Watch onThe Maple Leafs defenceman will sit again on Saturday night, watching as his teammates play host to the Edmonton Oilers some 72 hours after the 33-year-old veteran was a healthy scratch versus the Washington Capitals.
Despite his inconsistencies, Brodie has averaged 21 minutes 51 seconds a game. Only Morgan Rielly has played more on average for Toronto in 2023-24. “I’d just like him to clear his head,” Keefe said. “That’s a big part of it. He has had a tough go right from the beginning of training camp all the way through.
“The most important thing is just to give him the time that he needs to get back to being himself. When he’s at his best, he’s as good a defender as we have and reliable and consistent.” Forward Tyler Bertuzzi missed practice because he was sick and though Keefe wouldn’t rule him out of the game against Edmonton, it has to be doubtful that he would play. Ryan Reaves, who did not play against the Caps, was back on the fourth line at practice.With a work ethic unmatched by most, the Oilers’ Zach Hyman earned the respect of every teammate he had with the Leafs.
“He was a big part of things here for a long time and it was tough to see him go . He has fit in really well there and playing great hockey. He’s not just having a great season, he has shown it for many seasons now.
