The Toronto Maple Leafs got a welcome boost at practice today as Chris Tanev stepped back onto the ice for the first time since suffering his latest injury. He was in a non-contact jersey, but even that was enough to give the team and fans something positive to build on. This was the first time Leaf fans have seen the Toronto native on the ice since November 1st against the Flyers.
