"After Thursday night's game against the San Jose Sharks, the Toronto Maple Leafs, who have been battling injuries all season, have lost another player to injury. Oliver Ekman-Larsson left the game in the third period after an awkward collision with Sharks' center Adam Gaudette. He did not return. In addition to the latest injury, Toronto is suffering from having six other players on injury reserve, including both goalies, Anthony Stolarz and Joseph Woll."
"In hopeful news, Berube revealed on Friday morning that the defenceman's injury is less severe than expected. Berube told TSN's Tony Ambrogio, I think tomorrow we will know. Hopefully, he can get on the ice. If Ekman-Larsson can skate tomorrow, there is reason for optimism amongst Leaf fans. Berube also provided a cryptic as-ever update on goaltender Anthony Stolarz when asked if his season was in jeopardy, I wouldn't go there, but he's not going to be on the ice anytime soon."
Oliver Ekman-Larsson left a game after an awkward collision with Sharks center Adam Gaudette and did not return. The Maple Leafs currently have six additional players on injured reserve, including both goalies Anthony Stolarz and Joseph Woll. The defenceman's injury appears less severe than initially feared, with optimism he might skate the following day. Anthony Stolarz is not expected to be on the ice anytime soon, though his season was not declared over. Brandon Carlo underwent foot surgery on December 3 and will be out indefinitely after originally being hurt on November 13. The backup tandem of Dennis Hildeby and Artur Akhtyamov has performed surprisingly well.
