The 36-year-old veteran had two goals and five assists in seven games this season before getting injured. Toronto is already coping with the absence of defenceman Chris Tanev, who remains out week-to-week due to an upper-body injury. This setback means the Maple Leafs will have to adapt without key players as they face the New York Islanders on Saturday.
