Lupul (hand) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Red Wings, Mark Masters of TSN reports.

Analysis:

As expected, the Maple Leafs want to give Lupul a few additional days to recover from the broken hand, so he'll set his sights on returning from IR in advance of Wednesday's tilt with the Penguins. Lupul will miss his 12th straight game with the injury.
