Max Pacioretty, Max Domi, Bobby McMann, and Jake McCabe have all been dealing with injuries, and it has forced the Toronto Maple Leafs into some tough roster decisions.
However, it has become increasingly clear as of late that these players are beginning to get healthier and that their returns are imminent.
Last night, the Maple Leafs lost against the Washington Capitals by a score of 3-1, and it was as clear as day that this team could benefit from some extra firepower.
Having said that, the Maple Leafs are being filled with a bit of hope right now that will definitely make fans happy.
According to TSN Insider Bob McKenzie, the Maple Leafs are set to regain the services of all four of the aforementioned players this week.
In fact, Max Pacioretty could very well be playing tonight against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
You can find the return timeline for these players, below.
Only time will tell whether or not these players actually do return on this schedule.
However, if they do, then the Maple Leafs will be looking pretty full. The only issue will be what to do with guys like Fraser Minten and Nikita Grebenkin, who have been awesome since being called up.
