We'll have to see how he is tomorrow."[@TSN\_Edge](https://twitter.com/TSN%5FEdge?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Mark Masters (@markhmasters) [November 3, 2021](https://twitter.com/markhmasters/status/1455952333393776640?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) The logical next player up is healthy scratch Justin Holl, who’s sat the last two games after a terrible start to the year. But wouldn’t it be so crazy if they gave Rubīns a shot on the third pair? It would be, right? Or maybe just crazy enough to work...nah it’s dumb, haha, never mind. Unless? Never mind. > Justin Holl will play tonight if Travis Dermott is unable to go. > > Kristians Rubins recalled in case the Leafs need another healthy body (and as a reward for strong play with the Marlies).

I guess you could say he’s basically New-Marincin. --- #### Related [Top 25 Under 25: The Case for Kristians Rubins](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/toronto-maple-leafs-top-25-under-25-the-case-for-kristians-rubins-prospects-defense-marlies-analysis/) --- ### Blue and White In terms of the actual lineup, things seem to be going well for the offense so it’s highly unlikely we see any changes to the forwards. The defense pairs will almost certainly need to be adjusted if Dermott is out of the lineup. If he’s in, refer to the pairs from last game. We saw Timothy Liljegren play with Morgan Rielly on Tuesday more than anyone else, so that very well could be your top pair tonight. Forwards Michael Bunting - Auston Matthews - William Nylander Alex Kerfoot - John Tavares - Mitchell Marner Pierre Engvall - David Kämpf - Ondřej Kaše Nick Ritchie - Jason Spezza - Wayne Simmonds Defense Morgan Rielly - Timothy Liljegren Jake Muzzin - TJ Brodie Rasmus Sandin - Justin Holl *Injured: Travis Dermott (game-time decision)* *Scratched: Kristiāns Rubīns* Goalies Jack Campbell - confirmed starter Petr Mrázek ### White and Blue For the Lightning, it’s a homecoming of sorts, as the last time they were in Canada they won the Stanley Cup and the last time they were in Toronto they beat the Bruins in five games to get halfway to their second championship in franchise history. The silver lining for Leafs fans is if you go a little farther back than that, the last time the Lightning played a regular season game in Toronto it was a 201 win for the Leafs in an inspired, hopeful performance in... March 2020. I wrote all about it in my morning links at Raw Charge here. > Lightning Round: Remembering the last time Tampa Bay played in Toronto [#GoBolts](https://twitter.com/hashtag/GoBolts?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [https://t.co/eD5ojuXUVz](https://t.co/eD5ojuXUVz?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Raw Charge, a Champa Bay Lightning web site (@RawCharge) [November 4, 2021](https://twitter.com/RawCharge/status/1456214922694701057?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) In terms of the Bolts roster, they’re dealing with some injuries but things are turning around for them. Victor Hedman has been taking practices off but should be ready to play tonight. Ditto for Erik Černák. Jan Rutta missed the most recent game, but should be good to go as well to round out the top pair. Forward Boris Katchouk is expected to be out for a bit, but he’s been a scratch for most of the season. Former Leaf Zach Bogosian got hurt in the first game of the season and is still a few weeks away from returning to the lineup. And as we all know by now, Nikita Kucherov is out until December with a groin injury. Forwards Alex Killorn - Brayden Point - Anthony Cirelli Ondřej Palát - Steven Stamkos - Alex Barré-Boulet Patrick Maroon - Ross Colton - Corey Perry Mathieu Joseph - Pierre-Édouard Bellemare - Taylor Raddysh Defense Victor Hedman - Jan Rutta Ryan McDonagh - Erik Černák Mikhail Sergachev - Andrej Sustr Goaltenders Andrei Vasilevskiy - confirmed starter Brian Elliott
