Maple Leafs update the status of defenceman Jake Muzzin
The Toronto Maple Leafs announced on Monday morning that defenceman Jake Muzzin is out indefinitely with a cervical spine injury and will be re-evaluated in late February.
Muzzin suffered the injury in a collision with Arizona Coyotes forward Clayton Keller in October. He left that game and was placed on injured reserve. With Muzzin's $5.625 million cap hit being moved to long-term injured reserve, the Maple Leafs can use that space to make additions to their roster ahead of March 3rd's trade deadline.
The Woodstock (Ontario) native has appeared in four games this season, putting up one assist, two penalty minutes and has an even-rating.
In other news, the Maple Leafs announced that defenceman T.J. Brodie has been place on injured reserve with an oblique injury and that they've called up forward Pontus Holmberg and defenceman Mac Hollowell from the Toronto Marlies.
The Maple Leafs will be back in action on Tuesday night when they face-off against the Penguins in Pittsburgh.
