Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Chris Tanev is placed on injured reserve after leaving the team’s win over the Colorado Avalanche with an upper-body injury. The Athletic reports he exits after only five shifts, and the team does not provide a specific timeline for his return.
With Tanev sidelined, the Leafs adjust their roster by recalling defenseman Marshall Rifai. Vancouver Sun and NDTV both note the injury setback occurred during the same Saturday game in Colorado. NDTV also says the move rules Tanev out for at least three games, while the broader reporting emphasizes that the exact recovery schedule remains uncertain.
