Another big division game.

I imagine Woll gets the start and hopefully Matthews and Knies make an appearance.

Matthews and Knies likely return, nobody can be happier than Nylander lol.

Should be interesting to see what the lines are at practice today.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Is TB saving Vasi for tomorrow? Or is he starting today and Johansson starts tomorrow?

 

[Nineteen67]

Are they even thinking about playing Knies?

We will get Vasi 100%

I would go back to Stolarz. He’s got a larger sample size of good games this season.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Matthews and Knies supposed to come back.

Tampa will be playing their 3rd game in 4 nights, 2nd game of a back to back with travel.

Might be an opportunity to jump on a tired team.

 

[SprDaVE]

We need forwards to get healthy and back on track. Matthews and Knies back would be a good start but with McMann potentially out... it's not progressing very much.

I'd be pretty surprised if they did that.

 

[DarkKnight]

He's been practicing and last we heard was fine, think so.

 

[Jojalu]

TSN reporting Matthews will not play.

MOD EDIT: Not accurate

 

[1specter]

TSN reporting Matthews will not play.

If so I think this one is another loss, especially if McMann is now out too.

 

[SprDaVE]

TSN reporting Matthews will not play.

on the radio?

 

[Apex Predator]

TSN reporting Matthews will not play.

Now this gets interesting what the likes look like

 

[Jojalu]

on the radio?

On the ticker during Sportscenter.

Ehhhh you sure it wasn't about being questionable/probable? Not sure how accurate that is. They don't play until tomorrow, seems odd they would rule him out after saying all he needs is more practice time. Nothing from any of the insiders, beat writers or even on their official news... they would 100% put that out if they had info.

 

[Smif]

What in the world is wrong with him??

Just saw it once. Ticker said Matthews is out. Will miss his 9th straight game.

Watching now to see if they have a segment on it.

I am hopong an intern got a little excited and just put it up there

 

[TheDoldrums]

not panicking until I see something official on Matthews

but if he is out that is pretty worrying. Ruling him out the day before feels like a setback

if he still thinks he needs more conditioning, ffs get out there man. We have forwards dropping like flies and this is a game against a rival. Even if you can only go 14-15 minutes that's a massive boost.

 

[Jojalu]

I am thinking TSN has made a mistake because there is no news anywhere else about it.

Yeah that's old news. He missed his 9th game against Florida.

Matthews misses 9th straight game with upper-body injury for Maple Leafs | NHL.com

Center ‘felt really good’ after practice Tuesday but didn't play against Panthers

www.nhl.com

He could still be out of this game, but I don't think we will know before tomorrow.

no more heart attacks pls

 

[Aashir Mallik]

Need to capitalize here, getting 2 impact forwards back against a tired team

Can’t drop this game and be back in the pack, win and still stay above

 

[Nineteen67]

He's been practicing and last we heard was fine, think so.

If he’s been practising there can’t be anything broken
