Rielly's Injury Woes Mirror Leafs' Season Slide
Morgan Rielly's lingering upper-body issue finally forced him out after aggravating it in Vancouver, sidelining the Leafs' top defenseman for their final games before the Olympic break. Coach Craig Berube admits any nagging problem affects a player's game, even if Rielly toughed it out amid Toronto's defensive struggles and his own minus-17 rating. As the team eyes a reset, whispers in front offices grow louder about what this unplanned absence means for a core piece who's lost a step this year.
