Maple Leafs' Jack Roslovic A Surprise Scratch For Game Against Devils

The Toronto Maple Leafs have scratched right winger Jack Roslovic for their game against the New Jersey Devils on Sunday. The team says he's out with a lower-body injury.

Roslovic took warmups with the Maple Leafs, and took line rushes on the top line with Auston Matthews and Easton Cowan.

Instead, Vinni Lettieri draws into the lineup. Lettieri was taken out of the lineup in Saturday's game against the Montreal Canadiens to make way for John Tavares' return after recovering from his lower-body injury.

Initially, Lettieri was sent down to the AHL's Toronto Marlies, but was called back up the same day.

Roslovic got banged up multiple times against the Canadiens, and even left the ice a couple of times because of it.

There were also signs of some sort of issue after Toronto's game against the Utah Mammoth on Tuesday. Roslovic wasn't made available for a post-game media availability because he was getting some treatment.

Colton Sissons started the game on the right wing next to Matthews and Cowan, while Lettieri was with Nick Paul and Dakota Joshua.

Roslovic has been great for the Maple Leafs before this injury. He's scored eight goals and 18 points in 18 games played, putting him third on the team in scoring.
