His normal spot is occupied by Jesper Boqvist, so he may slot in there, but I would expect Boqvist to stay in the lineup in some capacity.

### The Game

I was going to make some "lay it on the line" jokes for this game, but I can't summon up the sang froid for that. 

I want the Leafs to be in the final four, simple as that. But I'll say what I did last game in the GDT because it is my fundamental believe about sports and being a fan: I promise not to forsake you even if you fail because to fail, you first had to try. 

Go Leafs Go!
