Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Roman Polak will undergo surgery on his injured right leg Tuesday, head coach Mike Babcock announced.

Polak was forced to leave Game 2 versus the Washington Capitals on Saturday, after a hard hit from Brooks Orpik forced an awkward fall. He was declared done for the playoffs after the contest.

The 30-year-old appeared in 75 games through the regular season, registering four goals and seven assists, while playing a key role on Toronto's penalty kill.
