Leafs' Nieuwendyk out of action

TORONTO (AP) -- Toronto forward Joe Nieuwendyk will likely miss Game 2 of the Maple Leafs' second-round playoff series because of an undisclosed injury.
"He's probably not going to play," Toronto coach Pat Quinn said Saturday. Quinn declined to specify what the injury was.
Nieuwendyk, who missed a game against Ottawa in the opening round with a back injury, didn't practice on Saturday. Quinn said he played hurt in a 3-1 loss in Game 1 on Thursday night.
"He shouldn't have been playing," Quinn said. "We could see that his play wasn't where it needed to be and where it has been. It probably wasn't a good idea that he played, and eventually he had to pull himself."
Game 2 is tonight in Philadelphia.
Nieuwendyk has a team-high five goals in seven playoff games.
Captain Mats Sundin, meanwhile, might be ready for Game 2. Sundin, who has missed five straight games with a leg injury, looked good in practice on Saturday.
"Certainly, the way it feels right now, I'll be back for this series for sure," Sundin said. "It feels a lot better."
Sundin will decide whether he can play in Game 2 after today's morning skate.
Sundin is third on the Maple Leafs' career playoff points list with 69. In 78 postseason contests, Sundin has 32 goals and 37 assists.
