NHL media day: Biggest storylines as training camps open

Wednesday marked an exciting day on the NHL calendar as teams across the league held their respective media days to kick off training camp.

Here are some of the biggest news nuggets to come out of the day's festivities:

Leafs share Liljegren's tough injury news but at least Matthews is happy

The Toronto Maple Leafs will be without defenceman Timothy Liljegren for at least six weeks due to hernia surgery. He will be placed on long-term injured reserve to begin the year.

Much of the focus of the Leafs' media day revolved around Kyle Dubas's uncertain future beyond this season but Leafs fans will be relieved to hear that franchise centre Auston Matthews is still enjoying his time in Ontario's capital.
