Here’s our recap of the game. --- #### Related [Leafs win last preseason game before the real thing on Wednesday](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/toronto-maple-leafs-win-last-preseason-game-before-the-real-thing-on-wednesday/) --- Next for the Leafs are the final roster cuts before the main event begins. The first game of the regular season is Wednesday, so any player that needs to be placed on waivers or sent to the Marlies directly will see that happen in about the next 48 hours. One unfortunate wrinkle in these plans cropped up last night when Ilya Mikheyev injured his hand in an awkward fall. The man is cursed. He just can’t catch a break with this team. > Closer look at Mikheyev falling > > You can see him land on his hand [pic.twitter.com/eTSZ0V8XRL](https://t.co/eTSZ0V8XRL?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Omar (@TicTacTOmar) [October 10, 2021](https://twitter.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1446990792946552836?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > In pain on the bench [pic.twitter.com/fr2ehlFo5s](https://t.co/fr2ehlFo5s?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Omar (@TicTacTOmar) [October 10, 2021](https://twitter.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1446991023746453513?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Sheldon Keefe said after the game that it doesn’t look good, but they need to examine his hand further to be certain. This could open a roster spot for a winger who would otherwise be sent to the Marlies if Mikheyev does have to go on the injured reserve list. We should know more soon. > Sheldon Keefe said the hand injury Ilya Mikheyev suffered tonight doesn’t look like it’ll be something short-term.
