The Toronto Maple Leafs have made a significant roster change this Saturday morning placing star forward Mitch Marner on long-term injured reserved (LTIR).
Under LTIR designation, a player must sit out a minimum of 24 days or 10 games due to injury. In Marner's case, he's nearly reached that threshold. Unless the team planned to use him in tonight's game against Buffalo, this move won't affect his eligibility to return to the lineup in the future.
