Maple Leafs Petr Mrazek Out Weeks
The Toronto Maple Leafs will be without netminder Petr Mrazek for at least two weeks after he suffered a groin injury in his only appearance so far this season.
The Czech native signed in Toronto this past offseason for three years, making $3.8 million per season and his injury troubles have certainly been a hot topic item with the Toronto media. Now after two periods, he leaves hurt and its Jack Campbell's net for the foreseeable future.
So far this season Campbell is off to a fine start, registering a 0.86 GAA and a .986 save % through his three appearances. "Soup" has heard his name called out at Maple Leafs' home games so far and let's just say he appreciates the love:

The Maple Leafs have recalled Michael Hutchinson on an emergency basis and he's likely only play should the team have a back to back with Mrazek out. While he's not a stellar back up, having Hutchinson as your third option is a decent set up for the Maple Leafs. Now Leafs Nation holds their breath that "Soup" can stay healthy...
