<p><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Joffrey Lupul is injured again. Earth is round, water is wet.<br />

Lupul, who missed the third period of&nbsp;<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1811971536" tabindex="0" style="border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Monday</span></span>&nbsp;night&#8217;s 6-0 loss to Columbus, will not travel with the Leafs on their upcoming road trip. The 30-year old winger has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 groin strain, and will likely miss the next three games against Pittsburgh, Buffalo and Montreal.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Los Angeles Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick suffered a Grade 2 groin strain back in mid-November, and is expected to be out until at least Christmas. Nothing is for sure until MRI results are returned, but it&#8217;s not unfathomable to think Lupul could miss something like 4-6 weeks.</p>
<div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">At practice today, the Leafs were forced to skate with new line combinations&#8230; Necessary considering Lupul&#8217;s absence, but not all that bad considering how bad the team has played as of late. According to Sportsnet&#8217;s David Alter, Mason Raymond will skate in Lupul&#8217;s usual spot on the second line alongside Nazem Kadri and David Clarkson. Here&#8217;s the full breakdown&#8230;</div>
