Maple Leafs get even more bad news after Morgan Rielly's suspension

The anticipated announcement has been made official this evening. The Toronto Maple Leafs will be without veteran defenseman Morgan Rielly for the next five games, corresponding to the length of his suspension due to his actions on Saturday night.

But the bad news doesn't stop there. Not only will they be without Rielly tonight, but they'll also be without the services of captain John Tavares along with Mitch Marner, both of whom will not play thanks to an illness.
