TORONTO – The Maple Leafs have placed Max Domi on injured reserve with a lower-body injury, making him the fifth Toronto forward sidelined with an injury.
The move is retroactive to Saturday, when Toronto posted a 4-3 overtime win over visiting Edmonton. Domi logged 14 minutes 42 seconds of ice time in that game.
With Domi out, the Maple Leafs headed into a game Wednesday night against visiting Vegas down six forwards.
