O’Reilly left Saturday’s game against the Vancouver Canucks in the second period after being hit in the left hand by a puck on a shot by Auston Matthews. He will now miss a minimum of 10 games and 24 days.
Keefe said O’Reilly was in Toronto to see a specialist and the timing of his return was not yet clear, but the team expects him to return for the playoffs.
“Obviously when you get him you’re excited and you know what he can bring, so for us to lose him is certainly difficult and disappointing, but we acquired him to be in good shape. healthy and ready to make the playoffs and that it will be,” Keefe said. “To that end, it’s not bad in terms of the big picture.
“Especially with the nature of the injury, he won’t waste much time on the ice and skating.”
