JUSTIN:Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman suffer upper-body …..
Toronto Maple Leafs blueliner William Lagesson had to drag out of the team’s diversion against the Anaheim Ducks with an upper-body harm.
It isn’t clear what precisely the 27-year-old strained. Early within the to begin with period, he come to for the puck whereas attempting to hold it within the hostile zone, but seem not keep it in. He went back to the seat in a few distress, and in the long run went down the burrow into the dressing room.
Lagesson was on the ice for fair 1:
31.
It’ll be curiously to see what the Leafs do on the blueline, depending on the seriousness of Lagesson’s harm. They are still without their star defenseman, Morgan Rielly, for two more games as he serves his five-game suspension for cross-checking Ridly Greig of the Ottawa Legislators. The Leafs might got to see to call someone up from their American Hockey Alliance associate, the Toronto Marlies.
The previous Edmonton Oiler has been decently solid since coming to Toronto this season, lost a handful of diversions in early December due to sickness. In 24 recreations, he has enlisted fair three helps, with his final point coming on Dec. 14 against the Columbus Blue Coats.
Lagesson marked a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Leafs on July 1, after spending last season on an AHL contract with the Chicago Wolves. The Gothenburg, Sweden local played the primary five games of his season with the Marlies some time recently getting called up to the Leafs, where he has remained ever since.
