Zaitsev expected to miss Game 2

The Toronto Maple Leafs will have to endure at least one more game without defenseman Nikita Zaitsev.

Head coach Mike Babcock said Friday that he expects Zaitsev to miss Game 2 of the Leafs' first-round series, according to TSN's Mark Masters.

Zaitsev did not dress for Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Washington Capitals after being forced from Sunday's game against the Columbus Blue Jackets with an upper-body injury.

While Zaitsev did not take the ice for practice with the team, Masters reports the blue-liner was spotted riding the stationary bike.
