The Maple Leafs held a practice session at Ford Performance Centre on Friday following Calle Jarnkrok’s hand injury from crashing into the boards in the previous game. Coach Sheldon Keefe confirmed that Jarnkrok’s injury is week-to-week, with the player seen wearing a cast at practice. Jarnkrok joins Mitch Marner on the sidelines due to Marner’s high ankle sprain. Despite the absence of both players, the team aims to maintain their performance and adapt to the situation until their return. The practice lineup changes reflected Jarnkrok’s and Marner’s absences, with young player Pontus Holmberg stepping up impressively in a top-line role alongside Auston Matthews. Holmberg’s contributions in the game showed promise for the team in adapting to the injuries and finding success.
