Leafs injury news: Tanev, Joshua out indefinitely, Matthews, Nylander’s status vs. Jets to be determined

Tanev did not play in Tuesday’s game against the New Jersey Devils. The 36-year-old previously missed 23 games due to an upper-body injury suffered on November 1 against the Philadelphia Flyers.

It’s a tough loss for the Maple Leafs, who will also be without Brandon Carlo as he works his way back into shape after undergoing foot surgery on December 3. Carlo is skating with the team and seems to be making good progress.

Berube also provided some brief updates on Auston Matthews and William Nylander as the Maple Leafs prepare for Thursday’s game against the Winnipeg Jets. Matthews skated during the optional practice on Wednesday after being ruled out prior to warm-ups for Tuesday’s game due to a lower-body injury.

“He had a good day today. Let’s see how it feels tomorrow. He’ll probably get on the ice and then we’ll continue,” Berube said.

Berube said Nylander’s status will be determined Thursday based on how he performs during the morning skate. Nylander missed Tuesday’s game due to a lower-body injury.
