Yesterday, the Toronto Maple Leafs got some bad news involving Dakota Joshua and Chris Tanev, and today, that news got a whole lot worse.
The injury bug has hit the Toronto Maple Leafs extremely hard this season, and there is no better example of this than Chris Tanev, who has consistently dealt with injuries.
He started the season with back-to-back concussions. Now, he is dealing with a groin injury that threatens his season.
Today, Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube confirmed the worst, noting that both of these players are going to be out for a significant amount of time.
Overall, this is a huge blow to the Maple Leafs as now, they are without one of their best defenseman and one of their best grinders.
Auston Matthews and William Nylander are also injured right now, which has put the Maple Leafs in the worst position possible.
Where do the Toronto Maple Leafs go from here?
The Toronto Maple Leafs are playing the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night, and it remains to be seen whether or not Auston Matthews and William Nylander are going to play.
If there is one thing for certain, it is that the Maple Leafs have to show some resilience if they want to get over whatever is going on with these injuries.
It has been a truly rough stretch for the team, and there is no guarantee that things are going to get better. They will just have to be patient.
That said, last night's win over the New Jersey Devils will certainly be something to build on.
