Maple Leafs Centre John Tavares Out Week-to-Week with Lower-Body Injury
The Maple Leafs will reshuffle their lines after the veteran center was ruled out week-to-week with a lower-body injury.
- On Saturday, the Toronto Maple Leafs announced that forward John Tavares is sidelined week-to-week with a lower-body injury sustained during Thursday's game against the Buffalo Sabres.
- Tavares was injured in the third period of Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss after an awkward collision with Buffalo Sabres forward Josh Norris at Scotiabank Arena.
- The 36-year-old veteran has been remarkably durable, missing just 14 games over the last five seasons, and recorded seven points in seven games this season before the injury.
- With Tavares out, the Maple Leafs must shuffle their lines, with Nick Paul expected to take his spot as the team prepares to face the New York Islanders.
- Toronto could be without the veteran for up to six weeks, as the club also manages the absence of shutdown defenceman Chris Tanev with an upper-body injury.
