Maple Leafs' Steen, Boyce sidelined by shoulder injuries

 

TORONTO -- Toronto Maple Leafs center Alexander Steen is expected to miss 10 to 14 days because of a separated right shoulder, and center Darryl Boyce is out indefinitely with a separated left shoulder.

They were injured Thursday night in Toronto's loss in Washington.

The 23-year-old Steen has 10 goals and 24 points in 50 games for the Maple Leafs this season. Boyce was making his NHL debut when he was injured against the Capitals.

Toronto is already without forward Alexei Ponikarovsky, expected to miss six weeks because of a dislocated right shoulder.
