The Maple Leafs Confirm Their Key Defenceman Will Be Sidelined

As per Luke Fox, the Leafs will be facing the Vegas Golden Knights tonight without one of their key defensemen.

Fox reported that Timothy Liljegren will be sidelined for tonight's game.

Here's what he posted:

After yesterday's practice, head coach Sheldon Keefe confirmed that if Liljegren isn't able to play on Tuesday night against Vegas, veteran Mark Giordano will step in.

Last Thursday, the Leafs dominated the Golden Knights with a 7-3 victory. Tonight, they'll aim to replicate that success as Vegas seeks to break their three-game losing streak.
