"Berube ruled out the possibility of Chris Tanev undergoing surgery. Tanev has been out of the lineup since sustaining an upper-body injury on November 1, but has been skating in a red non-contact jersey throughout the past week. "I don't believe that's going to be an option right now, so just be patient and wait for the results," Berube said of Tanev, noting that the team is still waiting for the results of Wednesday's appointment."
"Henry Thrun will be making his Leafs' debut against his former team. Thrun was acquired in a trade in exchange for Ryan Reaves on July 11. "It's super exciting. Toronto is the biggest hockey market in the world, so being able to represent the NHL team here is pretty special," Thrun said after the Leafs' optional skate Thursday. Thrun said he's looking forward to proving against himself against the Sharks, with the opportunity to compete against his former teammates."
Dennis Hildeby is projected to start Thursday's game against the San Jose Sharks, making his third consecutive start after splitting optional-skate reps with Artur Akhtyamov. Joseph Woll skated at the optional session and could be available for Saturday's game against the Edmonton Oilers or Tuesday's game against the Chicago Blackhawks. Craig Berube ruled out surgery for Chris Tanev for now; Tanev has been out since suffering an upper-body injury on November 1 and has been skating in a red non-contact jersey while awaiting appointment results. Henry Thrun will debut for the Maple Leafs against his former team after being acquired for Ryan Reaves, and Reaves expressed motivation to face Toronto.
