Game Notes |
| SJ -Alex Nedeljkovic will likely start for the Sharks -The big news in San Jose this season has of course been the breakout performance of Macklin Celebrini. The 19-year old is 3rd in the league in scoring with 43 points in 31 games and has put himself on the radar for Canada's Olympic team |
| TOR -Dennis Hildeby will likely start for the Leafs -The Leafs had to shake up their lines with the suspension to McMann and injury to Mermis. The struggling Willy Nylander will drop to the 3rd line in the hopes that playing with Roy and Joshua will get him "more involved and engaged more in the game" as Berube put it -Rielly missed practice on Wednesday due to an illness, but according to Berube it's expected he'll still be able to play. Regardless it's also expected that Henry Thrun will make his Leafs debut against his former team |
