TORONTO — The Toronto Maple Leafs said on Wednesday that veteran defenseman Jake Muzzin won't suit up again in 2022-23 after initially suffering a neck injury Oct. 17 in a collision with Arizona Coyotes forward Clayton Keller. Toronto announced back in November that Muzzin would re-evaluated in February. The 6-foot-4, 227-pounder had one assist in four games this season, most of which was spent on long-term injured reserve. The bruising 34-year-old won the Stanley Cup with the Los Angeles Kings in 2014 and was acquired by Toronto via trade in January 2019.
