Ugly Injury: Toronto maple leaf coach cried out as william Nylander….
The Maple Leafs used the same lineup as they did in Game 2. Keefe said the fourth line of Connor Dewar-David Kampf-Ryan Reaves and the third line of Jarnkrok-Holmberg-Nicholas Robertson have provided reliable minutes in the absence of Nylander.
Jarnkrok returned to the lineup in Game 1 after missing the final 17 games of the regular season with a hand injury.
“It’s not surprising,” Keefe said. “The Kampf line has been good for us for quite some time here now, and Robertson and Holmberg have been doing a really good job for us down the stretch, and Jarnkrok, next to Reaves, is our most experienced playoff player (88 career postseason games). So, even though he missed a bunch of time — it’s tough to come back at this time of year — you feel better about it given that he has the level of experience that he does and the type of player he is. He gives you everything he has.”
TORONTO — William Nylander did not play for the Toronto Maple Leafs in a 4-2 loss to the Boston Bruins in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference First Round at Scotiabank Arena on Wednesday because of an undisclosed injury.
