Early indications are injury and lineup information will be very hard to come by via Sheldon Keefe and the Maple Leafs this playoff, which is apparently a Brad Treliving-issued mandate. Keefe did not tip his hand on whether TJ Brodie will start this series in the press box as the team’s #7 on the blue line. He didn’t confirm Ilya Samsonov as his Game 1 starter (he clearly will be). He also did not clarify William Nylander’s status or that of his other injured players.
According to TSN’s Darren Dreger, Nylander tweaked something on the recent off-day, not during this week’s practices or games.
