Craig Berube Provides Critical Update on the Health of John Tavares

Craig Berube and the Toronto Maple Leafs are being forced to regroup over the next couple of days thanks to a 4-3 overtime loss to the Ottawa Senators on Saturday night.

Now, the Leafs are up 3-1 in the series and fans will be expecting them to close out this series once and for all. Things are getting scary and the fans are a bit anxious.

This is especially true because John Tavares was taken out in overtime by the blindside elbow of Artem Zub. Tavares left the game and eventually came back.

Today, fans were nervous about Tavares' condition and whether or not he would be ready to go in Game 5, a pivotal game.

Well, according to Berube, everything should be good. He is not concerned whatsoever and the fact Tavares returned to the bench seems like an indication that all is well.

Tavares not speaking to the media after the game isn't much of a surprise considering the Leafs probably want to protect their guys.

Today, they will be getting a day off as they travel back to Toronto and we wonder what must be going through their minds.

It is unlikely that they just give up a 3-0 lead, however, being 1-12 in series clinching games isn't exactly setting the world on fire.

Hopefully, this Maple Leafs squad is able to figure it out and get themselves right as the playoffs continue at the Scotiabank Arena on Tuesday.
