Maple Leafs’ Chris Tanev was released from the hospital after leaving the Flyers game on a stretcher
After this, a stretcher was called to Tanev
Fortunately, Tanev gave the thumbs up as he was stretchered off the ice, and following the news that he had been released from hospital and cleared to return to Toronto, this seems like a somewhat best-case scenario for all parties given how things originally looked.
Tanev gives him a thumbs up and hopes he’s doing well
This doesn’t reveal anything about a possible return to action for Tanev, especially if it has something to do with the head, but the fact that he’s back home with the team hopefully means he won’t be out for too long. However, expect the team to exercise some caution with Tanev going forward, given his age and the number of minutes he logs with the Maple Leafs when fully healthy.
The Maple Leafs return to action Monday night when they host the Pittsburgh Penguins, looking to snap a winning streak after being denied a three-game losing streak with their loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday night. The Maple Leafs will likely provide an update on Tanev’s status prior to Monday’s game, but it seems like an extremely safe bet to assume Tanev won’t play.
