3rd in the Atlantic, 9th in the NHL

Leafs to Keep an Eye on:

  • Ilya Lyubushkin will be starting his second tenure with the Leafs tonight after the Leafs acquired the Russian defender Thursday night from the Anaheim Ducks. Many Leafs are excited to have Lyubushkin back including a close friend of his, Ilya Samsonov. Look for Lyubushkin to play a simple game tonight as he eases back into Toronto’s lineup and maybe throw around his body too.
  • Calle Järnkrok returns to the Leafs lineup tonight after being out of the lineup with a broken knuckle. Järnkrok has been versatile for this Leafs team and can play all throughout the lineup as well as playing penalty killing minutes. Look for Järnkrok to catch up to speed quickly as he plays on the third line tonight.
  • Timothy Liljegren has been out day to day with an injury and is on his way back to recovery. Things are looking positive as Liljegren skated this morning and is a possibility for tonight’s game. Liljegren has been playing some of the best hockey of the season and will look to keep that up as he joins the lineup again.
