Leafs centre Darryl Boyce missed practice and will likely miss Saturday’s game against the Buffalo Sabres with a severe facial injury.

In a tweet that says it all, Boyce wrote “My face hurts,” then added dryly “I don't know why.”

But the accompanying picture at shows Boyce’s nose cut and eyes covered after he ran into the photographers’ camera hole in Thursday's 3-0 win over Carolina. Boyce was trying to check a Hurricane player, but missed and hit the glass.

“He’s probably not going to play (against Buffalo),” Leafs coach Ron Wilson said of Boyce. “He’s got severe facial cuts, but we expect him Monday.”

John Mitchell, whose knee has healed, will likely take Boyce’s spot in the lineup.
