The Toronto Maple Leafs are 5-1-1 in their last six, even though they’ve been missing Nazem Kadri (Concussion), Travis Dermott (Shoulder) and Jake Gardiner (Back) – three of their key players, including two of their top four best defenseman.
As the Leafs showed earlier in the year when they missed Auston Matthews, Freddie Andersen and William Nylander for extended periods, they are a deep team that doesn’t miss a beat due to injuries.
Unfortunately it hasn’t mattered too much because the Bruins and Tampa never lose, but what can you do?
Kadri, Gardiner and Dermott
Nazem Kadri has been out with a concussion since February 19th, and it looks like he’ll be back any game now.
