Lupul left the Maple Leafs dressing room on crutches. He will head to Toronto to take an MRI, rather than travel with the club to Minnesota.

The 31-year-old has an extensive injury history. He missed time earlier this season with a broken hand and dealt with both foot and groin injuries in 2013-14.

The veteran forward has not played more than 75 games in a season since 2008-09.

Entering Wednesday, Lupul has nine goals and eight assists in 25 games.
