Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Chris Tanev expresses dissatisfaction with the team's load management plan. The Toronto Maple Leafs, currently in seventh place in the Atlantic Division, have dropped five of their last six games, with two of those losses occurring at home over the weekend. Veteran defenseman Chris Tanev missed the game on Sunday due to load management, according to Coach Jim Hiller.
Tanev disagrees with the plan, insisting he wants to play. Tanev has missed time this season due to an upper body injury, playing in just nine of the team's 19 games. Last year, due to a groin injury and core muscle surgery, he played in only 11 games. Since the 2021-22 campaign with the Calgary Flames, Tanev has not played a full season, missing games due to injuries. His production this year has also been subpar, with just one assist in nine games so far.
