The Toronto Maple Leafs caused a minor sensation when forward Kasperi Kapanen was made a healthy scratch for Saturday night’s game against the Ottawa Senators. Kapanen has been oft-rumoured as a trade piece and, with the trade deadline approaching on February 24th, many wondered Kapanen’s time in the organization had come to an end.
Nope!
Sheldon Keefe said Kasperi Kapanen did not play due to “internal accountability.” One-time thing. Made a decision about it this morning.
Nothing further from Keefe on it. Said we’ll talk to Kapanen.— Kristen Shilton (@kristen_shilton) February 2, 2020What exactly Kasperi Kapanen did, we do not know and may only find out when Kapanen tells us.
