Maple Leafs' Brandon Carlo suffers setback in recovery from lower-body injury
"Carlo has returned to Toronto to consult with a specialist. He was placed on injured reserve retroactive to November 13, and hasn't played since suiting up against the Los Angeles Kings. It was previously expected that if Carlo was able to undergo a full practice Monday, he could be an option for Tuesday's game against the Florida Panthers. Carlo did not participate in Monday's practice."
"It's a tough loss for the Maple Leafs, who have faced several injuries this season. Auston Matthews, Matthew Knies and Nicolas Roy all returned to the lineup last week after multi-game, injury-related absences. Chris Tanev remains on injured reserve, but the team received some good news Monday, with Oliver Ekman-Larsson returning to practice. Ekman-Larsson left Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Penguins and did not return, due to an upper-body injury. Simon Benoit also returned to practice, after missing Saturday's game to attend a funeral."
Brandon Carlo suffered a setback in his recovery from a lower-body injury and returned to Toronto to consult with a specialist. He was placed on injured reserve retroactive to November 13 and has not played since facing the Los Angeles Kings. Carlo resumed skating on November 26 but did not participate in Monday's practice, removing him as an option for Tuesday's game against the Florida Panthers. The earliest realistic timeline for his return appears to be December 6 against the Montreal Canadiens. Carlo has recorded two assists in 18 games this season and was acquired from the Boston Bruins at last year's trade deadline.
