Joffrey Lupul has broken hand

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The Toronto Maple Leafs will be without left wing Joffrey Lupul, who broke a bone in his right hand in a fall at practice Thursday.

The team announced the injury shortly before the start of Friday night's game at Columbus.

Lupul, who has two goals and an assist in nine games this season, is out indefinitely, according to a post on the team's Twitter account.

Lupul, 31, has 186 goals and 202 assists in 609 games. He was third on the Maple Leafs last season with 22 goals.

To take his roster spot, the Leafs have recalled center Sam Carrick from their American Hockey League affiliate. Carrick could make his NHL debut Saturday night against the Chicago Blackhawks.

The 22-year-old fifth-round pick in the 2010 draft had an impressive training camp before being assigned to the minors.
