Preview: New Year New Panthers vs Maple Leafs

Public Address Announcer Mike Ross is sick tonight, meaning Simon Bennett has been called up from the Toronto Marlies to host the game tonight. I could be very wrong on this stat, but from what I could dig up the Leafs have only ever had four PA Announcers in their history, meaning Bennett would be the fifth. If someone could correct me on this I would love to add a correction.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have called up Simon Bennett @SportsVoiceGuy on emergency basis from the Toronto Marlies tonight for public address duties.

Get well soon, Rossy. https://t.co/KQkNpueIDk

Paul Maurice — is the head coach of the Panthers starting this season
Bryan McCabe — is the director of player personnel for Florida
Rick Dudley — was very briefly the director of player personnel in Toronto, is now a senior advisor in Florida
