Maple Leafs’ Chris Tanev shares injury update as other big names expect to be back for training camp

Tanev turns 37 in January, but carries a much younger man’s fire through the summer. “Very confident I can come back,” Tanev said. “I feel l work harder than anyone and will continue to do that to get where I need to be.” What is about other injured Leafs?

Matthews has been under wraps and working out with Tanev since his own operation in mid-March to repair an MCL tear from the Radko Gudas hit. He just shed his crutches on Monday with the goal of a full camp. Stolarz was relieved not to need surgery after a groin strain a week ago against Washington.

He earlier survived a puck in the throat from William Nylander, insisting both injuries were the wear-and-tear type, though they’ve been frequent since he joined Toronto two years ago. The nature of the groin injury will take some time to get back to full training. “I’ll hit the rehab process hard,” vowed Stolarz, who had been a bright light just before he went down.
