Maple Leafs Provide New Injury Update On Center Colton Sissons

The Toronto Maple Leafs have lost a few players as of late due to injury, including center Colton Sissons, who is the latest member of the team to become unavailable.

Starting Sunday's game against the New Jersey Devils, Sissons was unable to finish the contest as he picked up a lower-body injury and didn't return to action after playing 9:55 of that outing.

Ahead of the Leafs' next game against the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday, the team provided updates on several players, including the recently fallen Sissons. The status of the 33-year-old has been labelled as week-to-week with that lower-body injury.

Up to this point, Sissons has featured in all 19 games for the Maple Leafs, scoring two goals and six points while averaging 14:37 of ice time.

For the majority of this season, Sissons has been the team's third-line center. In the game in which he got injured, he was pencilled in for different areas of the lineup. That includes some time as the right winger on the top line with Auston Matthews and Easton Cowan. Later, he would see shifts with Teddy Blueger and Brandon Duhaime.

This is Sissons' first season in Toronto, joining the team in the off-season on a two-year contract worth $4 million per season.
