Calle Jarnkrok will miss at least two weeks for the Maple Leafs with a groin injury.
The forward was injured in a 3-1 win against the San Jose Sharks on Wednesday. He played 9:04 before leaving in the second period and not returning.
"He's going to be at least two weeks and we'll kind of take it from there," coach Sheldon Keefe said. "He won't travel with us here, we'll see where he's at once we return and that will give us a better sense maybe of what it looks like beyond that."
Toronto begins a two-game road trip against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday (7 p.m. ET; NHLN, SN, BSSUN, SN NOW) and continues at the Dallas Stars on Tuesday.
Jarnkrok has nine points (five goals, four assists) in 25 games this season.
TJ Brodie will travel with the Maple Leafs on the road trip but is not expected to play. The defenseman has missed the past 10 games with an oblique injury.
"He's progressing well," Keefe said. "Not necessarily expecting him to play on this trip but we do have a practice day in Dallas and obviously morning skates, I think we will see him more involved in regular team activities."
Brodie has two assists in 15 games this season.
