The Leafs expect their captain to return Saturday against the Oilers, while his teammate Ryan O’Reilly underwent surgery on Tuesday.
“We’ll give him that time, of course,” said Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe. “With the nature of the injury, I think we’ll see him back on his skates pretty quickly. And that’s a good sign. We’ll welcome him back when he’s good and ready.”Tavares took a couple of big his Saturday in Vancouver. The Leafs then took a red-eye flight right after the game, across the continent, to New Jersey. It was waking up Sunday morning when things didn’t feel right for the captain.
“No dizziness,” said Tavares. “I was pretty tired, just felt a little drained. We had the long flight. That evening just trying to get my bearings and just get acclimated again. So just not feeling what I would consider to be my normal. “But I had a great evening, a great sleep, woke up feeling really good. It could have been just a tough three in four , travelling across the country. So we’re just being on the cautious side of it.”
