Maple Leafs winger returns to practice after missing two weekend scrimmages, Kristen Shilton writes.
only missed two days of Maple Leafs’ training camp after taking a shot off the leg in Friday’s practice, but in a two-week long camp, even that short absence can feel eternal.
The 28-year-old entered Leafs camp finally feeling fully recovered from a torn ACL suffered last April that cost him the first 19 games of the 2019-20 regular season. This turned out to be a far more minor issue, and following a full day off for the Leafs on Monday, Hyman was back for Tuesday’s practice on a line withinto Hyman’s place while he was out, but Hyman was only too happy to reclaim the post.
By Sunday, the Leafs should be quarantined at the Royal York Hotel ahead of facing Columbus in a qualifying-round series that opens Aug. 2 in Toronto. This camp has been the first real opportunity for Keefe, a rookie head coach promoted to behind the Leafs’ bench in mid-November, to implement his own structures without the pressure of a regular-season calendar. That, coupled with the accelerated timeline of the NHL’s return, has made each session at Leafs’ camp seemingly more intense than the last.“Every day is really important here, but I'm less concerned about somebody like Zach,” Keefe said.
