Petr Mrazek, Ilya Lyubushkin, Justin Holl All Exit Tonight’s Game For Toronto Maple Leafs

March 29, 2022 at 8:11 pm CDT | by John Gilroy 17 Comments

The Toronto Maple Leafs confirmed that goaltender Petr Mrazek exited tonight’s game with a groin injury and would not return. Toronto also confirmed that defensemen Ilya Lyubushkin and Justin Holl would also not return tonight for precautionary reasons. For now, Toronto will have to finish its game tonight against the Boston Bruins with only one goaltender and just four defensemen.

It has been a tough stretch for the Maple Leafs in net, as well as a tough stretch for Mrazek himself, and this injury certainly does not help either. It was early in the first period against the Boston Bruins that Mrazek appeared to come up limp. In pain, Mrazek tried to stretch, but was eventually pulled and replaced by rookie Erik Kallgren in net. While the Maple Leafs do expect Jack Campbell to return soon, an exact return date is unknown, and leaves Toronto without a true backup, certainly for tonight.

For Mrazek, a tough season gets tougher. After missing stretches early in the season with a groin issue, he appeared to be fully healthy and performing well before struggling greatly the past couple of months, eventually leading to being put on waivers on March 20th. After Mrazek cleared, he was re-called, he appeared to be refresh and back to his old ways, stopping 54 of 58 opportunities in two starts since returning, winning both.

    All right, who among us here thought this was a bad signing from the get-go?
    “All of us!”
    Well, that answers that! When it happened, I asked out loud “Who’s the EBUG for them tonight?” A few minutes later Bonesy and Ralphie brought up David Ayres…I didn’t think my voice carried that far, though…

    Duke/UNC on one screen, Freddy Anderson on the other. To quote Letterkenny, Mrazek is spare parts.

    Scheduling an exhibition with the Johnstown Chiefs at this point in the season was an odd choice by the Leafs.

    Keeping the Italian lineage going is the only possible outcome:

    Mark Giordano > Nick Abruzzese > …Keith Petruzzelli?

    Lyabushkin with a cheap shot and then total flop, this is the garbage that needs to be driven out of the game.

      It was still very Bertuzzi-esque. The garbage needing out of the game is sucker punching a guy from behind.

      it’s not a cheap ahot to punch a guy unsuspecting it though from behind? but I guess when the bruins lose to a depleted leafs team with their 3rd goalie, makes sense to be frustrated.

      The player left and didn’t return because of a head injury. That’s not a “flop” lol.

      A cheap shot is a hit you receive when you aren’t expecting it. After his own cheap shot on Hall he knew damn well he was coming right after him. You should actually watch the video to see that the flop was ridiculous.

      Hall pivoted and fell funny. Doesn’t make that a cheap shot. Lyu wasn’t even going to hit him into the boards when he first lined up.
      That being said, Hall’s punch didn’t look that bad at first glance. Maybe Lyu has a glass jaw, but if he didn’t return to the game it definitely wasn’t a dive.
