Reaves' right eye appeared swollen shut, indicating a potential injury from the altercation. While the eye poke seems accidental, it raises questions about Deslauriers' victory for the heavyweight belt in the fight.
As the game progresses, Reaves has yet to return to the ice, signaling a significant loss for the Leafs, especially considering his recent positive contributions to the team. This setback comes at a crucial time, just before the playoffs begin.
