	Game notes

FLA
•Sergei Bobrovsky (24-20-3, 3.07 GAA, .901 Sv%) will likely start for the Panthers
•Florida's push for a playoff spot could be close to coming to an end after losing 4 straight games, the most recent one being a 5-2 loss to the sens. They currently sit 3 points behind the Penguins for the 2nd wild card spot in the East

TOR
•Ilya Samsonov (24-9-3, 2.46 GAA, .914 Sv%) will likely start for the Maple Leafs
•New dad Samsonov is back with the team and says his little break from the team gave him time to fully heal the nagging injury he's been playing through
•Acciari is considered day to day after sustaining an injury in the game against Nashville. He'll sit this one out as the Leafs go back to a 11F/7D line-up

Great Job CtB (as always)

No word on RoR going off the LTIR so far, was hoping he would be back at practice at least, anyway,

Go Leafs Go!!!

Leafs play Saturday, Sunday, and then Tuesday. Probably for sure out Saturday, slim chance Sunday, more likely Tuesday.

Leafs certainly shouldn't rush him back but with the nature of his injury I can't imagine he'll need a ton of full practices before being declared ready to play.

Yeah, I don't expect that ROR will be out long from a conditioning perspective.  I do hope they drag their feet on bringing him into games until they are sure that his finger is healed.  There is no benefit to having him playing at 80% in the postseason just to get an extra regular season game in.

I hope Acciari isn't missing time for that slash he took to the hand last game.

Sam Cosentino really is not a good analyst

For sure.

[herman]

That was pure bad luck for Tavares

[Guilt Trip]

Oops not good on McCabe, tough spot for Sammy.

[herman]

I see...

[lamajama]

Yeesh. Great start..

[lamajama]

I think old man Walt calling them soft has motivation the Panthers

[herman]

Why is Tavares so clunky on puck touches tonight?

[herman]

Liljegren fix your tape job

[Guilt Trip]

Schenn not so quick there.
