Ryan Reaves suffered a gruesome-looking injury last game against the Columbus Blue Jackets, colliding feet first with the boards. After leaving the game immediately, Sheldon Keefe stated after the game it was likely that Reaves would miss a significant amount of time.
Now, Elliotte Friedman has confirmed that things are looking up for Reaves, and the injury isn't as bad as previously expected.

This is massive news that has major implications for the Leafs and their lineup as well as the salary cap. However, it does appear that the curse of injured Leafs continues.
