Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Mark Giordano has been listed as week to week with a broken finger, the team said Thursday.
Giordano suffered the injury Tuesday against the Florida Panthers.
The 40-year-old Giordano has been a top-four defenceman for the Leafs this season, notching one goal and four assists in 20 games. He is averaging 17:52 of ice time per game.
The three-time all-star was still being evaluated Wednesday, with the team at that point saying he'd miss at least Thursday's game against the Seattle Kraken.
The Leafs already are thin on defence with Timothy Liljegren (ankle) and John Klingberg (hip) both out.
Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe said Liljegren skated Wednesday for the first time since suffering the injury, but that he's "not close" to a return.
Klingberg also is out long-term.
