Elliotte Friedman Gives his latest insights on the Toronto Maple Leafs
The Toronto Maple Leafs have been plagued by injuries this season, with key players like John Tavares, Mitch Marner, and Auston Matthews missing significant time.
The latest blow came in the form of Ryan O'Reilly's broken finger, which could have been a serious setback for the team's playoff hopes.
According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, the timeline for O'Reilly's recovery is better than expected.
"Ryan O'Reilly's injury timeline is as good as Toronto could have hoped � four weeks. That's right at the start of the playoffs. Word is O'Reilly's already had a huge impact on the dressing room, just in terms of how the players interact and socialize with one another."

O'Reilly, who was acquired from the St. Louis Blues in the offseason, has already made an impact in the Leafs' dressing room. His positive attitude and leadership qualities have been praised by his teammates, and his return to the ice could provide a much-needed boost as the team looks to make a deep playoff run.
With Ryan O'Reilly expected to return right at the start of the playoffs, the Leafs can breathe a little easier knowing that one of their key players will be back in action. However, they still have some work to do in the regular season to secure their spot in the postseason.
The team's depth will be tested once again, as they look to continue winning games without some of their top players in the lineup.
Overall, the news of Ryan O'Reilly's recovery timeline is a positive development for the Leafs, and fans can look forward to seeing him back on the ice in time for the playoffs.
