Maple Leafs' Bobby McMann: Nearing return to ice

Per Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun, McMann (lower body) is getting closer to returning to practice, according to coach Sheldon Keefe.

McMann missed the last two games of the regular season and will miss his fourth straight playoff contest Saturday after being injured versus Detroit on April 13. McMann was a pleasant surprise during the 2023-24 campaign, racking up 15 goals, nine assists and 117 hits in 56 appearances. He remains a possibility to return to action in the latter part of the opening round versus the Bruins.
