Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Travis Dermott will be out at least four weeks with a shoulder injury, the team announced Thursday.
Dermott left Wednesday night's game against the Edmonton Oilers after receiving an awkward hit from Brad Malone.

The 22-year-old is the second Toronto blue-liner to be sidelined recently, as Jake Gardiner was announced as week-to-week with a back injury prior to Wednesday night's contest.
Martin Marincin has been recalled from the Toronto Marlies ahead of the Leafs' game versus the New York Islanders Thursday.
Justin Holl is expected to play alongside Marincin, according to TSN's Kristen Shilton.
