Ouch.

Let’s hope that the Leafs can turn things around this time.

Morgan Rielly is presumed to be out for the Leafs after an injury in the game on Thursday, but it’s not certain he won’t magically be better in time for this game.

### Toronto Maple Leafs (from practice yesterday)

#### Forward Lines

Zach Hyman - Auston Matthews - William Nylander   
Patrick Marleau - Nazem Kadri - Leo Komarov  
James van Riemsdyk - Tyler Bozak - Connor Brown  
Matt Martin - Frederik Gauthier - Mitch Marner

Josh Leivo, Dominic Moore

**Defence Pairings**

Andreas Borgman - Ron Hainsey

Morgan Rielly

**Goaltenders**

Frederik Andersen  
Curtis McElhinney

### Ottawa Senators (from daily faceoff)

#### Forward Lines

Mike Hoffman - Matt Duchene - Bobby Ryan  
Ryan Dzingel - Derick Brassard - Mark Stone  
Tom Pyatt - Filip Chlapik - Zack Smith  
Gabriel Dumont - ??? - Alexandre Burrows

Nate Thompson was in the third line centre slot but he is apparently out with an injury. It is not clear who will replace him.

**Defence Pairings**

Johnny Oduya - Erik Karlsson  
Dion Phaneuf - Cody Ceci  
Mike Boroweski - Fredrik Claesson

#### Goaltenders

Craig Anderson - confirmed starter  
Mike Condon

The Senators are of course big news right now because of the coming trade deadline and the lack of a contract extension for Eric Karlsson

[TSN talked to his teammates](https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/video/sens-speak-on-future-of-karlsson-in-ottawa~1307557?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) and they gave the usual deferrals and comments about how they want him to stay but right now are simply focused on winning games.

Meanwhile here in Toronto we have Frederik Andersen commenting that his teammates have to figure out if they are really committed to playing for the team, and they need a different attitude. He did not name names, but perhaps we will see who is the player “not committed” by the ice time tonight.

Thursday’s game ended in a disaster of a third period. The Leafs were up 2-0 and they lost 3-2 in overtime.

Let’s hope for a much better result tonight.

GO LEAFS GO!
