Giordano played only 6:31 time-on-ice before exiting Tuesday's contest with a suspected upper-body injury and is expected to miss an extended period, leaving a huge void on a defensive core already without Timothy Liljegren and John Klingberg. Giordano has been a consistent presence on the back end for the Maple Leafs this season, recording five points (1G / 4A) in 20 games while averaging 17:52.
