Leafs' Muzzin out week-to-week with broken foot

The injuries continue to pile up for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Defenseman Jake Muzzin has been listed as week-to-week with a broken foot, the team announced Saturday.

Muzzin has been an essential piece on the blue line for the Maple Leafs this season. The veteran rearguard logs the second-most minutes per game on the team, averaging 21:21 of ice time while leading the club in both hits (87) and blocks (69).

Toronto owns a share of 54.06% of five-on-five scoring chances with Muzzin on the ice, which is the best mark among Leafs defensemen. The 30-year-old is an important penalty killer too, averaging 2:24 of shorthanded ice time per contest.

The Leafs also lost forward Ilya Mikheyev on Friday, who will be out for several months after suffering a wrist laceration against the New Jersey Devils. Forwards Trevor Moore and Andreas Johnson also remain sidelined for the blue and white.
