After the practice, Keefe provided the reports with an update on Acciari's status. Keefe explained that Acciari is currently listed as day-to-day.
He has confirmed that Acciari will not be playing in the upcoming match against Florida.
Sheldon Keefe confirmed that due to Acciari's absence, the Leafs will be using their 11 forward and 7 defenseman setup that has been heavily criticized, along with all the other experimental lines Keefe has been using.
