Maple Leafs’ Petr Mrazek Injures Groin in Debut Loss to Ottawa Senators

OTTAWA — Petr Mrazek had his moments in his Toronto Maple Leafs debut but the availability of the Czech goaltender has been thrown into doubt after he left the game in the second intermission with a groin injury.

“I don’t have an update on him at all other than he was unable to finish the game tonight,” Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe said following the team’s 3-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators on Thursday.

Mrazek made a last-second save on Ottawa’s Victor Mete in the second period. The goaltender was slow to get up after the play. He skated on his own to the bench but hobbled as he made his way to the tunnel towards the dressing room.

“It sucks to see him come out of the game, he played really well for us,” Maple Leafs forward Jason Spezza said.
