Toronto Maple Leafs Wishlist Item #2: A Healthy Team

This season has not been kind to the Toronto Maple Leafs in the injury department.

The Leafs have 124-man games missed due to injuries this season (as of December 15th). Most are from Jake Muzzin (27 – Retired) and Matt Murray (27), who will not play at all this season. Of those 124-man games, 89 are from defensemen.

The Leafs are lucky to have the 16-6-6 record they have with so many injuries, but have been lucky that outside the injuries to Joseph Woll and Timothy Liljegren, most of their important players have remained healthy.

With 38 points, the Leafs are second in the Atlantic Division and seventh in the NHL. If they keep playing as well as they did on Saturday, they’ll climb the standings for sure.

Hopefully, the Leafs can continue to get some healthy players back soon.

It is nearly impossible to play an entire NHL season without going through some injury trouble. Let’s hope the majority of the Leafs injuries are now behind them. I’m sure Leafs GM Treliving would love to come out of the Christmas break with a much healthier lineup.

The number one concern right now is when the Leafs will get Joseph Woll back from injury. Martin Jones proved on Saturday that he can hold his own, but I’m sure  the Leafs would love to have all three goaltenders healthy to start 2024.
