The Toronto Maple Leafs' top line took a hit.

Forward Zach Hyman will miss at least three weeks with an ankle sprain, the team announced on Thursday night. 

Hyman injured his ankle in Toronto's 7-2 win over the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday night. The injury happened in the third period when Hyman crashed feet-first into the boards while chasing the puck.

Hyman was out for Toronto's 6-1 win over the Florida Panthers on Thursday. Toronto announced prior to puck drop that Hyman was undergoing an MRI.

The injury comes after Hyman was suspended for two games on a hit he delivered on Boston Bruins defenceman Charlie McAvoy on Dec. 8.

Hyman has seven goals and 15 points this season.
