The Toronto Maple Leafs confirmed that forwards James van Riemsdyk and Joffrey Lupul will miss the rest of the regular season due to injury, according to multiple reports.
Van Riemsdyk was expected to miss six-to-eight weeks of action, but is still in a walking boot after suffering a broken foot in January. He is expected to be ready to represent the United States at the World Cup of Hockey in September.
JVR will begin skating in 2-3 wks time but will not rejoin team. Lupul had surgery Monday to correct a sport hernia. His season is over too.
