Maple Leafs' Tyler Bozak: Will not play Friday

Bozak (lower body) will not slot back into the lineup against the Coyotes on Friday, Paul Hendrick of Leafs TV reports.

Analysis:

Bozak will be given time to rest up as the Leafs are not back in action until their Dec. 28 trip to Florida. The center has already missed two in a row due to this lower-body ailment. Considering the 30-year-old has three goals and seven assists on the power play in addition to his even-strength contributions, fans and fantasy owners alike will be hoping for a quick return to action.
