Maple Leafs forward Calle Jarnkrok appears to have suffered a significant setback that will keep him out of the lineup for an extended period.

Swedish forward, Calle Jarnkrok has had an interesting tenure with the Maple Leafs since signing a four-year deal worth $2.1M per season in 2022. The 33-year-old Jarnkrok is known for being the type of player who can play in any situation, which the Leafs value highly.

Unfortunately, Jarnkrok has struggled with injuries throughout his time in Toronto. He has yet to play in the regular season due to a sports hernia injury. It has now been revealed that he has encountered a setback in his recovery, and is being sent to see a specialist as a result.

Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving had this to say about Jarnkrok's injury, as reported by David Alter on X:

''Brad Treliving said Calle Jarnkrok had a setback in his recovery and is heading to New York to see a specialist.''


This setback is unfortunate for Jarnkrok, who was eager to make his season debut. However, it could ultimately benefit the Leafs in a surprising way, as his injury delays any potential decisions about trading roster players to free up cap space.
