Maple Leafs lose centre Alexander Kerfoot after facial surgery

Nov 15, 2019 | 10:17 AM

Toronto Maple Leafs centre Alexander Kerfoot is out indefinitely after undergoing surgery to repair facial dental fractures.

The Leafs say Kerfoot originally sustained the injury Nov. 5 during a game against the Los Angeles Kings.

After Kerfoot reported ongoing discomfort while the team was in New York facing the Islanders on Wednesday, testing determined that surgery was required to repair the dental fractures.

Kerfoot joins fellow Leafs forward Mitch Marner (ankle) on the injured list.

Kerfoot, 25, has eight points (five goals, three assists) in 20 games with the Maple Leafs this season.
