Leafs goaltending update: Mrazek sighting at Scotiabank Arena
The Maple Leafs are inching their way ever closer to full health, which could not come at a better time with the playoffs close enough to smell. On Tuesday, goaltender Petr Mrazek was back on the ice for the first time since suffering a groin injury back in March.
Mrazek was spotted out on the ice at Scotiabank Arena with a trio of assistant coaches on Tuesday morning ahead of the Leafs' morning skate, facing shots and testing out the groin, which has caused him fits this season.
The Leafs have been in good hands in Mrazek's absence with Jack Campbell appearing to have returned to form and rookie Erik Kallgren has held his own against some tough competition - most recently, the Washington Capitals on Sunday, though he did have a rough time with the Bolts in his last outing, surrendering 8 goals on April 21st.
The Buds have the luxury of not needing to rush Mrazek back, so it's probably fair to suggest that they'll take their time to make sure that the Czech netminder is at 100% before we see him return to action - so long as Campbell and Kallgren can remain healthy.
