The Toronto Maple Leafs received a much-needed boost with a positive injury update on defenseman Chris Tanev, according to reports on Saturday.
The update comes as a relief for the NHL club, which has been managing its defensive corps through the early part of the season. Tanev, a veteran blueliner known for his shot-blocking and penalty-killing abilities, is a key component of Toronto's blue line.
Further details on Tanev's status and expected timeline for return were not immediately available.
