Bobby McMann Considered Day-To-Day Following Wednesday's Exit
Toronto Maple Leafs left wing Bobby McMann (lower body) is considered day-to-day. McCann suffered a lower-body injury in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to Florida, exiting after logging 10:21 of ice time. The team plans to evaluate McCann further on Thursday to determine the full severity of his injury. McMann has worked as a first-line winger lately for an injury-hit Toronto squad. Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube hopes to get some players back for Saturday's game against Florida, which might result in a demotion in the lineup for McMann if he doesn't have to miss additional time. The 28-year-old has recorded six goals and seven points in 21 outings this campaign.
Toronto Maple Leafs winger Bobby McMann is processing well with his lower-body injury and the team hopes to see him back on the ice soon, according to head coach Sheldon Keefe. McMann hasn't appeared in a game since April 13 when he left a contest against the Detroit Red Wings early after getting hurt while clearing the puck shorthanded. Following a sluggish start, McMann enjoyed a nice season half to his season, tallying 13 goals over his final 33 games after recording just two goals through his first 23 contests. All told, the 27-year-old recorded 15 goals and 24 points across 56 games as part of his 11:34 of average ice time per game.
Toronto Maple Leafs forward Bobby McMann (lower body) is a possibility for Game 1 of the postseason on Saturday against the Boston Bruins despite not taking part in practice on Friday, according to head coach Sheldon Keefe. He suffered a lower-body injury in an awkward fall while clearing the puck short-handed during a 5-4 overtime loss to the Detroit Red Wings on April 13 and did not return to the game. He sat out the team's final two regular-season contests. McMann broke out in the second half of the season, notching 13 goals across his final 33 games after registering just two goals in his first 23 games of the campaign.
Bobby McMann To Miss Final Two Regular Season Games
Toronto Maple Leafs forward Bobby McMann will not play in the club's final two regular-season games due to a lower-body injury suffered during Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Detroit Red Wings. McMann fell awkwardly while clearing the puck short-handed and was slow to get up and get to the bench. He then went to the dressing room and did not return. His status for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup playoffs is unclear. The 27-year-old has become a key piece for the team this season, notching 15 goals and 24 points across 56 games in 11:34 of average ice time per game. However, he also has 13 goals and 17 points across 33 games since the start of February and has recently been skating on the team's second line.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed forward Bobby McMann to a two-year, $2.7 million contract extension. The late-blooming 27-year-old has been a valuable bottom-six winger for the team of late, netting 10 goals in 40 games on the season, including eight goals over his last 14 contests despite skating on the third line. McMann has recorded 18 points in his 40 games with the Maple Leafs this season and has averaged just 10:34 of ice time in that time, although he has been far exceeding that total of late. He led the AHL's Toronto Marlies with 21 goals in just 30 games last season and posted two goals and three points in the AHL this season.
Toronto Maple Leafs forward Bobby McMann recorded his first career hat trick in Tuesday's 4-1 victory against the Blues. McMann stepped up for a career-night on the offensive end as a result of forwards Mitchell Marner (illness), John Tavares (illness), and defenseman Morgan Rielly (suspension) all being sidelined for the contest. McMann entered the game with two goals in 36 career games, while the 27-year-old brought his overall numbers to five goals and 10 points through 27 games throughout the 2023-24 NHL season.
Toronto Maple Leafs forward Bobby McMann is headed to Injured Reserve with what head coach Sheldon Keefe described as a "lingering injury." The 27-year-old has appeared in 23 games with the Leafs this season in fourth-line duty and has recorded two goals and seven points in 23 games in 9:22 of average ice time. He debuted with one assist across 10 games with the Maple Leafs last season. However, McMann has fared much better in the minors, where he recorded 21 goals and 29 points in 30 games last season, and he has two goals and three points in six games with the AHL's Toronto Marlies this season before his promotion. The hope is McMann will be ready following the upcoming All-Star break and bye week.
