Toronto Maple Leafs: Mitch Marner Injured, Placed on LTIR
Dirty Hit by Rasmus Dahlin Causes Controversy
Leafs Announce Roster Move to Comply with Salary Cap
March 31, 2024 - The Toronto Maple Leafs have officially placed star forward Mitch Marner on long-term injured reserve (LTIR) following a dirty hit from behind by Rasmus Dahlin of the Buffalo Sabres.
The incident occurred during the final minute of the Maple Leafs' 3-2 loss to the Sabres on Friday night. Dahlin delivered a high hit to Marner's head, sending him crashing into the boards. Marner immediately left the game and did not return.
After further evaluation, the Maple Leafs announced that Marner has suffered a concussion. He will be out indefinitely and is expected to miss multiple weeks of action.
The injury to Marner is a major blow to the Maple Leafs, who are battling for a playoff spot. Marner is one of the team's leading scorers and has been a key contributor to their success this season.
In order to comply with the NHL's salary cap, the Maple Leafs have made a corresponding roster move. They have recalled forward Calle Jarnkrok from the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League.
The Maple Leafs are hopeful that Marner will be able to return to action soon. However, his injury is a reminder of the physical toll that players face on a nightly basis in the NHL.
