Calle Jarnkrok questionable for game one of the playoffs
The Toronto Maple Leafs' forward Calle Jarnkrok's availability for the first game of the playoffs is questionable, according to head coach Sheldon Keefe.
Following their morning skate on Monday, Keefe met with the media and shared details on Calle Jarnkrok's status ahead of tonight's game against the Florida Panthers, and for the first game of the playoffs.
Here's what he said:
"Sheldon Keefe on Calle Jarnkrok (hand) who joined practice for the penalty kill portion at the end and if he'd be ready for Game 1
"He's more in a day-to-day situation. Unfortunately, we're running out of schedule here, but we'll just have to see where he is. He's gonna be traveling with us."
With less than a week before the start of the playoffs, Keefe doesn't know yet if Jarnkrok will be able to get back on the lineup in time for game one.
He did, however, mentionned that the lines we'll see in the playoffs should look like what we've seen recently; possibly keeping the game-changer Bertuzzi-Matthews-Domi line and spreading the offensive firepower spreaded in the four lines.
Sheldon Keefe on his playoff lineup: "What you've seen of late is a sense of how we see it going forward"
Notes Calle Jarnkrok's health remains a wildcard
Calls the Bertuzzi-Matthews-Domi chemistry a real thing that gives our team a completely different look"
