Maple Leafs’ Chris Tanev Stretchered Off in First Game Back From Concussion

The veteran defenseman underwent tests in Philadelphia with his status for the team flight undecided.

Overview

  • The third-period collision with Flyers forward Matvei Michkov drew a two-minute minor for interference.
  • On-ice staff used a stretcher, and Tanev signaled a thumbs-up as he left the ice.
  • Coach Craig Berube said Tanev was moving around as he underwent tests at a Philadelphia hospital.
  • Postgame plans remained unsettled regarding whether he would stay in Philadelphia or fly back with the team.
  • Toronto won 5-2 in a game that marked Tanev’s return from an Oct. 21 concussion after four missed games, and he recorded an assist on Jake McCabe’s goal.
