Craig Berube Drops Yet Another Sobering Update on Scott Laughton

Scott Laughton remains one of the most intriguing players on the Toronto Maple Leafs, as fans want to see him get a whole season with the team

Unfortunately, the season did not start out kindly for Laughton, as he has been dealing with an ongoing lower-body injury.

On Wednesday, Laughton returned to the Leafs' lineup, and he had a very positive influence on the team. Unfortunately, it all went up in smoke on Saturday as he got injured against the Boston Bruins.

After the game, head coach Craig Berube revealed that Laughton would not play tonight against the Carolina Hurricanes.

Prior to the aforementioned game, Berube was asked if there was a new update on Laughton. Unfortunately, there wasn't.

Instead, the head coach said that there is no timeline for Laughton's return. In the interim, the Leafs will have to give playing time to Calle Jarnkrok and Sammy Blais.

At the end of the day, Laughton is very important to the team's fourth line. When he's not on the ice, the Leafs are a lot worse off.

He is a good player when it comes to defensive responsibility, and he can also give you some offense when you need it.

When paired with players like Max Domi and Steven Lorentz, Scott Laughton has proven to be sensational, and he also has chemistry with Easton Cowan.

That said, it is going to be interesting to see how the Leafs are able to carry on without Laughton on the roster.
