tanev is the Maple Leafs' primary defensive presence and an elite shot blocker, with two assists in eight games this season. The team signed him to a six-year contract in July 2024 and is treating his recovery with caution after two head injuries this season. Teammates have expressed concern and hope for a non-serious outcome as his return timetable remains uncertain.
