Maple Leafs won't wear themed jerseys for team's Pride night Tuesday

The Toronto Maple Leafs won't wear themed warmup jerseys for the team's annual Pride night celebration Tuesday.

The organization has held Pride nights in support of the LGBTQ community since 2017 but has never sported special warmup jerseys.

The Leafs say rainbow stick tape will be available to players during the pre-game skate, and the team has several other events planned throughout the night.

Toronto players and head coach Sheldon Keefe donned rainbow-themed T-shirts during a Tuesday morning media availability before facing the Columbus Blue Jackets.

A small group of NHLers have declined to wear Pride warmup jerseys this season, including Philadelphia Flyers defenceman Ivan Provorov, San Jose Sharks goalie James Reimer, Eric and Marc Staal of the Florida Panthers, and Buffalo Sabres blue liner Ilya Lyubushkin.

"I believe actions speak louder than words," Rielly said Tuesday. "And especially speak louder than attire."

The Leafs will have Pride decals on their helmets, but Russian goaltender Ilya Samsonov isn't expected to wear one on the back of his mask.

Maple Leafs goalie Matt Murray is listed day-to-day with a head injury, Keefe said Tuesday.

Murray left Sunday's loss to the Red Wings after appearing to hit his head on the ice when Detroit forward Lucas Raymond slipped and fell into the back of the netminder's legs, causing Murray to fall backwards.

The 28-year-old Murray has struggled to stay healthy in his first season since being acquired from the Ottawa Senators.
