The Toronto Maple Leafs are officially off to the playoffs, which means it’s a good time to try to get healthy:

Keefe on Muzzin: "He's dealing with something not related to his injury that he just returned from, but he is less than 100% and needs a couple of days of treatment for that to settle down. He’s not going to play tomorrow. We’re expecting him to be available after that." #Leafs

Keefe on Kallgren, Campbell: "(Erik) is coming off a really good start and also Jack is a little bit below 100% at this point, nothing to do with his previous injury … a little bit below 100 is enough for us to give him an additional a couple of days." #Leafs

While Muzzin and Campbell are expected to be out short term (Campbell will be the backup goalie tonight), the same can’t be said for Ondrej Kase:

Ondrej Kase has been diagnosed with a concussion, coach Sheldon Keefe confirms

No timeline for his return @TSN_Edge

…. or Rasmus Sandin:

If Rasmus Sandin plays in the regular season, it will not be until the final week.

Even Auston Matthews took a maintenance day off from practice yesterday, but is expected to draw into the lineup tonight.

If the team can get Kase back for the playoffs it will definitely help, but it’s tough not to worry about how easily he sustained his latest concussion. With the added physicality of playoff hockey, it could be a recipe for disaster. His no-holds-barred style of play would certainly be a welcomed addition in the postseason though.

Enjoy the game.

GO LEAFS GO!!
