Key Maple Leafs Forward Leaves The Team Due To Personal Reasons

The Toronto Maple Leafs announced that forward Tyler Bertuzzi will not be available today due to the birth of his child.

While he will miss today the Maple Leafs do not expect his absence to be prolonged. The team announced that they are not sure if he will be back tomorrow though and are preparing to play without him just in case.

With Bertuzzi out it allows the Maple Leafs to try out new line combinations. Here are the lines they went with for this morning's skate.

Once Bertuzzi is back he will likely slot right back into his top-six role replacing Pontus Holmberg. As more updates are provided on Bertuzzi's return we will provide them to you.
