With the playoffs set to begin, the Toronto Maple Leafs were without two key players at practice today, sparking worry among Leaf fans that they aren't 100 percent healthy at this key juncture of the season.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are a different-looking team than last season, with a more gritty playstyle that many fans are looking forward to seeing in the post-season. However, as the season comes to a close, fans are starting to worry that the Leafs are getting banged up in the final few games of the year. Recently, they are missing Max Domi and Bobby McMann at practice today.

This is not good news for Leaf fans, and hopefully the team is going to take this time to rest them before the playoff start. The Leafs have two games remaining in the regular season, and there is no real reason to have Domi or McMann in the lineup.

Of course, without these two key players, the Leafs' lines looked different at practice today than previously.

Leafs lines at practice Apr. 15/24

Bertuzzi-Matthews-Marner
