The Toronto Maple Leafs went all in this season acquirng Ryan O'Reilly from the St Louis Blues just before the NHL trade deadline.
So it was very worrisome in Leafs Nation when Ryan O'Reilly suffered a broken finger off a shot from teammate Auston Matthews.
O'Reilly has been working hard to return to the lineup, so it was a good sign to see him in a regular practice jersey this morning.
O'Reilly will make his return Thursday night vs the Boston Bruins.
O'Reilly was asked today following practice why return vs the Bruins rather then a much easier team in the struggling Montreal Canadiens?
Ryan O'Reilly Talks About Return
"I think it's a good test and a good first game for myself, going in and going right into the fire."
From lines at the Leafs practice Ryan O'Reilly will center a line with Noel Acciari, and Alex Kerfoot. If the Leafs want to have a deep Playoff run they will likely have to defeat the NHL's best team in the 1st or 2nd round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
