Calle Jarnkrok recently suffered an injury setback and has now undergone surgery. He will be out for months as the Leafs have no official timeline for his return.

Toronto Maple Leafs winger Calle Jarnkrok underwent surgery on Monday to repair a groin issue and a sports hernia. The team said the 33-year-old is recovering on a month-to-month basis.

Jarnkrok has not played in a game so far this season. He was placed on long-term injured reserve in early October and missed Toronto's season opener against the Montreal Canadiens.

Jarnkrok played in 52 games with the Leafs in the 2023-24 season, netting 10 goals and 21 points though he did not record a point in seven playoff appearances.

His contract currently carries an average annual value of $2.1 million.

Meanwhile, Leafs captain Auston Matthews remains out with an unspecified injury and will miss a seventh game in a row Wednesday against the Vegas Golden Knights. Matthews last played on November 3rd against the Minnesota Wild.

And with just three games on the schedule over the next 12 days, the team is taking a conservative approach to his return.

The Leafs have gone 5-1 without their top centerman and enter Wednesday on a two-game win streak. In his first season as captain, Matthews has five goals and 11 points in 13 games.
