The Maple Leafs are facing additional injury concerns with three NHL regulars, including the frequently sidelined Calle Jarnkrok, just days before the season opener. As they prepare for their October 9th matchup against the Montreal Canadiens, the team is finalizing roster cuts, but the availability of Jarnkrok, Jake McCabe, and Nick Robertson remains uncertain.

Jarnkrok, who has battled injuries throughout his career, was poised for increased ice time on a thin wing. McCabe, rumored to be negotiating a contract extension, may spark concern if his injuries linger, though his absence could provide an opportunity for players like Timothy Liljegren, Conor Timmins, or Marshall Rifai.

Robertson’s injury is particularly worrisome given his standout pre-season, where he netted five goals in four games, making him a strong candidate for the lineup. However, his history of injuries raises questions about how long he might be out if his condition worsens.

Fortunately, according to Terry Koshan on X, none of these injuries seem severe, with the trio listed as “day-to-day.” Despite this, the Leafs are hoping for their full return ahead of the season start as they aim for deeper playoff success this year.
