TSN: Chris Johnston said that Maple Leafs are proceeding with extreme caution with defenseman Jake Muzzin.
“I think it’s fair to say that Jake Muzzin is going to have some time here on the sidelines – look, the history is of the most concern here for the Leafs. He had two concussions within a month-long span last year, he’s had a number of other injuries as well, and I think given that history the Leafs are going to take a little extra care here.
Jake Muzzin had some testing on Tuesday and the expectation is it might take a few days, maybe even longer before they see how his body reacts in his recovery from this latest ailment but remember James, he missed six weeks after a second concussion last season and I would expect that there would be a lot of caution again on this one. ”
David Alter: Maple Leafs defenseman Jordie Benn was on the ice yesterday. The earliest Benn can return is November 5th.
