Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Jake Muzzin has not been ruled out for Game 7 of the team’s first-round series against the Montreal Canadiens and is undergoing further tests on his lower-body injury, coach Sheldon Keefe told reporters Sunday.
The veteran rearguard was hurt on a non-contact play in the second period of the Leafs’ 3-2 overtime loss to the Canadiens in Saturday’s Game 6. While skating through the neutral zone, Muzzin stopped mid-stride, appearing to be in discomfort. He skated to the bench, headed to the dressing room and did not return.
Muzzin had four goals and 23 assists in 53 regular-season games this year.
The Leafs and Canadiens face off in Game 7 on Monday at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT on Sportsnet
