Impact According to Blais, at one point, he was spitting out blood, but it seems he avoided any serious injury. With his assist versus the Blues on Tuesday, the 29-year-old winger brought his five-game pointless streak to a close. Once the Leafs start getting back some of their injured forwards, Blais will likely find himself serving as a healthy scratch. In the meantime, he figures to remain in a third-lone role alongside youngster Jacob Quillan.
