Overview

• Lorentz left midway through the first period after an open-ice hit from Red Wings defenceman Ben Chiarot and logged 1:17 of ice time.
• The team announced he would not return with an upper-body injury, and no recovery timeline has been provided.
• His departure prompted in-game fourth-line adjustments, including spot shifts for William Nylander.
• Toronto is already missing Scott Laughton, who is week-to-week with a lower-body injury from a preseason shot block against Detroit.
• Easton Cowan or Sammy Blais are expected to cover the vacated bottom-six minutes while the club assesses Lorentz’s condition.
