Jake Muzzin News

Muzzin was only able to play in four games in 2022-23 with the Maple Leafs and picked up an assist and eight SOG across that span before missing the majority of the season due to a Cervical Spine injury. He is expected to spend the entire 2023-24 season on the long-term injured reserve for the final year of his contract. The 34-year-old defensemen is currently sitting on 69 goals, 294 points, and 399 PIMs across 683 career games played.

Muzzin hasn't played since October 17th and has now been ruled out for the remainder of the 2022-23 season due to a cervical spine injury. The 34-year-old was only able to play in four games this season, picking up an assist and two PIMs to go along with eight SOG.

Muzzin was hurt on October 17th and will be sidelined until late February. If Muzzin misses the rest of the regular season, the Maple Leafs can use his $5.625M cap hit to make additions.

Muzzin is out indefinitely with a neck injury that he suffered on October 17th. The move to LTIR gives the Maple Leafs $5.625M in salary relief, which would be enough to activate Matt Murray from LTIR when he's healthy.

Muzzin will head to the injured reserve after injuring his neck in the Maple Leafs' 4-2 loss to Arizona Monday. It is the third time in four seasons since joining Toronto that Muzzin has missed significant time due to injury. He had one assist with eight SOG through four games before the injury announcement.

Muzzin missed the last six games but will play Tuesday vs. the Red Wings. Muzzin, who has been limited to just 45 games this season, will replace Justin Holl and skate with T.J. Brodie.

Muzzin had something "flare-up" and it will keep him out of the back-to-back over the weekend. Justin Holl will draw back into the lineup in Ottawa.

Muzzin will be back in the Maple Leafs lineup for the first time since February 21st. Ilya Lyubushkin will be a healthy scratch to make room and Muzzin will skate with Justin Holl.

Muzzin is listed as a game-time decision for Tuesday's game in Florida and being activated clears the way for him to play. It's unclear who he will replace on the blueline but it will likely be Justin Holl or Timothy Liljegren.

Muzzin has been sidelined since February 21st and will not play Monday but will likely return to the lineup on Tuesday. Muzzin will likely replace Timothy Liljegren or Justin Holll against the Panthers.

Muzzin will miss a minimum of 10 games / 24 days after being placed on LTIR with a concussion he suffered on Monday. Ilya Lyubushkin replaced Muzzin in the lineup on Tuesday.

Muzzin left Monday's game vs. the Canadiens after landing awkwardly on his head/neck following a collision. Muzzin remained in Montreal as the team left for Columbus, so look for either Rasmus Sandin to re-enter the lineup or for Ilya Lyubushkin to make his Maple Leafs debut vs. the Blue Jackets.

Muzzin has missed the last seven games with a concussion but will dress Thursday in Calgary. Muzzin will be the seventh defenseman with Wayne Simmonds out due to personal reasons. Muzzin has one goal and 10 assists (11 points) in 35 games this season.

Muzzin was a full participant for the second straight day but will remain sidelined for Monday's game vs. the Hurricanes. Monitor his status prior to Thursday's game in Calgary.

Muzzin was a full participant in Sunday's practice, which is a good sign that he's nearing a return but head coach Sheldon Keefe says it's unlikely that he will play Monday. Expect him to travel out west with the team and play either Thursday in Calgary or Saturday in Vancouver.

Muzzin didn't feel right after practice on Monday and was diagnosed with a concussion that he suffered vs. the Blues on Saturday. Muzzin did not travel with the team and will miss at least one week. Expect Alex Biega to replace him on Wednesday.

The Maple Leafs will rest a couple of players on Thursday, Jake Muzzin being one of them. Timothy Liljegren will draw in to make his season debut.
