One of the Toronto Maple Leafs&#8217; most highly regarded goalie prospects will be on the shelf for a minimum of six months.
The Toronto Marlies announced on Thursday afternoon that goaltender Ian Scott has undergone successful hip surgery. The club said in a statement that the procedure is being done to &#8220;correct ongoing issues related to impingement.&#8221; The injury has sidelined Scott from playing in any AHL action this season

Hip impingement, according to my rudimentary Google search, is a condition that contributes to abnormal wearing of the ball and socket in the hip joint. Often creates pain in groin, which is what Keefe told me they thought it was a couple of months ago. Was a process to sort out.

While Scott, 20, has just one AHL regular-season game under his belt, he&#8217;s been around the Marlies quite a bit. The Calgary native was the Marlies&#8217; third-string goaltender throughout the duration of their 2018 Calder Cup Championship run.
Scott would go on to post a monstrous season with the Prince Albert Raiders the following year, posting a 1.83 goals-against average and a .932 save percentage during a 2018-2019 campaign that saw the Leafs&#8217; 2017 fourth-round pick lead his club to the Memorial Cup. Scott was named the WHL&#8217;s goaltender of the year and signed his entry-level contract with the Maple Leafs that season, too.
From the Marlies&#8217; perspective, losing Scott isn&#8217;t a terrible blow as Joseph Woll and Kasimir Kaskisuo are currently manning the crease. However, you never want to see a goalie prospect miss considerable time with a lower-body ailment.
