Head coach Sheldon Keefe said Monday that Muzzin has a broken bone in his face and will miss time, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Muzzin got off to a strong start this season, recording 12 points through 19 games. There's no clear timeline for his return. Once he's ready to go, the 32-year-old will require a full face shield. Mikko Lehtonen will enter the lineup in Muzzin's place for the time being.

When asked about his injury Wednesday, Muzzin said "Kind of a freak play and accident. All things are looking towards a full, healthy recovery," Kristen Shilton of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Muzzin suffered an undisclosed injury when he fell awkwardly and hit his head on Columbus' Oliver Bjorkstrand's knee during Game 2 of Toronto's qualifying-round matchup and subsequently missed the rest of the series, but it sounds like he should be good to go whenever next season gets underway. The 31-year-old blueliner notched 23 points in 53 games during the regular season in 2019-20.

Muzzin (undisclosed) resumed skating Sunday, Mark Masters of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Muzzin won't be available for Sunday's Game 5, but if the Maple Leafs are able to advance, he should be ready for Game 1 of Toronto's first-round series. The 31-year-old blueliner registered three shots on goal and five blocked shots through the first two games of the Leafs' qualifying-round series before suffering a scary upper-body injury near the end of Game 2.

Muzzin (undisclosed) will not be an option for the Maple Leafs for the rest of the team's best-of-five series versus Columbus.
EDGE Analysis
Muzzin has been discharged from the hospital and will remain in quarantine with the team within the bubble. If the club can get past the Jackets, there is a chance Muzzin will be able to resume playing. In the meantime, Martin Marincin figures to jump into the lineup while Morgan Rielly and Travis Dermott could see significant upticks in ice time.

Muzzin (undisclosed) needed to be stretchered off the ice in the third period of Tuesday's game against Columbus, James Mirtle of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Muzzin was tangled with a Blue Jackets player in his own zone when he collided awkwardly with his head jamming into an opponent's knee. The stretcher was called out for the defenseman, but the good news was that he was able to move his extremities on the way off the ice. The defenseman was taken to the hospital following the game. Muzzin departed having played 17:06 in the game and recorded three blocked shots.
