Dave McCarthy of NHL.com: Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Matt Murray is listed as day-to-day with a head injury and some other stuff.

“Right now it’s going to be a day-to-day thing in terms of sorting through exactly where he’s at and what the time frame might be,” Toronto coach Sheldon Keefe said Tuesday. “It will be difficult to put any real timeline on it until we give him more time to settle.

“He’s got a head injury, so we will have to see where that is. He’s got some other stuff as well, but it will have to be a take it a day at a time in terms of seeing really where he’s at.”
