Joffrey Lupul News

Lupul is day-to-day with a bruised foot.

Lupul took a Paul Ranger shot off of the foot at practice today. X-rays came back negative and he will travel with the team to Columbus. If Lupul can't play tomorrow, Josh Leivo will be inserted into the lineup.

Lupul left practice this morning after taking a shot to the foot.

Lupul will have x-rays done on his foot this afternoon and an update will likely be released later today. Hopefully for the Maple Leafs the injury is nothing serious, because Lupul has had a great start to the season (6G / 4 A in 10 games). Lupul has had a really tough time staying healthy in his career, so this is nothing new.

Lupul back with Kessel and Bozak today.

The Maple Leafs were dominated in Game 1 so they are going to shake their lines up for Game 2. Kessel and Lupul were great together last season so maybe they will be able to find some of their old magic.

Lupul (upper body) does not have a concussion but is dealing with a sore neck. He is on the ice this morning for the Maple Leafs optional skate. We will have to wait and see if he will be in the lineup tonight.

Lupul departs practice after about 10 minutes.

Lupul was on this ice for the Maple Leafs optional skate this morning, but left after just 10 minutes. There is still no word on what he is dealing with, but the fact that he was on the ice is a positive sign. However leaving so early suggests he is not quite right.

Carlyle says Lupul is day to day. Won't use the word concussion because they don't know what it is yet. Not sure if he will go on the trip.

Lupul won't play tomorrow but monitor his status tomorrow as the Leafs are likely to have a better idea on what he is dealing with.

Joffrey Lupul is not practicing today. Will await further update from Randy Carlyle following practice.

Lupul took an ugly blow to the head from two Flyers last night. He looked a little groggy when he was trying to get off of the ice. The immediate concern is always a concussion, but Carlyle didn't make it sound like the injury was too serious. An update will likely be available later this afternoon.
