Maple Leafs' Jarnkrok week-to-week with hand injury
Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe announced Friday that forward Calle Jarnkrok is week-to-week with a hand injury, according to the Toronto Sun's Lance Hornby.
Jarnkrok sustained the injury after crashing hard into the boards during the second period of Thursday's 6-2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers.

The 32-year-old Swede was skating on Toronto's first line in Mitch Marner's absence Thursday. Jarnkrok has tallied 10 goals and 11 assists in 52 games this season. He potted a career-high 20 goals a year ago.
This marks Jarnkrok's second stint on the sidelines with a hand injury this campaign. He missed 13 games this winter and only returned to the lineup for six matchups before suffering another ailment.
Jarnkrok has two more years remaining on his deal with a cap hit of $2.1 million.
