Bolland had been making great strides in his return from a severed achilles, but leaving the ice early yesterday and returning as an extra today suggests that he may have suffered a setback.

Bolland has missed the last 35 games and will likely miss several more. The Leafs centre still doesn’t know when he’ll return to practice, let alone game action. “Who knows?” Bolland said Saturday after skating solo for the fourth time this week. Toronto is 14-15-5 since Bolland went out, but coach Randy Carlyle affirmed that the 27-year-old won’t be back until he’s 100 per cent. Bolland, who had six goals and four assists in his first 15 games with the Leafs, wants to go. But he understands the need for caution. “You want to be out there,” he said. “You think some days you can push it and you push it too much and you set yourself behind. You’re just hurting yourself. I think for myself it’s being patient and being ready when I’m ready.”

Expect a full update from the Maple Leafs tomorrow, for now Bolland is out indefinitely.

Bolland was injured in a collision with Canucks forward Zack Kassian two minutes into the second period. He could not put any weight on his leg as he left the ice. It was a scary looking incident a-la Matt Cooke on Erik Karlsson last season. This would be a huge blow to the Maple Leafs lineup if he misses and extended period of time. Bolland had six goals and four assists in 14 games.
