Toronto Maple Leafs forward Nick Foligno is “making good progress” but remains out of the lineup for Thursday’s Game 5 against the Montreal Canadiens.
Foligno’s absence for Game 5 will be his third straight game out of the lineup after suffering an undisclosed lower-body injury in Game 2. The 33-year-old has been considered day-to-day ever since.
Since arriving in Toronto ahead of the trade deadline, Foligno has five points in nine games, including an assist in two post-season appearances.
The Maple Leafs can advance to the second round with a win over Montreal on Thursday. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT on Sportsnet and SN Now.
