Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Jani Hakanpaa has missed the start of the season as he has been dealing with a knee injury that kept him on long-term injured reserve.
During this stint, Hakanpaa also got to play with Connor Dewar, who was also on LTIR. Fans were excited to find out that both players were finally off LTIR, and rightfully so.
Prior to this game, the Leafs decided to make a key roster decision in regard to Hakanpaa. He has officially been recalled from his conditioning stint.
