Game Notes
TOR
?Andersen (27-15-13, 2.73 GAA, .916 Sv%) will likely start for the Leafs
?Nylander with Matthews, Brown with Kadri, and on and on we go
?Gardiner was paired with Zaitsev at practice yesterday while Rielly paired with Marchenko, indicating that Marincin will return to the press box
?Looking at Tampa's injury list and you really realize just how lucky the Leafs have been in that regard this season
?This is pretty easily the biggest game of the season for the Leafs so far. They trail both the Islanders and Lightning by a single point for the final WC spot, but the Leafs have a game in hand
TB
?Andrei Vasilevskiy (17-13-6, 2.53 GAA, .919 Sv%) will likely start for the Lightning
?Vasilevskiy is 5-0-1 since Ben Bishop was traded, with a .956 Sv% during that span
?Former Leaf Byron Froese played a pair of games for Tampa with their injured centres out. He was pointless and a -2 in them
?
?The Steven Stamkos Watch is officially on: he's started skating and shooting, although still without the rest of the team. But a return later in March seems possible at this point
