The Toronto Maple Leafs can breathe a sigh of relief.
Defenseman Travis Dermott is considered day to day after X-rays and a CT scan showed he did not suffer a broken ankle after blocking a shot against the Winnipeg Jets, according to multiple reports.
On Monday, Maple Leafs coach Mike Babcock confirmed that Dermott should be "up and running" in the coming days.
Dermott, 21, made his debut with the Maple Leafs earlier this season. Through 36 contests, he has registered one goal and 12 assists.
The Maple Leafs' next game comes Monday against the Buffalo Sabres before heading to New Jersey to face off against the Devils on Thursday.
