The Toronto Maple Leafs lose another defenseman as Oliver Ekman-Larsson exited in the first period against the Detroit Red Wings.<\/p>\n

Ekman-Larsson left in the first period Wednesday in Toronto’s game against the Detroit Red Wings, exiting after falling awkwardly following a puck battle with Detroit forward Lucas Raymond.<\/p>\n

After not returning to the ice, the Leafs announced shorty after the second period that Ekman-Larsson would not return to the game with a lower-body injury.<\/p>\n

Ekman-Larsson has eight goals, 23 points, & 31 points in 49 games this season for Toronto, leading all Leafs defensemen in points.<\/p>\n

Toronto’s blueline is already without Chris Tanev and Dakota Mermis, with William Nylander, Dakota Joshua, & Anthony Stolarz all injured and out of the Leafs lineup.<\/p>\n

Additional information from Leafs head coach Craig Berube should be likely to come at the conclusion of tonight’s game, with word on Ekman-Larsson’s status more clear by tomorrow.<\/p>\n

This is a developing story, more details to follow<\/p>\n
