Leafs forward James van Riemsdyk to miss 6-8 weeks due to foot fracture
TORONTO – Toronto Maple Leafs forward James van Riemsdyk is expected to miss six to eight weeks due to a non-displaced fracture in his left foot.
The 26-year-old left-winger has 29 points (14 goals, 15 assists) in 40 games this season.
Van Riemsdyk was a minus-three and played just under 16 minutes in Toronto’s last game, a 7-0 loss at San Jose on Saturday night.
The Maple Leafs also announced Monday that forward Josh Leivo has been recalled from the Toronto Marlies. He has 30 points (11-19) in 35 games for the American Hockey League club this season. Goaltenders Garret Sparks and Antoine Bibeau and forward Mark Arcobello have been returned to the Marlies.
The Maple Leafs return to the ice Wednesday night against the visiting Columbus Blue Jackets.
