Rumors have begun swirling and fans are obviously in a panic. The game against the Capitals was a hard hitting affair, the Leafs threw 42 hits, lead by
Timothy Liljegren's 5. They took 39 hits from Caps players. Jake Muzzin had a heavy collision with
Tom Wilson along the boards and was seen holding his hip at points throughout the game. Liljegren had a collision with Mark Giordano that looked painful. Giordano was hit on the chin by
Garnet Hathaway's helmet on an awkward play that knocked Gio's helmet loose. Any one of these incidents could be the cause of the mystery injury that's facilitated this call-up.
