May 21 (UPI) -- The Toronto Maple Leafs will be without captain John Tavares indefinitely through the playoffs because of a head injury the center sustained in Game 1 of a series against the Montreal Canadiens, the team said Friday.
Tavares went down with the injury in the first period of the Maple Leafs' 2-1 loss Thursday at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. The Maple Leafs said Tavares was discharged Friday morning from nearby St. Michael's Hospital.
