Chris Tanev practiced with the Maple Leafs and has not been ruled out for their game against the Florida Panthers on Thursday (7 p.m. ET; TVAS, TSN4, SCRIPPS).
The defenseman has missed the past six games after sustaining an upper-body injury Feb. 25 during a 5-4 win against the Boston Bruins.
"I don't know, it's day to day here," Toronto coach Craig Berube said Wednesday. "We will make a decision tomorrow when he comes in and we see how he feels."
Tanev did not practice on a regular pair but said he's pleased with his recovery.
"Feeling good," he said. "Just progressing day by day on the timeline that was given to us. Just trying to get better every day. There was a timeline given to us, so I'm just trying to check the boxes and when that's there, hopefully I'll be playing."
The Maple Leafs (39-22-3) have gone 3-3-0 without Tanev, who has 17 points (two goals, 15 assists) and is plus-26 in 57 games. He is averaging 19:48 of ice time per game.Entertainment Plaza - TV, Movies, Sports, Music, Soaps
