Head coach Craig Berube told reporters at Friday's practice that Oliver Ekman-Larsson will miss Toronto's game against the Montreal Canadiens and that his status is day-to-day. Ekman-Larsson, 33, has played in all but one game for the Maple Leafs this season, recording 29 points (four goals and 25 assists) across 77 appearances.

Since the Toronto Maple Leafs’ disastrous result against the Montreal Canadiens in the 2021 playoffs, the Maple Leafs and their fans haven’t had to think about the Canadiens being competitive or as a contender.

Mitch Marner scored 36 seconds into overtime and the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the visiting Montreal Canadiens 1-0 on Saturday night.
