The Maple Leafs play tomorrow in Arizona at 9 p.m. Toronto time. The Marlies play tonight in Toronto at 7 p.m.

Hardev is covering the Marlies tonight, when he tells me who is coaching them, or if there’s any firm word on permanent coaching there, I’ll let you know.

> Assistant coaches Rob Davison and A.J. MacLean will assume duties behind the bench for tonight’s game. [#MarliesLive](https://twitter.com/hashtag/MarliesLive?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)
