Toronto Maple Leafs forward Steven Lorentz took a nasty headshot from Ben Chiarot against the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday, and his status is in question.
Steven Lorentz has been a glue guy for the Toronto Maple Leafs ever since joining the team last season. He even signed a three-year deal because the team likes him that much.
Unfortunately, on Saturday against the Detroit Red Wings, he left the game early and never came back after a headshot from Ben Chiarot.
On Sunday, the forward did not practice with the team, which led to lots of concern about what his status would be for Monday's game.
Is Steven Lorentz playing against the Detroit Red Wings
As you can imagine, the Maple Leafs are looking to err on the side of caution here. At the end of the day, you don't want a player injuring themselves any worse.
An injury to the head area is quite sensitive, and as a result, Lorentz is going to be kept out of the lineup so that he can recover.
Taking his place on the fourth line today will be Dakota Joshua, who is being demoted from the third line.
Lorentz could play tomorrow.
This decision makes way for Easton Cowan to make his debut with the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday, in front of the Toronto faithful.
In fact, he will get to play on the first line with stars like Auston Matthews and Matthew Knies.
You can find the lineup for today's game, below:
Knies - Matthews - Cowan
Maccelli - Tavares - Nylander
Roberson - Domi - McMann
Joshua - Roy - Jarnkrok
Blais
McCabe - Tanev
