Maple Leafs News & Rumors: Timmins, Klingberg & Gregor
September 29, 2023 by The Old Prof
In this edition of Toronto Maple Leafs News & Rumors, I’ll take a look at Conor Timmins‘ impressive performance in the Maple Leafs’ first win on Wednesday night (Sept. 27) at the Kraft Hockeyville game in western Ontario.
Second, I’ll update an injury report to note that John Klingberg‘s exit from Wednesday’s game seems to be precautionary in nature.
Third, one player I’ve been impressed with in the preseason games I’ve watched is Noah Gregor.
Finally, I share news about why we haven’t seen Ilya Samsonov in the net quite yet. However, I have to wonder where TJ Brodie might be. There’s been no word I’ve seen about him having an injury.
