Latest John Tavares injury update is huge for the Maple Leafs
The Toronto Maple Leafs have been missing an integral part to their lineup for way too long and they might finally get him back in the coming days.
John Tavares, despite having a somewhat middling start to his season, is really the glue that holds the Leafs' depth scoring together. While Auston Matthews and whoever he is playing with on the top line has been excelling at scoring a whole lot of goals, Tavares locks down the offensive minutes when Matthews is not on the ice.
That has been missing since Tavares got tangled up with Sabres forward Josh Norris on Oct. 15 and suffered a lower-body injury. But thankfully, we finally have some good news on that front.
