Toronto Maple Leafs captain John Tavares has been sidelined with a lower-body injury following an incident during Wednesday’s practice. The injury occurred during a power-play drill, forcing Tavares to leave the ice early.

Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving pointed out that "it's not fantasy hockey," and he's right. But it's incumbent upon him to get in front of the market if he's looking for another pivot.
