After leaving Game 2 on a stretcher before being transported to the hospital, Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Jake Muzzin is back at the team’s hotel.
Jake Muzzin was stretchered off the ice, with 1:52 left in the game, in what was a scary scene late in Tuesday’s 3-0 win by the Leafs over the Columbus Blue Jackets.
