Toronto Maple Leafs forward Scott Laughton was a hero against the Ottawa Senators and the team is going to need him against the Florida Panthers.
Despite his regular season struggles, the forward has shown in the playoffs that he is the kind of guy you want to have on your team.
Scott Laughton gets an update from Craig Berube
Today, the Maple Leafs hosted an optional skate and there were plenty of regulars in attendance. However, Laughton did not make it to the practice.
This subsequently sparked some injury concerns. However, as Craig Berube explained to the media, the forward is just fine. He simply took the day off to recover his body from a physical series.
«He's all good. That's the kind of thing you need in the playoffs-putting your body on the line. That's what it takes.»
Laughton was a hard sell for Leafs fans at first but he has certainly ingratiated himself with these recent performances.
Hopefully, he can continue to do big things with the team and show fans that he is truly a one-of-one player.
You need to the glue guys to win against the tough teams like the Florida Panthers and Laughton has most definitely positioned himself as that.
Only time will tell whether or not the rest of this Leafs team can stay healthy at a pivotal moment in the season.
