Report: Maple Leafs' Phil Kessel battling 'multiple injuries'
Charles LeClaire / USA TODAY Sports
If Phil Kessel doesn't look himself, well, he's not feeling much like it either.
The Toronto Maple Leafs superstar sniper is currently dealing with a variety of injuries, according to Sportsnet's Damien Cox.
"He's battling multiple injuries say those people in the know - probably his back, maybe his hand or a wrist," Cox reported Saturday night.
"It's enough of a problem that there's some discussion within the organization - do they need to give Phil Kessel a few days off or more days off - something that Randy Carlyle doesn't like to give anybody."
Kessel has scored in back-to-back games, but has only four points in his last seven.
