Tavares did not practice on Saturday and missed their 4-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins that night. The veteran scored a goal and added an assist in the second game of the young season.
Additionally, goaltender Joseph Woll was also absent from practice on Monday. Head coach Craig Berube described the issue as "lower body tightness."
Woll was slated to start in net for the season opener, but was scratched late due to the lower-body issue. He hasn't practiced since last Tuesday.
Defenceman Timothy Liljegren was paired with Simon Benoit at practice, and The Athletic's Jonas Siegel reports that Liljegren may make his season debut on Wednesday. Liljegren played in 55 games a season ago for Toronto, where he scored three goals and finished with 23 points.
The Maple Leafs play their next game on Wednesday, against the Los Angeles Kings.
The Maple Leafs used these lines during Monday's practice:
Knies - Matthews - Marner
McMann - Domi - Nylander
Pacioretty - Holmberg - Robertson
Lorentz - Kampf - Reaves
Dewar
Rielly - Tanev
