The struggling Toronto Maple Leafs<\/a> were dealt more injury problems during Sunday\u2019s 4-0 loss to the New Jersey Devils<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Forward Jack Roslovic<\/a> was a late scratch and is considered day-to-day with a lower-body injury while forward Colton Sissons<\/a> left the game after two periods with a lower-body injury. <\/p>\n

Head coach Jim Hiller provided an update on Roslovic following the game, saying the winger wanted to play initially. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe wanted to play. He said, \u2018You know what, I\u2019ll be alright. I think I can do it.\u2019 And then he was just unable,\u201d said Hiller. \u201cIt was a hard one to gauge.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old Roslovic has played well in his first year with the Maple Leafs, scoring eight goals and 10 assists over 18 games as a linemate of captain and fellow American Auston Matthews<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Sissons, 33, has two goals and four assists over 18 games.<\/p>\n

Both Roslovic ($4 million AAV) and Sissons ($4.25 million AAV) are playing on two year contracts. <\/p>\n

Veteran defencemen Morgan Rielly<\/a> and Chris Tanev<\/a> both missed the game as well. <\/p>\n

Rielly suffered a lower-body injury during Saturday\u2019s loss to the Montreal Canadiens<\/a> while Chris Tanev<\/a> was absent due to a planned maintenance day. <\/p>\n

Winger Kirill Marchenko<\/a> hasn\u2019t played since Oct. 26 when he suffered a lower-body injury against the Calgary Flames<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re banged up. Guys gotta look in the mirror and ask a little bit more of themselves and take on a little bit more,\u201d said Matthews. \u201cWhat we do with this, you know, I hope it\u2019s something that can kind of propel us forward and bring us a little bit closer together.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Maple Leafs have dropped five of their last six games and are now 8-9-2 on the season, sitting second last in the Atlantic Division with 18 points in 19 games. <\/p>\n

They\u2019ve dropped the opening three games of their six-game road trip in regulation with contests against the Colorado Avalanche<\/a> (Tuesday), Minnesota Wild<\/a> (Thursday) and Edmonton Oilers<\/a> (Saturday) remaining.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The struggling Toronto Maple Leafs were dealt more injury problems during Sunday\u2019s 4-0 loss to the New Jersey…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":964133,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[712,49,48,274628,100330,82,74650],"class_list":["post-964132","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-apple-news","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-colton-sissons-sports-hockey-player-player-nhl-api-8476925","tag-jack-roslovic-sports-hockey-player-player-nhl-api-8478458","tag-sports","tag-toronto-maple-leafs-sports-hockey-team-team-nhl-api-10"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/964132","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=964132"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/964132\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/964133"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=964132"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=964132"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=964132"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
