If the Toronto Maple Leafs wish to extend their current six-game win streak, they’ll have to do so without winger David Clarkson.

General manager Dave Nonis told Hockey Central at Noon Thursday that Clarkson could miss another week of action.

The 29-year-old was placed on injured reserve Jan. 17 to have a bursa sac in his elbow removed. At the time he was expected to miss three games, but his recovery is taking longer than originally thought.

Clarkson signed a 7-year, $36.75-million contract with the Leafs in the off-season, but has struggled at times. He has missed 16 of 52 games to date, 12 of which were due to a pair of suspensions. In 36 appearances he has just three goals, five assists, 51 penalty minutes and a minus-5 rating.
