Toronto Maple Leafs forward Joe Thornton will have an MRI Thursday to determine the extent of the injury he sustained in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers.

Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe said after Wednesday's game it "definitely" looked like the veteran forward would miss time with the injury.

The 41-year-old forward suffered an apparent arm or wrist injury in the third period of the game.

Joe Thornton will get an MRI done this afternoon. Him and the team will have a better idea after that.
