The Toronto Maple Leafs began the year short-handed, with Zach Hyman and Travis Dermott both missing the first month of the year because of off- season surgeries.
Shortly after that, John Tavares broke a finger and missed several games. Alex Kerfoot had a concussion.
Mitch Marner missed almost a month after injuring his ankle in an early November game against the Flyers.
Andreas Johnsson got hurt (the first time) and missed most of December.
Jake Muzzin missed most of January with his first injury, then Frederick Andersen hurt his neck, the flu ripped through the Toronto Maple Leafs dressing room for a couple weeks, and Cody Ceci went down.
