Chris Tanev played only 11 games for the Maple Leafs this season, suffering a groin injury on December 28. He initially hoped to return for the playoffs but decided to undergo surgery on March 4 after the team's performance declined. Tanev also dealt with a concussion and another lower-body injury earlier in the season. His recovery process was influenced by the team's standings, leading him to prioritize surgery for a better preparation for the next season.
