Status report
Muzzin didn't practice Tuesday. The defenseman remained in Toronto after being diagnosed with a concussion, likely from a hit he took in a 6-5 win at the St. Louis Blues on Saturday, coach Sheldon Keefe said. Biega will replace him in Toronto's lineup. … Ritchie returned to practice Wednesday after the forward missed the game at St. Louis while in NHL COVID-19 protocol. He won't play Wednesday. … Goodrow is expected to play after missing three games in COVID-19 protocol. He was cleared Tuesday. … Hunt was activated off injured reserve Tuesday and should return after missing four games with an upper-body injury. ... Lafreniere will return after missing two games because of COVID-19 protocol.
