Toronto Maple Leafs
Forward Sammy Blais was back on the ice Wednesday morning at the Maple Leafs’ skate after being forced out of Tuesday’s 3-2 overtime win against the St. Louis Blues.
Head coach Craig Berube told reporters Blais left the game after taking some body contact and coughing up blood. However, he was seen chatting with some old Blues teammates in the hallway after the game.
“We did some scans and I’m all good. It was a scary situation,” Blais said Wednesday.
The 29-year-old had an assist in 6:31 of ice time Tuesday, also tallying four hits.
He has one goal and three poi
