The Maple Leafs have alleviated their salary cap problem, but in a most painful way. The club announced Friday that a CT scan on left winger Andreas Johnsson revealed a leg issue that will keep him out until at least after Christmas. Johnsson has 16 points in 30 games, mostly with Matthews and Nylander. He was one of the many Leafs signed this summer to minimum wage contracts and assigned to the Marlies. The Leafs resume practice Friday after back-to-back losses brought their record under new coach Sheldon Keefe to 4-3.
