Toronto Maple Leafs Share Exciting Updates Regarding Tavares, Jarnkrok, McMann

The Maple Leafs have been plagued by injuries during training camp, with key top-9 players like Tavares, Jarnkrok, and McMann all sidelined. Not only that, but Fraser Minten also remains sidelined with a high-ankle sprain.

On the positive side, these injuries have allowed rookies like Easton Cowan and Nikita Grebenkin get extended looks as they join the final camp group.

According to Dave McCarthy on X, there are updates regarding Tavares, Jarnkrok and McMann.

McMann will have the opportunity to play in the final preseason games, which is crucial for the speedy winger, as his role will be increasingly important following an impressive first year with the team, where he scored 15 goals and totaled 24 points in 56 games.

Regarding Tavares and Jarnkrok, their injuries appear less serious than initially feared. Coach Craig Berube provided this update, as reported by David Alter on X:

With McMann, Tavares, and Jarnkrok all expected to rejoin the forward corps this week, competition for spots in the lineup will intensify for the remaining hopefuls. The Maple Leafs organization has several decisions to make, particularly with PTO players Max Pacioretty and Steven Lorentz still unsigned.
