The Leafs have done reasonably well in Marner's absence, going 4-3-1. However, they have lost their last two games against the Carolina Hurricanes and New Jersey Devils. Keefe was particularly upset with Captain John Tavares after the loss to the Devils.
From @markhmasters & @reporterchris - How Leafs captain John Tavares is handling being called out by Sheldon Keefe, and what Keefe is trying to achieve with the callout:
At this morning's practice Auston Matthews was absent due to illness confirms Keefe. He will be a game time decision for tonight's game.
The Leafs now hold just a two-point lead over the Tampa Bay Lightning for 3rd place in the Atlantic division. They do have one more game to play than the Lightning, but they will have to be sharp in order to hold them off. Hopefully, Marner's return will spark the team for the last few games of the regular season.
